Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annua

Answer:

€928.46

Explanation:

Since it was hinted that bonds issued outside of  the United States pay coupons annually, it is expected that the bonds issued in Germany pay annual coupons, and its price is computed below using the bond price formula, excel PV function, and financial calculator:

Bond price=face value/(1+r)^n+annual coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n/r

face value=€1,000

r=yield to maturity=8.7%

n=number of annual coupons in 10 years=10

annual coupon=face value*coupon rate=€1,000*7.6%=€76

bond price=1000/(1+8.7%)^10+76*(1-(1+8.7%)^-10/8.7%

bond price=1000/(1.087)^10+76*(1-(1.087)^-10/0.087

bond price=1000/2.30300797+76*(1-0.43421474)/0.087

bond price=1000/2.30300797+76*0.56578526/0.087

bond price= 434.21+494.25= €928.46

Excel PV function:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

=-pv(8.7%,10,76,1000)

pv=€928.46

Financial calculator:

N=10

PMT=76

I/Y=8.7

FV=1000

CPT PV=€928.46

Answer:

Net Income understated by $20,000

Explanation:

In the first year, closing inventory was overstated by $80,000. The implications of the above would be,

Net Income for the first year would be overstated by $80,000

In the Second year,

Opening Stock would be overstated by $80,000

Due to this, cost of production stands overstated by $80,000.

Now, given in the question that closing stock for second year is overstated by $60,000 i.e profits are overstated by $60,000.

This means, the net effect on profits would be, $80,000 less $60,000 i.e $20,000 understated profits for the second year.

Some countries share a common currency (e.g., those that participate in the euro), while some other countries peg their currenci
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The potential of additional regional currencies such as the euro is very important, and for this reason, many economists support the idea. In fact, John Maynard Keynes, one of the most influential economists in history, once proposed not a regional common currency, but a common global currency.

The potential lies in the fact that regional currencies allow to coordinate a common monetary policy in several countries. This common policy means that several countries now have the same interest rates, the same rate of inflation, and the same currency itself, and all these commonalities facilitate the exchange of goods and services.

While the Euro has had drawbacks since its inception, the Euro has survived, and is now one of the strongest curriencies in the world.

If you support the concept, should those currencies be tied to regional economic blocs?

I support the concept, and I agree that they should be tied to regional economic bloc. It would not be very effective to adopt a common currency for countries that are not economically integrated in other areas.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

A. Increase liabilities (Accounts payable) by $337.8 million

Explanation:

The journal​ entry will be: Inventory (Credit - Increased) 337,860,000 and Accounts payable (Debit - Increased) 337,860,000.

The company must recognize the increase in the Inventory and the medium of payment (Accounts payable).

B is false because this operationn can also be a decrease in cash, but the amount in the operation is too high for this payment medium.

C is false because, the inventory is not sold, and COSG will be increased when the goods are sold.

D is also false because the inventory is increasing, not decreasing.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$520,000

Explanation:

Kela corporation reports a net income of $450,000

The depreciation is $70,000

A cash of $50,000 was borrowed on a 5-year note payable

Therefore, the total cash inflows from operating activities can be calculated as follows

= Net income+depreciation

= $450,000+$70,000

= $520,000

Hence the total cash inflow from operating activities is $520,000

The opportunity cost for country x of producing apples and oranges are 0.5 and 2 respectively. While for country y, the oopportunity cost of producing apples and oranges are 0.1 and 10 respectively.
