Answer:

the bond's real return for the year is 6.18 %.

Explanation:

First find the nominal return of the bond then the real return as follows :

PV = - $946.02

Pmt = $1,000 × 5.10% = $51

P/yr = 1

FV = $979.58

n = 1

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the nominal return of the bond, r is 8.9385 %.

Real Return = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate) -1

                   =  (1 + 0.089395) / (1 + 0.026) - 1

                   = 0.0618 or 6.18 %

Journalizing issuance of stock—at par and at a premium
suter [353]

Answer:

a.

Cash                                                                           27000 Dr

     Common Stock                                                            13500 Cr

     Paid in capital in excess of par-Common stock         13500 Cr

b.

Cash                                                    135000 Dr

     Preferred Stock                                   135000 Cr

Explanation:

a.

When we issue stock at premium, we always record the amount received from such issuance of stock at full. So, the cash account will be debited for 4500 * 6 = 27000

However, we record the common stock issued at par value and the remaining is credited under the reserve account which is Paid in capital in excess of par.

Thus the common stock will be credited by its par value of 4500 * 3 = 13500 and the remaining 4500 * 3 will be credited to the Paid in Capital account.

b.

The par value of the preferred stock is 4500 * 30 = 135000

Thus the preferred stock is issued at par and we simply debit the cash received from the issue and credit the preferred stock.

Which one of the following would not be considered an advantage of the corporate form of organization?a. Limited liability of ow
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Disadvantage of Corporate Form of Organization:

d. Government regulation

Explanation:

In recent times, government regulation of businesses appears to be regarded as a disadvantage of the corporate form of organizations.  Governments intervene and regulate corporate entities whenever they fail to be self-regulatory.  But, the regulations may appear to be so much that the corporate form of organization now looks like a disadvantage.  Given the many corporate scandals, collapses, and misapplications of resources by corporate entities that have become the order of the day, government regulation is very important.  Without government regulation, many corporate bodies will not be acting in the public interest.  This is more so with public entity corporate organizations with diverse stakeholders and corporate managers who act as if they were running their own autonomous governments.

Iggie took a university teaching job as an assistant professor in 1974 at a salary of $10,000. By 2003, she had been promoted to
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

$36,000

Explanation:

The computation of the lggie's salary is shown below:

= (Iggie salary in 1974) × (2003 price index ÷ 1974 price index)

= ($10,000) × (180 ÷ 50)

= $10,000 × 3.6

= $36,000

Since we have to compute the 2003 salary based on 1974 salary so we consider the 1974 salary and took the 2003 price index as a numerator and 1974 price index as a denominator.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

It might lead to over-optimistic projections

Explanation:

In simple words, the problem with using profitability index as the index criteria lies with the procedure of estimating it. In order to consider the business situation, the organisational finance group requires to settle with the corporation supervisors.

Leadership may be too enthusiastic about their assignment, so forecasts for cash flow may be too substantial. Consequently, in predicting the profitability index, there may be an uptrend prejudice.

Records at Hal’s Accounting Services show the following costs for year 1. Direct materials and supplies $ 40,000 Employee costs
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

See answers below

Explanation:

a. Direct materials & supplies  $40,000 = $40,000 × 110%

= $44,000 × 20,000/25,000

= $35,200

Employee costs = $2,900,000 × 105%

= $3,045,000 × 20,000/25,000

= $2,346,000

Variable overhead = $600,000 × 100%

= $600,000 × 20,000/25000

= $480,000

Fixed overhead = $700,000 × 105%

= $735,000

b. Total costs per unit year 2 =

$3,596,000 / 20,000

= $179.81
