Answer:
c. not affect the bond's duration.
Explanation:
The bond duration measures the sensitivity of a bond's price to change in the interest rate. It is a linear measure of those years in which the repayment of the principal is due. the change in interest rate does not affect the duration of the bond.
On the other hand decrease in interest rate would increase the bond's PV and Price of the bond as well.
Payment frequency would not change with the decrease interest rate.
The Coupon rate will also remain the same whether the interest rate increases or decreases.
Answer:
Redlining
Explanation:
Redlining stems from discrimination that consists denial of services, maybe financial based on the group one may fall under such as race, ethnicity or location. The Holden act(1977) is a real estate act of California meant to protect individuals from discriminations such as ones that involve denial of mortgage loan on the basis of something other than the credit worthiness of the individual . These discriminations could take the form of mortgage loan and, insurance loan denials or other financial services based on creditworthiness history of the group the person may fall under and not necessarily the individual's qualifications on his own
Answer:
The process cost summary is given below.
A-Total Material Cost = $22,500
B-Total Conversion costs = $95,625 (45,625+50,000)
C-Units transferred out = 40,000
D-Ending Inventory = 10,000
E-Equivalent units of material = 45,000
F-Equivalent units of conversion costs = 42,500
G-Equivalent cost per unit of material = $0.5 (A/E)
H-Equivalent cost per unit of conversion costs = $ 2.25 (B/F)
I-Equivalent cost per unit = $2.75 (G+H)
J-Cost of inventory transferred = $ 110,000 (I*C)
K-Cost Of Ending Inventory = $ 8,125 (H*(F-C) + (5000*0.5))
Job b will go out of business sooner if their profit is the same as A
Answer:
(A) Payback period for the machine= 3.5 years
(B) Simple rate of return for the machine= 87.5%
Explanation:
Alesu corporation is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $283,850
The useful life is 5 years
The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $81,100 per year
The salvage value is $107,100
(A) The payback period for the machine can be calculated as follows
= cost/amount of cash flow
= 283,850/81,100
= 3.5 years
(B) The simple rate of return for the machine can be calculated as follows
First we calculate the depreciation expense
= 283,850-107,100/5
= 176,750/5
= 35,350
Annual incremental income= cost savings -depreciation expenses
= 283,850-35,350
= 248,500
Simple rate of return = annual incremental income/cost × 100
= 248,500/283,850 × 100
= 0.875 × 100
= 87.5%
