James Corporation is planning to issue bonds with a face value of $502,500 and a coupon rate of 6 percent. The bonds mature in 7

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Bond Price = $563,333.90007 rounded off to $563,333.90

Bond Price = $502500

Bond Price = $437232.16025 rounded off to $437232.16

Explanation:

To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, which is the present value of the bond, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is a semi annual bond, we will use the semi annual coupon payment, semi annual number of periods and semi annual YTM. The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

a. Case A: Market interest rate (annual): 4 percent

Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075

Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14

r or YTM = 4% * 6/12 = 0.02 or 2%

Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.02)^-14) / 0.02] + 502500 / (1+0.02)^14

Bond Price = $563,333.90007 rounded off to $563,333.90

b. Case B: Market interest rate (annual): 6 percent

Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075

Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14

r or YTM = 6% * 6/12 = 0.03 or 3%

Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.03)^-14) / 0.03] + 502500 / (1+0.03)^14

Bond Price = $502500

c. Case C: Market interest rate (annual): 8.5 percent.

Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075

Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14

r or YTM = 8.5% * 6/12 = 0.0425 or 4.25%

Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.0425)^-14) / 0.0425] + 502500/(1+0.0425)^14

Bond Price = $437232.16025 rounded off to $437232.16

Frolic Corporation has budgeted sales and production over the next quarter as follows: July August September Sales in units 46,5

Digiron [165]

Answer:

61,500 units

Explanation:

July August September

budgeted sales 46,500 58,500 <u> </u><u>61,500</u>

budgeted production 47,050 58,800 63,150

beginning inventory 5,300 5,850 6,150

ending inventory 5,850 6,150 7,800

ending inventory August = beginning inventory + budgeted production - budgeted sales = 5,850 + 58,800 - 58,500 = 6,150

units sold during September = beginning inventory + budgeted production - ending inventory = 6,150 + 63,150 - 7,800 = 61,500

Computing first-year depreciation and book value At the beginning of the year, Austin Airlines purchased a used airplane for $33

irakobra [83]

Answer:

1. a. $560,000

b. $13,400,000

c. $7,700,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense and the year end book value for the first year is shown below:

a) Straight-line method:

= (Purchase value of airplane - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($33,500,000 - $5,500,000) ÷ (5 years)

= ($28,000,000) ÷ (5 years)

= $560,000

In this, the depreciation expense is same for all the remaining useful life

(b) Double-declining balance method:

First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= Percentage ÷ useful life

= 100 ÷ 5

= 20%

Now the rate is double So, 40%

In year 1, the original cost is $33,500,000, so the depreciation is $13,400,000 after applying the 40% depreciation rate

(c) Units-of-production method:

= (Purchase value of airplane - residual value) ÷ (estimated miles)

= ($33,500,000 - $5,500,000) ÷ ($4,000,000 miles)

= ($28,000,000) ÷ ($4,000,000 miles)

= $7 per miles

Now for the first year, it would be

= Expected miles in first year × depreciation per miles

= 1,100,000 miles × $7 per miles

= $7,700,000

Now the book value would be

Straight-line method:

= Acquired value of a plain - accumulated depreciation

= $33,500,000 - $560,000

= $32,940,000

Double-declining balance method:

= Acquired value of a plain - accumulated depreciation

= $33,500,000 - $13,400,000

= $20,100,000

Units-of-production method:

= Acquired value of a plain - accumulated depreciation

= $33,500,000 - $7,700,000

= $25,800,000
