Answer:
c. not affect the bond's duration.
Explanation:
The bond duration measures the sensitivity of a bond's price to change in the interest rate. It is a linear measure of those years in which the repayment of the principal is due. the change in interest rate does not affect the duration of the bond.
On the other hand decrease in interest rate would increase the bond's PV and Price of the bond as well.
Payment frequency would not change with the decrease interest rate.
The Coupon rate will also remain the same whether the interest rate increases or decreases.
Answer:
$1,057.86
Explanation:
Payroll taxes include:
- Social security tax withholdings 6.2% (on the first $132,900 of wages paid) = 6.2% x $8,338 = $516.96
- Medicare tax withholding 1.45% = 1.45% x $8,338 = $120.90
- Federal unemployment taxes (FUTA) 0.6% = $7,000 x 0.6% = $42
- State unemployment taxes (SUTA) 5.4% = $7,000 x 5.4% = $378
total payroll taxes = $1,057.86
Dividends= $ that people who bought stock in a company receive. Generally, these increase when the company is doing well.
Stock= becomes more expensive the better a company is doing and has been doing for a while because it is in higher demand.
I predict that the company's stock will rise because it is in higher demand based upon it's consistently doing well. Make sense?
Answer:
The Journal entries are as follows:
(1)
Equipment A/c Dr. $71,890
To cash $3,790
To accounts payable $68,100
(To record the purchase of equipment)
Workings:
Equipment value:
= Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges for shipment of equipment + Installation of equipment
= 64,000 +4,100 + 890 + 2,900
= $71,890
Cash Paid:
= Freight charges for shipment of equipment + Installation of equipment
= 890 + 2,900
= $3,790
Accounts payable = Purchase price + Sales tax
= 64,000 +4,100
= $68,100
