Serga [27]

Answer:

The correct option is D,$292,500

Explanation:

The unamortized bond discount is the balance of the bond discount left at the end of first year when that year portion of bond discount has been amortized.

In order to ascertain the balance of the unamortized bond discount,we prepare the bond schedule showing how much was amortized in the year as follows:

Bal b/f interest expense at10% coupon payment 9% Bal c/f

$3,995,000 $399,500 $387,000 $4,007,500

The amortized interest is the difference between the interest expense based on the cash proceeds and the coupon payment calculated on the face value of $4.3 million

amortized discount=$399,500-$387,000=$12,500

Total bond discount=$4,300,000-$3,995,000=$305,000

unamortized discount=$305,000-$12,500=$292,500

A market order has: a. Price uncertainty but not execution uncertainty. b. Both price uncertainty and execution uncertainty. c.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Price uncertainty but not execution uncertainty.

Explanation:

When talking about trading orders, a market order is executed whether to buy or sell a security at market price. The market order does not follow the security's price at the bid or ask, it usually follows the last price at which the security was sold. Thus, that price is always uncertain.

The benefit of market order relies on the execution. Traders will not have to wait until another trader is willing to buy or sell at their desired level. The market order will execute the order almost automatically at the price the market has available.

Last year, Forest Products issued both 5-year and 10-year bonds at par. The bonds each have a coupon rate of 5.5 percent, paid s

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Price at issuance is $1,000 for both bonds.

Price of the 5 year bond after the market rate increased to 7.4% is:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3.7%)⁸ = $747.77

PV of coupon payments = $27.50 x 6.81694 (PV annuity factor, 3.7%, 8 periods) = $187.47

Market price = $935.24

this bond's price decreased by 64.76/1,000 = 0.06476 = 6.48%

Price of the 10 year bond after the market rate increased to 7.4% is:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3.7%)¹⁸ = $519.97

PV of coupon payments = $27.50 x 12.97365 (PV annuity factor, 3.7%, 18 periods) = $356.78

Market price = $876.75

this bond's price decreased by 123.25/1,000 = 0.12325 = 12.33%
