Answer:

Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>

1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.

PV * (1 + S1) = FV

1 + S1 = 1000 / 900

S1 = 1.1111 - 1

S1 = 0.1111  

S1 = 11.11%

1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950

Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50

950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2

950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2

1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905

(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905

1 + S2 = 1.160221/2

S2 = 7.714%

1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586

Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Please see the calculation explanation below and the depreciation expense chart for all methods is attached.

Explanation:

1. STRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $60,000 / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $20,000 per year

2. DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / Useful Life) x 2 </em>

Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / 3) x 2

Depreciation Expense Rate = 66.67%

<em>2013: </em>

Depreciation Expense = $70,000 x 66.67% = $46,667

<em>2014: </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $46,667) x 66.67% = $15,556

Since the residual value is $10,000 and as per Double Declining Balance Method, the point at which Book Value is equal to the residual value, no depreciation is taken.

<em>Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) - (Accumulated Depreciation) </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) - ($46,667)  

Depreciation Expense = $13,333

<em>2015: </em>

No Depreciation Expense for year 3, as Book value is already equal to residual value in year 2.

3. PER HOUR DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>2013:</em><em> </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2013 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (500 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $25,000

<em>2014: </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2014 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (400 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $20,000

<em>2015: </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2015 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (300 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $15,000

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

To increase asset and expense, you debit while credit decreases it.

To increase, liabity, revenue(income), equity, you credit while debit decreases it.

An insurance that has been prepaid is an asset because the benefit has not been fully utilised.

Samson and Sons has paid for an insurance that will expire December at the beginning of July.

$1,200 for 6 months.

Samson and Sons needs to recognize this as the service is being enjoyed monthly.

Therefore, insurance expense every month will increase by $1,200/6

$200

So we have:

Debit insurance expense $200; Credit prepaid insurance $200
