Answer:

5.43%

Explanation:

Using du point formula for return on equity formula, the profit margin can be computed by rearranging the formula to make profit margin the subject.

return on equity=profit margin*assets turnover*leverage ratio

return on equity=growth rate*(1-dividend payout ratio)=9.89%*(1-40%)=5.93%

assets turnover=sales/total assets=inverse of total assets to sales=1/1.3

leverage ratio=total assets/equity

debt-equity ratio=0.42( debt is 0.42 while equity is 1 i.e 0.42/1=0.42)

total assets=debt+equity=0.42+1=1.42

equity is 1

5.93%=profit margin*1/1.3*1.42/1

5.93%=profit margin*1.092307692

profit margin=5.93%/1.092307692

profit margin=5.43%

Jan 1 2016

Dr Cash $ 129,352,725

Dr Discount on issue of bonds $20,647,275

Cr Bonds payable $150,000,000

3. June 30, 2016

Dr Interest expense $8,188,243

4. December 31, 2023

Dr Interest expense $8,188,243

Cr Discount on bonds payable $688,243

Cr Cash $7,500,000

Explanation:

1. Calculation to Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2016

First step is to find Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1: n = 30, i = 6% (PVA of $1) using ordinary annuity table

Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1: n = 30, i = 6% (PVA of $1)

Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1=13.76483

Second step is to find the Present value of $1: n = 30, i = 6% (PV of $1)

Present value of $1: n = 30, i = 6% (PV of $1)=0.17411

Now let calculate the Price of the bonds at January 1, 2016

Interest $ 103,236,225

[(10%/2 semiannually*$150,000,000) *13.76483]

Add Principal $26,116,500

($150,000,000 *0.17411 )

Present value (price) of the bonds $ 129,352,725

($ 103,236,225+$26,116,500)

Therefore the Price of the bonds at January 1, 2016 will be $ 129,352,725

2. Preparation of the journal entry to record their issuance by Universal Foods on January 1, 2016.

Jan 1 2016

Dr Cash $ 129,352,725

($ 103,236,225+$26,116,500)

Dr Discount on issue of bonds $20,647,275

($150,000,000-$ 129,352,725)

Cr Bonds payable $150,000,000

(Being to record issue of Bond)

3. Preparation of the journal entry to record interest on June 30, 2016

June 30, 2016

Dr Interest expense $8,188,243

($7,500,000 + $688,243)

Cr Discount on bonds payable $688,243

($20,647,275 ÷ 30)

Cr Cash $7,500,000

(10%/2 × $150,000,000)

(Being to record interest paid)

4. Preparation of the journal entry to record interest on December 31, 2023.

December 31, 2023

Dr Interest expense $8,188,243

($7,500,000 + $688,243)

Cr Cash $7,500,000

(10%/2× $150,000,000)

(Being to record interest paid)
