Answer:

1. July 1, investment in UNF bonds

Dr Investment in bonds HTM 300,000,000

  Cr Cash 250,000,000

  Cr Discount on bonds 50,000,000

December 31, interest revenue from investment in bonds

Dr Cash 9,000,000

Dr Discount on bonds 1,000,000

  Cr Interest revenue 10.000,000

Discount on bonds = ($250,000,000 x 4% x 1/2) - ($300,000,000 x 3% x 1/2) = $1,000,000

2. Prepare any additional journal entry necessary for Tanner-UNF to report its investment in the December 31, 2018, balance sheet.

Investment in bonds HTM = $300,000,000 (face value) - $49,000,000 (discount on bonds) = $251,000,000

Changes in the market value of bonds held to maturity are not considered by the company.

4. Suppose Moody's bond rating agency downgraded the risk rating of the bonds motivating Tanner-UNF to sell the investment on January 2, 2019, for $310.0 million. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale.

Dr Cash 310,000,000

Dr Discount on bonds 49,000,000

   Cr Investment in bonds HTM 300,000,000

   Cr Gain on investment in bonds HTM 59,000,000

Bond Yields and Rates of Return A 30-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of $1,000 may be called in 4 years at a c
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The bond's yield to maturity is 9.45% using Excel to get exact values, and 9.59% using approximate method.

Explanation:

We can calculate is using 2 ways, using Excel to get the exact percentage or with approximate methods, calculating the semi-annual Yield to Maturity using the following formula

YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}

And from there we can calculate the Yield to Maturity just by multiplying the semi-annual one by 2.

Identifying the given information.

We have a period of 30 years, so for the semiannual bond we have n=2(30) = 60 periods.

The face value, FV, is $1000, the coupon rate is 0.10, thus we can use them to  find the interest per period PMT.

PMT=0.10 \times \cfrac{1000}{2}\\PMT=\$ 50

The current price of the bond, PV is $1050.

Replacing the values on the semiannual Yield to Maturity

YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}

YTM_{sm}=\cfrac{50+\cfrac{1000-1050}{60}}{\cfrac{1000+1050}{2}}

Simplifying we get

YTM_{sm}=4.797\%\\

Finding the Yield to Maturity.

We can just multiply by 2 to get the Yield to Maturity from our previous result and rounding it to 2 decimals we get

YTM = 2 YTM_{sm}\\YTM=9.59\%

Alternatively we can use Excel and write:

RATE(n, PMT, PV, FV)*2

That is

RATE(60,50,1050,1000)*2

And we will get the exact Yield to maturity 9.49%

<span>A. </span>The culture of the host country is likely to be much more individualistic than U.S. culture is.

 B. The manager will have greater difficulty finding educated workers in the host country than in the United States.

ANSWER

The correct option is D.

A socialist system is a type of economic system in which the factors of production are jointly owned by all the citizens and production affair is regulated by the government. Such a country does not encourage individuals to operate personal business. Thus, such a country will lay high tax on the income of the manager in order to discourage him from selling his machine in their country.
