aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

No.

You cannot open up and put money into a Roth IRA in your child's name.

Explanation:

The IRS allows that any child, regardless of age, can contribute to an IRA if they have earned income. This means that only a child that has earned income can have an IRA opened for him or her. As the child is still underage, the IRA must be set up as a custodial account by the parent or another adult. This implies that the child cannot operate the account during the period she is underage but can have money saved in the account from her earned income.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

a. Premium

b. Discount

c. Discount

Explanation:

a. Valley issued $300,000 of bonds with a stated interest rate of 7 percent. At the time of issue, the market rate of interest for similar investments was 6 percent.

Premium (discount) = Bond's stated interest rate - Market rate of interest for similar investments = 7% - 6% = 1% premium

Therefore, Valley's bond will sell at a premium.

b. Spring issued $220,000 of bonds with a stated interest rate of 5 percent. At the time of issue, the market rate of interest for similar investments was 6 percent.

Premium (discount) = Bond's stated interest rate - Market rate of interest for similar investments = 5% - 6% = -1% discount

Therefore, Spring's bond will sell at a discount.

c. River Inc. issued $150,000 of callable bonds with a stated interest rate of 5 percent. The bonds were callable at 102. At the date of issue, the market rate of interest was 6 percent for similar investments.

Premium (discount) = Bond's stated interest rate - Market rate of interest for similar investments = 5% - 6% = -1% discount

Therefore, River Inc.'s bond will sell at a discount.
