Answer:

15%

Explanation:

The maximum rate of return that would be paid to borrow an additional $4,000 needed can be calculated as

Rate of return =\frac{Amount of interest}{Amount borrowed}

Rate of return = $600/$4000

Rate of return = 0.15 or 15%

NOTE: The amount of interest is the difference of interest earned at higher yield and interest earned at a lower yield.

Interest earned (higher yield) = $10,000 x 8%

Interest earned (higher yield) = $800

Interest earned (lower yield) = $14,000 x 10%

Interest earned (lower yield) = $1,400

Difference = $1,400-$800

Difference = $600

An issuer decides to call in an outstanding bond issue under the terms detailed in the bond resolution because interest rates ha
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

An optional Call

Explanation:

Callable Bond

Callable bond represents an instrument of debt where the issuer issues the instrument reserving the right to make a return of the principal of investors including the stoppage of interest payments before the date of maturity of the bond.

Organisations would usually issue bonds as callable when either to meet unexpected obligations like pay off other debts, fund expansions or when they sense that opportunities may arise in the future for them to get other forms of financing at lower interest rates.

For bonds to be callable the terms must be clearly stated in the bond's offering.

Optional Call

In optional call, the issuer reserves the right to call the bonds to take advantage of present circumstances such as significant drop in interest rates (as stated in the question). However, the terms detailed in the bond resolution will allow the bondholders to receive a premium to par as compensation for their loss of interest payments on the called bond.

Furthermore, a period of time must usually pass before the issuer can use the optional call.

Net income                           $ 996,700         $ 253,786     $1,250,486

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Annual production capacity = 95,000 units

Actual annual production and sales = 81,800 units

Special order (units) = 13,200

Selling price (normal) = $56 per unit

Special order selling price = $51 per unit

Direct materials                      $ 981,600

Direct labor                                613,500

Overhead                                  954,000

Three-column comparative Income Statement:

                                                  Normal         Special order       Total

Sales volume                             81,800                  13,200         95,000

Direct materials                      $ 981,600           $158,400       $1,140,000

Direct labor                                613,500              99,000            712,500

Overhead                                  954,000              76,973         1,030,973

Selling expenses                      558,000               84,151             642,151

Administrative expenses          477,000                  890            477,890

Total costs and expenses  $ 3,584,100           $419,414      $4,003,514

Net income                           $ 996,700         $ 253,786     $1,250,486

1. Direct materials cost per unit = $981,600/81,800 = $12

2. Direct labor cost per unit = $613,500/81,800 = $7.50

3. Variable Overhead cost = $954,000/2 = $477,000

Variable overhead cost per unit = $477,000/81,800 = $5.83129

4. Variable selling expenses = 70% of $558,000 = $390,600

Variable selling expenses per unit = $390,600/81,800 = $4.77506

Additional selling expense per unit = $6.37506 ($4.77506 + $1.60)

Selling expense for special order = 84,151($6.37506 * 13,200)

5. Administrative expenses increased by $890
