Answer:
$12.53
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Par value = $1,000
Coupon rate = 2.5%
Reference CPI = 204.89
Now CPI = 205.44
By considering the above information, the correct calculation of the current interest payment is
= Par value × Current CPI ÷ Reference CPI × Coupon rate ÷ 2
= $1,000 × 205.44 ÷ 204.89 × 2.5% ÷ 2
= $12.53
We assume the interest is on semi annual payments
Answer: a. 1.42
b) 2.74
c) 3.89
Explanation:
a) The Degree of Operating Leverage measures how much operating Income will change by if Sales change.
It is calculated with the formula,
= (Sales - Variable Costs) / (Sales - Variable Costs - fixed costs)
= (960,000 - 532,000) / (960,000 - 532,000 - 127,000)
= 1.42
b) The Degree of financial leverage measures how much Income will change due to a change in operating Income.
The formula is,
=Earnings before Interest and tax / Earnings before Interest and tax - Interest or just Earning before tax
= 301,000/110,000
= 2.74
c. Degree of Total Leverage is a measure of how sensitive the net income of a company is to a change in goods produced and/or sold.
It is calculated by multiplying DOL and DFL.
= 1.42 * 2.74
= 3.89

Answer and Explanation:
The effect of undervaluation of Inventory is shown below:-
Inventory Understated = Inventory counted + Correct value of inventory
= $545,000 - $554,000
= $9,000
Now, the effect of undervaluation of Inventory is
Cost of goods overstated by $9,000
Net income understated by $9,000
Retained earning understated by $9,000
Assets (Current assets - Inventory) understated by $9,000
Answer:
Stock A will be preferable for the risk averse Investors.
Explanation:
The reason is that risk is the measure of the vulnerability of the returns on the investment made which means if the return on the investment has greater vulnerability of returns then it is highly risky. So the risk averse investor would prefer stock A with lower risk.
(Special comments:
It must be noted that the higher return shows that the investment is also highly risky because nobody is going to give you more with low risk associated investments. This means lower return on Stock B is also preferable here for the risk averse investor because it carries lower risks.)
Answer:
The correct answer is: oligopoly.
Explanation:
A market structure where there are only a few firms is called an oligopoly market. These firms can be producing either identical products or differentiated products.
Because of few firms, there is a high degree of competition in the market. The firms are price makers and face a downward sloping curve.
There is interdependence in the market such that the economic decisions of a firm affects the price, profits and output level of its rivals. So the firms have to consider the reaction of its rivals before making an economic decision.
