1 answer:

4 0

<span>This is a tricky question, because most of the answers provided are correct. For instance, by raising taxes, the government drops down the demand rates, as well as by decreasing the money supply (in that case, it also prevents economy from falling into an inflating situation). As for balancing the budget, this economical move entails decreasing the public expenditure and, therefore, contracting the demanding economical figures too. </span>

Ware Co. produces and sells motorcycle parts. On the first day of its fiscal year, Ware issued $35,000,000 of five-year, 12% bon

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Cash proceeds is $37,702,607.23

First premium amortization $214,869.64

Second premium amortization is $225,613.12

First year interest expense is $ 3,759,517.24

Explanation:

The amount of cash proceeds from the bond issue is the pv of the bond using the pv formula,=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is 10% yield to maturity divided 2 since interest is semi-annual i.e 5%

nper is 5 years multiplied by 2=10

pmt is the semi-annual interest payable by the bond i.e $35,000,000*12%*6/12=$2,100,000

fv is the face value of the bond at $35,000,000

=-pv(5%,10,2100000,35000000)

pv=$37,702,607.23

The amount of premium to be amortized in first semi-annual interest payment:

Interest expense=$$37,702,607.23*10%/2=$1,885,130.36

coupon interest=$35,000,000*12%/2=$2,100,000

Premium amortized=$2,100,000-$1,885,130.36

premium amortized=$214,869.64

The amount of premium to be amortized in second semi-annual interest payment:

interest expense=($37,702,607.23+$2,100,000-$1,885,130.36)*10%/2

=$1,874,386.88

Premium amortized=$2,100,000-$1,874,386.88

premium amortized=$225613.12

Bond expense for the first payment= 37,702,607.23*10%/2

=$1,885,130.362

Bond expense for the first payment= 37,487,737.59 *10%/2

=$ 1,874,386.88

First year bond interest expense= 1,874,386.88+1,885,130.362

=$ 3,759,517.24

ACME labs bought a new inspection device for $182,730. The accounting department has estimated that the device will have an annu

enyata [817]

Answer:

salvage value is $16,368.34

Explanation:

given data

initial cost = $182,730

annualized capital cost = $42,442

service life = 7 year

interest rate = 15%

solution

we get here first present value that is

annual value = rate × $\frac{present\ value}{(1 - (1+ r)^{-t})}$ .................1

put here value and we get

42,442 = 15% × $\frac{present\ value}{(1 - (1+ 0.15)^{-7})}$

solve it we get

present value = $176,576.5343

present value = initial investment + salvage value ..............2

we take here present value and initial investment will be negative

-176,576.5343 = -182,730 + salvage value(p/f,15%,7)

-176,576.5343 +182,730 = salvage value(p/f,15%,7)

6,153.465 = salvage value × 0.3759

salvage value = 16,368.34

Softa [21]

Answer:

$233,000

Explanation:

As we know that

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + net purchase - ending inventory

where,

Beginning inventory = $32,000

Net purchase is

= Purchase - purchase discounts - purchase returns + freight in

= $240,000 - $6,000 - $10,000 + $17,000

= $241,000

And, the ending inventory is $40,000

So, the cost of goods sold is

= $32,000 + $241,000 - $40,000

= $233,000

We simply applied the above formula so that the cost of goods sold could come

Suppose that two factors have been identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflat

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

11.3%

Explanation:

Given that,

Growth rate of industrial production, IP = 4%

Inflation rate, IR = 3.0%

Beta = 1.1 on IP

Beta = 0.5 on IR

Rate of return = 7%

Before the changes in industrial production and inflation rate:

Rate of return = α + (Beta on IP) + (Beta on IR)

7% = α + (1.1 × 4%) + (0.5 × 3%)

7% = α + 4.4% + 1.5%

7% - 4.4% - 1.5% = α

1.1% = α

With the changes:

Rate of return:

= α + (Beta on IP) + (Beta on IR)

= 1.1% + (1.1 × 7%) + (0.5 × 5%)

= 1.1% + 7.7% + 2.5%

= 11.3%

Therefore, the revised estimate of the expected rate of return on the stock is 11.3%.
