Answer:
Present Value of Annuity is $1,263,487
Explanation:
A fix Payment for a specified period of time is called annuity. The discounting of these payment on a specified rate is known as present value of annuity.
Formula for Present value of annuity is as follow
PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]
Where
P = Annual payment = $91,000
r = rate of return = 5.15%
n = number of years = 25 years
PV of annuity = $91,000 x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 0.0515 )^-25 ) / 0.0515 ]
PV of Annuity = $1,263,487
Answer:
b. $461,820
Explanation:
The computation of the amount reported in the balance sheet is shown below:
But before that we need to find out the amortization of discount which is
= Purchased value of bond × interest rate of return - face value of bond × interest rate
= $456,200 × 10% - $500,000 × 8%
= $45,620 - $40,000
= $5,620
Now the amount reported is
= Purchased value + discount amortization
= $456,200 + $5,620
= $461,820
Hence, the option b is correct
