C. Limited

If you have a small amount of product/resources that means that it is rare, and therefore more valuable.

For example, in the U.S. economy, there is a limited amount of currency, and that is what makes the currency valuable.

Or the better example, in a game like Minecraft, the resource "diamond ore," is only worth value to the player because it is a Limited resource, and it does not spawn often.

Hope this helps!

An investor has two bonds in his portfolio that have a face value of $1,000 and pay a 9% annual coupon. Bond L matures in 15 yea

aksik [14]

Answer:

Price of L bond at 5 percent required rate of return = $1,415.16

Price of L bond at 7 percent required rate of return = $1,182.16

Price of L bond at 10 percent required rate of return = $923.94

The price of the long term bonds change more with a change in interest rate because the long term bonds have a greater interest rate risk as compared to the short term bonds

Explanation:

L bond has a coupon rate of 9 percent, a face value of $1,000 and matures in 15 years. The coupon payments are made on annual basis. At the time of maturity the bondholder gets the face value.

We can find the present value of the coupon payments using the present value of annuity formula and the present value of the face value to be received after fifteen years using the present value formula. Sum of the present value of annuity of coupon payments and present value of the face value should equal the fair value (price) of the bond.

If the required rate of return is 5 percent, the price of the bond can be computed as under

Price = PMT [[(1+i)^n] -1]/[ix(1+i)^n] + FV/(1+i)^n

where PMT = 1,000 x 9% = $90

n = 15 years, i = 5% and FV = $1,000

Plugging the values in the formula we get

Price = 90[{(1+0.05)^15} - 1]/ [0.05 x (1+0.05)^15] + 1,000/(1+0.05)^15

Price = 90[{(1.05)^15} - 1]/ [0.05 x (1.05)^15] + 1,000/(1.05)^15

Price = 90[2.07893 - 1]/ [0.05 x 2.07893] + 1,000/2.07893

Price = 90[1.07893]/ [0.10395] + 1,000/2.07893

Price = 934.14 + 481.02 = 1,415.16

If the required rate of return increases to 7 percent, the price is computed as under

Price = 90[{(1+0.07)^15} - 1]/ [0.07 x (1+0.07)^15] + 1,000/(1+0.07)^15

Price = 90[{(1.07)^15} - 1]/ [0.07 x (1.07)^15] + 1,000/(1.07)^15

Price = 90[2.759 - 1]/ [0.07 x 2.759] + 1,000/2.759

Price = 90[1.759]/ [0.19313] + 1,000/2.759

Price = 819.71+ 362.45 = 1,182.16

If the required rate of return increases to 10 percent, the price is computed as under

Price = 90[{(1+0.1)^15} - 1]/ [0.1 x (1+0.1)^15] + 1,000/(1+0.1)^15

Price = 90[{(1.1)^15} - 1]/ [0.1 x (1.1)^15] + 1,000/(1.1)^15

Price = 90[4.1772 - 1]/ [0.1 x 4.1772] + 1,000/4.1772

Price = 90[3.1772]/ [0.41772] + 1,000/4.1772

Price = 684.55+ 239.39 = 923.94

The price of the long term bonds change more with a change in interest rate because the long term bonds have a greater interest rate risk as compared to the short term bonds

Amount borrowed,

P = 100000

Interest rate,

r = 10%

or,

= 0.1

Time,

= 30 years

Now,

The annual payment will be:

⇒ $A=P\times \frac{r(1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}$

$=100000\times \frac{0.1(1+0.1)^{30}}{(1+0.1)^{30}-1}$

$=10,607.92$ ($)

Cash dividends to common stockholders $450,000

Number of common shares outstanding 200,000

Cash dividend per common share $2.25

($450,000 ÷ 200,000 shares)

D. The amount of $8.00 earnings per share figure in 2019 will have unfavorable figure when compared with the year 2018 reason been that

the year 2019 has one Earnings Per Share amount which is why we should compared it to the earnings per share from continuing operations in year 2018, which gave us the amount of $12.25 per share[($2,950,000 - $500,000) ÷200,000] which inturn makes Slick Software, Inc.’s earnings per share from continuing operations to reduce to the amount of $4.25 per share ($12.25-$8.00) from the year 2018 to 2019

True or false: standard rules exist to help managers identify appropriate allocation bases.

tangare [24]

False, standard rules doesn't exist to help managers identify appropriate allocation bases.

Standard Rules refers to strong moral commitments or ethics that allows smooth working of an organisation. It is basically fundamental requirements to govern an organisation. It could play a role in appropriate allocation bases but doesn't exist for it rather to keep check on principles and equality in an organisation. They are not legally binding. But, appropriate allocation bases require judgement. Managers use- the direct method or the sequential (or step) method or the reciprocal method, to develop judgements about allocation bases. Hence, the statement is false.
