Answer:

Explanation:

The pretax cost of debt is the YTM of the bond and the aftertax cost of debt is tax-adjusted. You can use a financial calculator and key in the following inputs.

note: adjust the recurring payment and time to semiannual basis.

Maturity of the bond as of today; N = 28*2 = 56

Price of the bond; PV = -( 1.07 * 1000) = -1,070

Face value of the bond ; FV = 1,000

Semi-annual payment; PMT = (4%/2)*1,000 = 20

Compute semiannual interest rate ; CPT I/Y = 1.801%

Next, convert the semiannual rate to annual rate(YTM) = 1.801% * 2 = 3.60%

Therefore, pretax cost of debt is 3.60%

Interest paid on borrowed money (debt) has tax benefits through interest tax shield. Based on this, the after tax cost of debt can be calculated. You can solve it by adjusting the pretax cost of debt to incorporate this tax benefit. The formula is as follows;

Aftertax cost of debt = Pretax cost of debt (1-tax)

Aftertax cost of debt = 0.0360(1-0.21) = 0.02844 or 2.84%

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The statement is True

If Brazilian oranges entered the United States, the number of oranges in the market would be higher, and if the quantity demanded remained more or less stable, the oranges prices would fall.

Changes in supply are those produced by anything other than price, thus, in this example we can see a change in supply, because the higher number of oranges has come from the market entry of new competitors : the brazilian orange providers.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Joyce cash distribution = $262500

Explanation:

given data

Joyce capital = $50,000

Xi capital = $105,000

liabilities = $10,000

assets sold = $190,000

to find out

we consider Determine the amount received by Joyce as a final distribution from liquidation of the partnership

solution

we carrying value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation is

value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation = $50,0000 + $105,000 + $10,000

value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation = $615000

so Profit on Liquidation is = value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation - Sale of Asset

Profit on Liquidation is = $615000 - $190,000

Profit on Liquidation is = $ 425000

and here since

Joyce and Xi share income and losses equally

so Joyce share of profit will be

Joyce share of profit = 50% × $ 425000

Joyce share of profit = $212500

and

so Joyce cash distribution will be

Joyce cash distribution = Joyce share of profit + Joyce capital

Joyce cash distribution = $212500 + $50,000

Joyce cash distribution = $262500
