Answer:

a.

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

b.

Bond Price  = $502500

c.

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

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

$7,900

Explanation:

In Bank reconciliation statement the balances of Bank statement and the Balance from cash register is adjusted to calculated the adjusted cash balance for reporting at the end of the period. This is due to some outstanding deposits and Payment and other experiences which makes a difference between the bank statement balance and cash register balance.

Cash balance per bank = $7,310

Outstanding checks are those check which has been issued but not been presented in the bank yet. Deposit in transit is the amount of deposit which is pending in the clearing process.

Adjusted Balance = Cash Balance per bank - Outstanding Checks + Deposit in transit = $7,310 - $715 + $1,305 = $7,900

Bank charges are already adjusted in the cash balance per bank.
