Several years ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that the winner of the Massachusetts State Lottery prize had the misfortune

The balance of the prize was $9,420,713, to be paid in 19 equal annual installments (There were 20 installments, but the winner had already received the first payment). The bankruptcy court judge ruled that the prize should be sold off to the highest bidder and the proceeds to be paid to the creditors.

Answer:

a. If the interest rate was 8%, how much would you have been prepared to bid for the prize?

this is an ordinary annuity:

annual payment = $9,420,713 / 20 = $471,035.65

number of periods = 19 periods

interest rate = 8%

therefore, the present value annuity factor = 9.6036

the present value of the annuity = $471,035.65 x 9.6036 = $4,523,637.97 ≈ $4,523,638

b. Enhance Reinsurance Company was reported to have offered S4.2 million. Use Excel to find the return that the company was looking for.

using the IRR function in Excel, the return that Enhance was looking for was 9.05%

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

The bank reconciliations are not intended to match the balances of banks that the company has registered with those of the extracts of those accounts. Its purpose, on the contrary, is to clearly identify what has generated the difference.

There are a number of causes that are usually the reason for that difference, and that we must take into account when making bank reconciliations:

  1. Unpaid Checks
  2. Consignments not paid
  3. Unregistered debit or credit notes
  4. Error registering a concept or value
  5. Bank Entity Error

Normally, checks are recorded in the records when they are issued, and not when they are cashed. Therefore, it is usually a cause of carelessness when there is a check that has not yet been cleared by the beneficiary. The opposite would be the provisions recorded in the auxiliary books that the bank has not yet paid to the company's account.

The debit notes that the bank has loaded into the company's account, or credit notes that the bank has paid, and that have not yet been registered in its assistant are a source of errors as well. This can happen, for example, if we have domiciled a tax, such as the IBI, which we have been charged but we have not yet included in the records, or an advance payment from a client to whom we have not yet issued the invoice.
