Answer:

Decrease in supply

Explanation:

When a government increases taxes it means that cost of production increases. Suppliers will have no choice but to increase prices at all levels of quantity demanded. This results in a decrease in supply because suppliers will not be able to maintain supply at all price levels.

Supply curve will shift to the left. Find attached an illustration.

If the market for tennis balls was in equilibrium an increase in taxes will result in decrease in ability of supplier to provide the good at all price levels so supply shifts to the left.

The App Store needs to raise $2.8 million for expansion. The firm wants to raise this money by selling 20-year, zero-coupon bond

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

10,064 bonds

Explanation:

Given:

Amount to be raised = $2,800,000

Par value (FV) = $1,000

Maturity (nper) = 20×2 = 40 periods

Yield (rate) = 6.49 ÷ 2 = 3.245% or 0.03245

Coupon payment is 0 as it's a zero coupon bond.

Assume it's compounded semi-annually.

Calculate the price of the bond today using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

Price of bond is $278.23

PV is negative as it's a cash outflow.

Number of bonds to be sold = Total amount to be raised ÷ Price of bond

= 2,800,000 ÷ 278.23

= 10,064 bonds

Company should sell 10,064 bonds to raise $2.8 million

The long-term liability section of Rainbow Digital Corporation’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, included 10% bonds havin

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Loss on early extinguishment = 1,008,357.64

Explanation:

Data:

T = Interest rate = 10% = 0.10

FA = Face amount = $1,000,000

RD = Remaining Discount = $139,294

Y = Yield rate = 12% = 0.12

RT = Retirement Time = 6/12 = 0.5

BA = Bonds at = 101% = 1.01

EE = Gain (loss) on early extinguishment = ?

IE = Interest Expense = ?

D = Discount on bond payable = ?

Calculations:

IE = Y * (FA - RD) * RT

IE = 0.12 * ($1,000,000 - $139,294) * 0.5 = 0.12 * $860,706 * 0.5 = $51,642.36

D = FA - [IE - (T * FA * RT)]

D = $1,000,000 - [$51,642.36 - (0.10 * $1,000,000 * 0.5)] = $1,000,000 - [$51,642.36 - $50,000] = $1,000,000 - $1,642.36 = $998,357.64

EE = FA - [D + (FA * BA)]

EE = $1,000,000 - [$998,357.64 + ($1,000,000 * 1.01)] = $1,000,000 - [$998,357.64 + $1,010,000] = $1,000,000 - 2,008,357.64 = -1,008,357.64

EE = -1,008,357.64 (Loss)

Jasper Corp. has a selling price of $44, and variable costs of $25 per unit. When 14,600 units are sold, profits equaled $133,00

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 7,600

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $44

Unitary variable cost= $25

When 14,600 units are sold, profits equaled $133,000.

First, we need to calculate the total fixed costs:

Fixed costs= Total contribution margin - net income

Fixed costs= 14,600*(44 - 25) - 133,000

Fixed costs= $144,400

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 144,400 / (44 - 25)

Break-even point in units= 7,600
