mina [271]

Answer: The bondholders decided to convert the bonds into common stock because they believed that getting $2250 today is worth more than $120 interest every year and a $1000 principal payment at the end of the bonds life.

Explanation:

1) In order to find out the number of bonds issued we need to divide 750,000 (Total ) by 1000(Face value of each bond).Total number of bonds issues therefore are 750.

2) A 12 percent convertible bond means that the bond pays a coupon of 120 ( 0.12 * 1000) every year.

3) Each bond is convertible into 25 shares , which means if one bond is converted into common stock, the bond holder can earn $1750. We calculate this number by multiplying the number of shares which is 25 into the current market price of the shares which is 70.

4) Also the company is offering an extra $500 per bond for converting it which means (500/25) an extra $20 per share.

5) So in total the bondholder by converting a bond and selling the shares he gets by converting it can earn $2250 per bond which they bought for a $1000 and gives them 120$ of interest every year.

6) SO to conclude the bondholders decided to convert the bonds into common stock because they believed that getting $2250 today is worth more than $120 interest every year and a $1000 principal payment at the end of the bonds life.

Which of the following changes in the loanable funds market will decrease the equilibrium real interest rate?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The answer is Option C

Explanation:

Any event that would either decrease the demand for loanable funds or increase the supply of loanable funds will decrease the equilibrium interest rates. Supply of loanable funds is affect by the amount of national savings. National savings in turn, is the sum of private savings, public saving and net capital inflow.

In option C, capital inflows are increasing. This means that there would be an excess supply of money in the economy which can be converted into loanable funds. This would, therefore, push the supply curve to the right thereby reducing the real interest rate equilibrium.

During the year, Octagon produced 8,000 units, used 24,000 direct labor hours, and incurred variable overhead of $120,000. Budge

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Manufacturing overhead rate(spending) variance= $24,000 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual direct labor hours= 24,000

Octagon produced 8,000 units and incurred a variable overhead of $120,000.

The hours allowed per unit are 2. The standard variable overhead rate is $3.00 per direct labor hour.

To calculate the variable overhead spending variance, we need to use the following formula:

Manufacturing overhead rate(spending) variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Actual rate= 120,000/24,000= 5

Manufacturing overhead rate variance= (6 - 5)*24,000

Manufacturing overhead rate variance= $24,000 favorable
