Answer:

The answer is 4.26 percent

Explanation:

This is a semiannual paying coupon.

N(Number of periods) = 40 periods ( 20 years x 2)

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ???

PV(present value or market price) = $950

PMT( coupon payment) = $40 ( [8 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 40; PMT = 40; FV= $1,000; PV= -950 CPT I/Y = 4.26

Therefore, the bond's yield-to-maturity is 4.26 percent

When treasury stock is purchased for an amount greater than its par, what is the effect on total shareholders' equity?
fomenos

When treasury stock is purchased for an amount greater than its par then the total shareholders' equity decreases.

Given that the treasury stock is purchased for an amount greater than its par.

We are required to find the effect of the purchase of treasury stock for an amount greater than its par on the total shareholders' equity.

Treasury stock is basically known as treasury shares or reacquired stock, and refers to previously outstanding stock that is bought back from stockholders by the issuing company. The result of issuing treasury stock is that the total number of outstanding shares on the open market decreases. Shares of a company are a part of total shareholders' equity and because shares are issued for security, it will decrease the total shareholders;equity.

Hence when treasury stock is purchased for an amount greater than its par then the total shareholders' equity decreases.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Chin Company

Journal Entries

1. Issuance of the bonds:

Debit Cash $9,594,415

Debit Bond Discounts $405,585

Credit Bonds Liability $10,000,000

To record the issuance of the bonds at a discount.

2. June 30:

Debit Bond Interest Expense $383,777

Credit Cash $350,000

Credit Amortization of Bond Discount $33,777

To record the first interest payment and amortization of bond discount.

3. December 31:

Debit Bond Interest Expense $385,128

Credit Cash $350,000

Credit Amortization of Bond Discount $35,128

To record the second interest payment and amortization of bond discount.

b. The amount of the bond interest expense for the first year:

June 30: Bonds' Interest expense = $383,777

Dec. 31: Bonds' Interest expense = $385,128

Total bond interest expense for the first year = $768,905

c. Chin Company was able to issue the bonds for only $9,594,415 rather than for the face amount of $10,000,000 because the bonds were issued at a discount and not face value.  Bonds can be issued at face value, discount, or premium, depending on the prevailing investor's sentiments and the attractiveness of the bonds to investors.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations

Face value of bonds = $10 million

Discounted value (Cash receipt) = $9,594,415

Total amount of discount = $405,585

Bond's interest rate = 7%

Market yield = 8%

Bond maturity period = 5 years

Payment period = semiannually

Issuance of the bonds:

Cash $9,594,415 Bond Discounts $405,585 Bonds Liability $10,000,000

June 30:

Cash payment for interest = $350,000 ($10,000,000 * 3.5%)

Bonds' Interest expense = $383,777 ($9,594,415 * 4%)

Amortization of bond discount = $33,777 ($383,777 - $350,000)

Bond book value = $9,628,192 ($9,594,415 + $33,777)

December 31:

Cash payment for interest = $350,000 ($10,000,000 * 3.5%)

Bonds' Interest expense = $385,128 ($9,628,192 * 4%)

Amortization of bond discount = $35,128 ( $385,128 - $350,000)

Bond book value = $9,663,410 ($9,628,192 + $35,218)

myrzilka [38]

According to the information in the Graph Veronique made a better decision than Lily because the final cost of her purchase is lower including finance charges (option B)

<h3>What is a finance charge?</h3>

A finance charge is an economic term that refers to additional charges made by finance companies (such as banks) to a transaction we make, such as a purchase.

In the case of Veronique and Lilly, they both bought the same suitcase with different prices. However, the better financial decision was Veronique's because she paid less ($25) for the same bag including finance charges.

While Lilly, despite having fewer fees, will have to pay $10 more than Veronique.
