Answer:

Explanation:

a. If you believe that the term structure next year will be the same as today’s, calculate the return on (i) the 1-year zero and (ii) the 4-year zero.

b. Which bond provides a greater expected 1-year return? O 1-year zero-coupon bond O 4-year zero-coupon bond

The return on one year bond is = 5.2%

The price of 4 year bond today

=\frac{ 1000}{ (1.055)^4}

Price of 4 year bond today = 807.22

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be

=\frac{  1000}{(1.054)^3}

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be = 854.04

Return

=\frac{ (854.04 - 807.22)}{807.22}

Return = 5.8%

The longer term bond has given the higher return in this case at it's YTM fell during the holding period(4 -year)

First, the Social Security tax rate is 0.062 (6.2%) on the first $127,200 in wages, and then the Medicare tax is 0.0145 (1.45%) on the first $200,000 in income. Adding these two figures gives the total FICA taxes. 6.2 percent of $27,000 is $1,674, and 1.45 percent of $27,000 is $391.50. Adding these two values together (1674 + 391) gives a total of $2,065, or choice (A).</span>

Bond [772]

Answer:

Debit retained earnings for $15.30 million.

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Declaration of common stock dividend indicates no cash payments, only extra shares issued with rate of stock dividend

In this Rick Co. had 30 million shares and Rick Co. declared 1% stock dividend  

which means 30 million × 1% = 0.30 million shares issued

Retained earning = (0.30 million × $51)  

= $15.30 million

To common stock A/c =  (0.30 × $1) = $0.30 million

To capital paid in access A/c = (0.30 million × ($51-$1)) =  $15.00 million

( Being stock dividend was issued at 1% )

Hence, Option (d) Debit retained earning for $15.30 million is correct.
