Paraphin [41]

Answer:

$823,000

Explanation:

To determine the net cash provided by operating activities using the indirect method we can use the following formula:

net cash flow = net income + depreciation expense - accounts receivable increase + inventory decrease - accounts payable decrease

net cash flow = $657,000 + $203,000 - $28,000 + $12,000 - $21,000 = $823,000

If accounts receivable decreased, then it would be added.

If inventories increased, then it would be subtracted.

If accounts payable increased, then it would be added.

Too much of a good or service is produced when there is a

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.

Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible

A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.

A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous. An example of a public good is a statue in a public park Everyone has assess to the statue and because one person is enjoying the view of the statue does not means another person cannot enjoy the view of the statue

McCue Inc.'s bonds currently sell for $1,250. They pay a $90 annual coupon, have a 25-year maturity, and a $1,000 par value, but

ratelena [41]

Answer:

YTM = 6.88%.

YTC = 4.26%.

Explanation:

a. Calculation of Yield to Maturity (YTM)

The bond's Yield to Maturity can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)

Where;

YTM = yield to maturity = ?

nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity = 25

pmt = annual coupon payment = $90 = 90

pv = present value = current bond price = $1,250 = 1250

fv = face value or par value of the bond = 1000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

YTM = RATE(25,90,-1250,1000) ............ (2)

Inputting =RATE(25,90,-1250,1000) into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 6.88%.

Therefore, YTM is 6.88%.

b. Calculation of Yield to Call (YTC)

The bond's Yield to call can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTC = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .....................(3)

Where;

YTM = yield to call = ?

nper = number of periods = number of years to call = 5

pmt = annual coupon payment = $90 = 90

pv = present value = current bond price = $1,250 = 1250

fv = future value of the bond or the amount at which the bond can be called = $1,050 = 1050

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

YTM = RATE(5,90,-1250,1050) ............ (4)

Inputting =RATE(5,90,-1250,1050) into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTC is obtained as 4.26%.

Therefore, YTC is 4.26%.
