erica [24]

Answer:

a) although both methods result in the same net increase or decrease in cash for the year, net cash flow from operating activities will be different under the two methods

Explanation:

Using the indirect method, computation of cash flow from operating activities begins with net income as shown in the income statement. The FASB also permits both methods but has expressed a preference for the direct method and the direct method shows the specific cash inflow and outflows for each operating activities of the business.

This option that does not align with the differences between the 2 methods is that the cash flow reported under direct and indirect method for operating activities would always remain the same notwithstanding the method used.

On January 1, Year 1, Greenfield, Inc. issues $100,000 of 9% bonds maturing in 10 years when the market rate of interest is 8%.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

When using a financial calculator to compute the issue price of the bonds, the applicable periodic interest rate ("I") is 3.923%

Explanation:

Hi, first, the discount interest rate that you have to choose is 8%, because 9% is the coupon rate (which in our case would be 9%/2=4.5% and this is used only to find the amount to be paid semi-annually).

Now we know we have to choose 8%, but this is an effective rate (I know this is an effective rate because no units were mentioned), and by definition it is a periodic rate, but it is not the rate that we need since the payments are going to be made in a semi-annual way, therefore we need to use the following equation.

$r(semi-annual)=[1+r(annual)]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1$

So, everything should look like this.

$r(semi-annual)=[1+0.08]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.03923$

Therefore, the periodic interest that yuo have to use to calculate the price of the bond is 3.923%

Best of luck.
