Lance Whittingham IV specializes in buying deep discount bonds. These represent bonds that are trading at well below par value.

He has his eye on a bond issued by the Leisure Time Corporation. The $1,000 par value bond pays 6 percent annual interest and has 15 years remaining to maturity. The current yield to maturity on similar bonds is 11 percent. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.
a. What is the current price of the bonds?
b. By what percent will the price of the bonds increase between now and maturity? (Round "PV Factor" to 3 decimal places, intermediate and final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.) Price increases by %

Answer:

Future value = FV = 1000

Annual interest = i = 0.06

Yield to maturity = y = 0.15

Number of years = N = 15

Annuity Value = A = 60

PV_IFA = 5.847

PV_IF = 0.1229

1. PV of interest = A*PV_IFA   =  350.82

PV of principal = FV * PV_IF = <u>122.9</u>

Bond Price =                             <u>$473.72</u>

<u />

2. Percent increase at maturity

Maturity Value      $1,000.00

Current price        $<u>473.72</u>

Dollar increase     <u>$526.28</u>

The company purchases equipment with cash - The Equity account does the following:
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The correct answer would be C, No Effect.

Explanation:

In Balance Sheet, there are two sides, one side contains Assets and Liabilities, whereas the other side contains Owner's Equity. When ever there is a change in the accounts head, the changes are reflected in the balance sheet or the concerned financial statement. In this question, The company purchases equipment, which is an asset, from cash. This transaction can be shown by the following entry:

Debit                                            Credit

Equipment(Asset)                         Cash

In this entry, we can see that cash is being credited, which means, owners equity is decreased, but at the same time, equipment is debited, which means assets are increased, and when assets increase, it means owners equity is increased. So there won't be any effect on the owner's equity because equity is just converted from cash to assets. There will be no increase or decrease in the owners equity. It will remain same.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

a. The amount in Loaded-UP Fund will grow to $104.25 after 1 year, while the amount in the Economy Fund will grow to $103.64 after 1 year.

b. The amount in Loaded-UP Fund will grow to $113.30 after 3 years, while the amount in the Economy Fund will grow to $115.90 after 3 years.

c. The amount in Loaded-UP Fund will grow to $151.62 after 10 years, while the amount in the Economy Fund will grow to $171.41 after 10 years.

Explanation:

The following are the relevant formulae to use:

Amount available in Loaded-UP Fund after a certain year = Investment * (1 + Rate of return – 12b-1 fee – Expense ratio)^Number of years ……………….. (1)

Amount available in Economy Fund after a certain year = Investment * (1 – Front-end load) * (1 + Rate of return – Expense ratio)^Number of years ……………….. (2)

Assuming investment is equal to $100 and using equations (1) and (2), we have:

a. 1 year?

Amount available in Loaded-UP Fund after 3 years = $100 * (1 + 6% - 1% - 0.75%)^1 = $104.25

Amount available in Economy Fund after 3 years = $100 * (1 - 2%) * (1 + 6% - 0.25%)^1 = $103.64

Therefore, the amount in Loaded-UP Fund will grow to $104.25 after 1 year, while the amount in the Economy Fund will grow to $103.64 after 1 year.

b. 3 years?

Amount available in Loaded-UP Fund after 3 years = $100 * (1 + 6% - 1% - 0.75%)^3 = $113.30

Amount available in Economy Fund after 3 years = $100 * (1 - 2%) * (1 + 6% - 0.25%)^3 = $115.90

Therefore, the amount in Loaded-UP Fund will grow to $113.30 after 3 years, while the amount in the Economy Fund will grow to $115.90 after 3 years.

c. 10 years?

Amount available in Loaded-UP Fund after 3 years = $100 * (1 + 6% - 1% - 0.75%)^10 = $151.62

Amount available in Economy Fund after 3 years = $100 * (1 - 2%) * (1 + 6% - 0.25%)^10 = $171.41

Therefore, the amount in Loaded-UP Fund will grow to $151.62 after 10 years, while the amount in the Economy Fund will grow to $171.41 after 10 years.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

C. some factors that are not measured or observed may affect the curve.

Explanation:

a lot of unforeseen circumstances might occur. these occurrences would not be measured in the estimated demand curve. this would lead to the estimated demand curve not matching the actual demand curve.

for example, the factors affecting the demand for bread are ; price, income, price of a substitutes. these are included in estimating the demand curve for bread. Assume that a study comes out stating that bread is harmful to the health.this reduces the demand for bread. this study wasn't anticipated and included in estimating the demand curve. as a result, the actual data would differ from the estimated data
