Answer:

invoice price (dirty price) = $1,004.13

Explanation:

semi-annual coupon = $1,000 x 7% x 1/2 = $35

clean price = $1,001.25

accrued interest = (Jan. 30 - Jan. 15) x $35 x 1/182 = $2.88

invoice price (dirty price) = clean price + accrued interest = $1,001.25 + $2.88 = $1,004.13

the dirty price or invoice price of a bond includes any accrued interest that the bond may have earned in the period between the last coupon payment and the transaction date.

On January 1, 2018, Burleson Corporation’s projected benefit obligation was $48 million. During 2018 pension benefits paid by th
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

$59.8 million.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the year, the Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) was $48 million, however, during the year this amount was affected by several factors that are explained in the problem statement: the service cost ($13 million), the interest costs (defined by a discount rate of 10%) and the pension benefits paid by the company ($6 million).

To understand how it was modified exactly, first, we will do a theoretical analysis and then present it more <em>graphically</em> as a financial statement.

1. Theoretical analysis

Firstly, a Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) is a measure that reflects how much a company needs at the present time (December 31, 2018) to cover future pension liabilities. We know that the year began with a PBO of $48 million. However, this amount must be added to the service costs ($13 million), which is the increase in the present value of the liabilities, because the employees have completed another year in the company and that implies an increase in their pension credit.  

Therefore, so far, the PBO at December 31, 2018 is $61 million. To this amount must be added the interest cost which is the annual interest amount on the unpaid balance of the PBO. In this case, an interest rate of 10% is handled. Therefore the amount of interest is equal to $48 million (original PBO) * 10% = 4.8 million.

So far, the PBO at December 31, 2018 is $61 + $4.8 = $65.8 million

Finally, the pension benefits paid by the trustee during 2018 should be subtracted, since they are a partial payment of the PBO.

Therefore, we have: $65.8 - $6 = $59.8

2. As a financial statement.

                                   Year Ended At December 31, 2018

Benefits paid                                             ($6.0)

Ending PBO                                               $59.8

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

:

Sharon and Amy are roommates. They spend most of their time studying (of course), but they leave some time for their favorite activities: making pizza and brewing root beer. Sharon takes 4 hours to brew a gallon of root beer and 2 hours to make a pizza. Amy takes 6 hours to brew a gallon of root beer and 4 hours to make a pizza.  

a. What is each roommate’s opportunity cost of making a pizza?

Each room mates opportunity cost of making pizza is the beer they would have made with the time spent on making pizza which is

Sharon = 2/4 gallon of beer or 0.5 gallon of beer

Amy = 4/6 gallon of beer or 0.67 gallon of beer

Who has the absolute advantage in making pizza?  

Sharon arguably has absolute advantage because she has comparative advantage in producing both items because she spends less time producing both however she spends half the time of Amy in producing Pizza in particular

Who has the comparative advantage in making pizza?  

Sharon because she spends half the time of Amy in producing Pizza  

b. If Sharon and Amy trade foods with each other, who will trade away pizza in exchange for root beer? Amy will trade pizza for root beer because she has a greater disadvantage in Pizza production in relation to root beer when compared to Sharon. She spends double the time of Sharon in making Pizza but less than double the time of Sharon in making root beer

c. The price of pizza can be expressed in terms of gallons of root beer.  

Sharon = 2 hours/4 hours gallon of beer or 0.5 gallon of beer per pizza

Amy = 4 hours/6 hours gallon of beer or 0.67 gallon of beer per pizza

What is the highest price at which pizza can be traded that would make both roommates better off?  

That price should be lower than Amy's cost but higher than Sharon's cost, so they can both make profits. = (0.5+0.67)/2 = 0.585 gallon of root beer

What is the lowest price? Explain.

The lowest price will be the opportunity cost of Sharon which is 0.5 gallon of root beer because if the price is lower it becomes a loss to Sharon
