Answer:

1 year rate 2 year from now = 12%  (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

1-year rate = 8%

2-year rate = 9%

3-year rate = 10%

Computation:

According to Pure Expectations Hypothesis,

(1 + 3-year rate)³ = (1 + 2-year rate)² (1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)

(1.10)³ = (1 + 1.09)²(1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)

1.331 = 1.1881 (1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)

(1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)  = 1.12

1 year rate 2 year from now = 0.12

1 year rate 2 year from now = 12%  (Approx)

Blake Company purchased two identical inventory items. The item purchased first cost $18.00, and the item purchased second cost
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

c. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used

Explanation:

To check which answer is correct, we simply evaluate each option step by step.

<u>Option A</u>

Gross margin is the difference between selling price and cost.

Under FIFO gross margin is $14. (32 -18 =14)

Under LIFO gross margin is $13. (32-19 = 13)

Thus statement is incorrect as gross margin is higher if FIFO is used.

<u />

<u>Option B</u>

If FIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $19 as ending inventory will contain product purchased later that is at $19. In contrast, if LIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $18. Thus the statement becomes incorrect that it will be the same.

<u />

<u>Option C</u>

The ending inventory under FIFO is $19.

The ending inventory under LIFO is $18

The endng inventory under AVCO or weighted average will be, 18+19 / 2 = 18.5

Thus the statement is correct as the ending inventory under weighted average $18.5 is lower than ending inventory under FIFO $19. So, C is the correct Answer.

AB Builders, Inc., has 22-year bonds outstanding with a par value of $2,000 and a quoted price of 106.657. The bonds pay interes
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

7.32%

Explanation:

<em>The price of a bond is the present of its interest payment and the present value of redemption value (RV</em>

Present value of the Redemption Value (RV) =

FV× (1+r/2)^(-2×n)

FV- 2000, r- yield rate, r/2= 6.74%/2 = 3.37%, n-22

=2000× (1.0337)^(-2×22)

= 465.233

Present Value of the coupon payment =Price of bond - PV of RV

                          = (106.657% × 2000) - 465.233

                         =    $1667.90

PV of coupon payment= A × (1-(1+r)^(-2×n)

A- semiannual coupon payment, r -yield

   1667.90 = A × (1-(1.0337)^(-2*22))/0.0337

    1,667.90   = A × 22.7710

A = 1,667.90/22.7710

A= 73.246

Annual coupon payment = 2× 73.246=  146.493

Annual coupon rate = coupon payment/ face value

                                = (146.493/2,000 )× 100

                                = 7.32%

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Piazza should sue DGA Corporation because he (or she?) was struck by a company vehicle and the driver was acting within the scope of his normal employment tasks. Piazza might also sue Delaney along with DGA, since DGA is a small corporation and as a corporation is considered a separate legal entity whose shareholder equity might be really low.  

Piazza can sue for compensatory damages including pain and suffering, medical bills and lost wages.
