Answer:

b. $1800

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the balance of your margin account at the end of the day

Margin account balance=$2,000-[100*($1008-$1010)]

Margin account balance=$2,000-(100*$2)

Margin account balance=$2,000-$200

Margin account balance=$1,800

Therefore the balance of your margin account at the end of the day is $1,800

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

a. <u>Calculation of level of sales</u>

Level of sales = Sales / Operating capacity

= 7,000,000,000/90%

= $7,777,777,777.78

b. <u>Calculation of Target fixed Assets/Sales ratio</u>

Fixed assets sales ratio = Fixed assets / Level of sales

= 1,944,000,000/7,777,777,777.78

= 0.249942857

= 0.25

c. <u>Calculation of Increase in Fixed assets</u>

Increase in fixed assets = Fixed assets sales ratio * (Increase in sales - Level of sales)

= 0.249942857 * (7,000,000,000*1+15% - 7,777,777,777.78)

= 0.249942857 * (8,050,000,000 - 7,777,777,777.78)

= 0.249942857 * 272,222,222.222

= $68,040,000.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The retainesd earnings figure will increase by 464,400 dollars

Explanation:

<em><u>Parent Company premium: </u></em>

Premium: 750,000 / 20 years = 37,500 depreciation per year

unamortized portion at Dec 31th 2013:

amortized: 750,000 - 37,500 x 4 years = 150,000

unarmortized: 750,000 - 150,000 = 600,000

We must reverse 40% of the premium as is within the same company:

600,000 x 40% = 240,000

<u><em>Subsidiary Discount:</em></u>

16,500,000 X 40% = 6,600,000

Purchase at 96.6

Discount of 3.4 = 6,600,000 x 3.4% = 224,400

We must reverse this as is part of the same company.

In total retained earnings will increase by

240,000 + 224,400 =  464,400 dollars

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$1,032.01

Explanation:

Given:

Face value of bond (FV) = $1,000

Coupon rate = 6% annual rate or 6% / 2 = 3% semi-annual rate

Coupon payment (pmt) = 0.03 × $1,000

                            = $30

Rate = 5.5% annually or 5.5 / 2 = 2.75%

Time period (nper) = 8 × 2 = 16 periods

Current value of bond is present value of bond which can be computed using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

So, present value of bond is $1,032.01.

PV is negative as it's cash outflow.
