Answer: A. 101

Explanation:

Amortization is done on the premium of the bond if elected to be done by the owner.

Bonds at par are worth 100 so a 102 bond has a premium of 2.

If amortized, this premium will have to be amortized over the period till maturity which in this case is 4 years.

Amortization per year = 2 points / 4 years

= 0.5

In 2 years the amortization would therefore be 1 point.

Cost basis of Bond = 102 - 1

= 101

A monopolistically competitive firm
Elanso [62]

Answer:

a. tries to differentiate its product from competitors' products.

Explanation:

A monopolistic competition is when there are many buyers and sellers of heterogeneous goods and services .

An example of a monopolistic competition is a restaurant.

The demand curve for a monopolistic competition is downward sloping which indicates that the demand is elastic.

If in the short run ,a monopolistic competition earns economic profit, in the long run, new firms would enter in the industry wiping out the economic profit. Therefore, in the long run, a monopolistic competition doesn't operate like a monopoly. A monopoly earns economic profit both in the short and long run.

The 2017 balance sheet of Kerber’s Tennis Shop, Inc., showed $2.7 million in long-term debt, $760,000 in the common stock accoun
g100num [7]

Answer: -($2,000,000)

Explanation:

Cash flow to creditors = Increase in long term debt + Interest Paid

                                     = ($2.7 - $4.25) + $180,000

                                     = - $1,550,000 + $180,000

                                     = - ($1,370,000)

Cash flow to shareholders = Dividends paid + Increase in common stock + Increase in additional paid-in surplus account

                                            = $510,000 + ($760,000 - $905,000) + ($6.25 - $7.9)

                                            = $510,000 - $145,000 - $1,650,000

                                            = - ($1,285,000)

Cash flow from Assets = Cash flow to creditors + Cash flow to shareholders

                                      = - ($1,370,000)  - ($1,285,000)

                                      = - ($2,655,000)

Operating cash flow =  Cash flow from Assets + Change in net working capital + net capital spending

                                  =   - ($2,655,000) + (-$195,000) + $850,000

                                  = -($2,000,000)
