Answer:

The bond's yield to maturity is 9.45% using Excel to get exact values, and 9.59% using approximate method.

Explanation:

We can calculate is using 2 ways, using Excel to get the exact percentage or with approximate methods, calculating the semi-annual Yield to Maturity using the following formula

YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}

And from there we can calculate the Yield to Maturity just by multiplying the semi-annual one by 2.

Identifying the given information.

We have a period of 30 years, so for the semiannual bond we have n=2(30) = 60 periods.

The face value, FV, is $1000, the coupon rate is 0.10, thus we can use them to  find the interest per period PMT.

PMT=0.10 \times \cfrac{1000}{2}\\PMT=\$ 50

The current price of the bond, PV is $1050.

Replacing the values on the semiannual Yield to Maturity

YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}

YTM_{sm}=\cfrac{50+\cfrac{1000-1050}{60}}{\cfrac{1000+1050}{2}}

Simplifying we get

YTM_{sm}=4.797\%\\

Finding the Yield to Maturity.

We can just multiply by 2 to get the Yield to Maturity from our previous result and rounding it to 2 decimals we get

YTM = 2 YTM_{sm}\\YTM=9.59\%

Alternatively we can use Excel and write:

RATE(n, PMT, PV, FV)*2

That is

RATE(60,50,1050,1000)*2

And we will get the exact Yield to maturity 9.49%

Accumulated Depreciation               226400 Dr

Loss on Sale                                        17000 Dr

         Equipment                                         497000 Cr

3.

Gain or (Loss) on sale = 9400 Gain

4.

Cash                                                    280000 Dr

Accumulated Depreciation              226400 Dr

         Gain on Sale                                      9400 Cr

         Equipment                                         497000 Cr

Explanation:

We first need to calculate the carrying value of the equipment at the date of disposal. The carrying value is calculated as follows,

Carrying value = Cost  -  Accumulated depreciation

Depreciation 2019  =  (497000 - 33000) * 83000 / 580000

Depreciation 2019  = 66400

Depreciation 2020  =  (497000 - 33000) * 133000 / 580000

Depreciation 2020  = 106400

Depreciation 2021  =  (497000 - 33000) * 67000 / 580000

Depreciation 2021  = 53600

Carrying value = 497000  -  [ 66400 + 106400 + 53600 ]

Carrying value = $270600

1.

Gain or (Loss) on sale = Sales price  -  Carrying Value

Gain or (Loss) on sale = 253600  -  270600

Gain or (Loss) on sale = (17000)  Loss

2.

Cash                                                     253600 Dr

Accumulated Depreciation                226400 Dr

Loss on Sale                                        17000 Dr

         Equipment                                         497000 Cr

3.

Gain or (Loss) on sale = Sales price  -  Carrying Value

Gain or (Loss) on sale = 280000  -  270600

Gain or (Loss) on sale = 9400 Gain

4.

Cash                                                    280000 Dr

Accumulated Depreciation                226400 Dr

         Gain on Sale                                      9400 Cr

         Equipment                                         497000 Cr

den301095 [7]

Operating ratio-measures the portion of operating revenue that goes to operating expenses, only revenue and expenses generated from passenger and freight transportation are considered

(operating expenses/operating revenue)*100

load factor-measures the percentage of a plane's capacity that is utilized,

(number of passengers/total number of seats)*100

All pilots should be interested in weight and balance control. The two changeable factors that can alter an aircraft's total weight and CG location are loading and fuel management, both of which are under the control of the pilot.

The owner or operator of the aircraft should guarantee that the pilots have access to current information and that the proper entries are made in the records when repairs or modifications are completed. The CG is altered as a result of equipment removal or addition.
