Complete question:

A customer has an existing portfolio that is mainly invested in high quality corporate bonds for stable income. As market interest rates have dropped, the customer's income has declined and she would like to allocate part of the portfolio to corporate bonds that offer potential growth. The BEST recommendation is to buy:

a). convertible debentures

b). equipment trust certificates

c) long term zero coupon bonds

d). commercial paper

Answer:

a). convertible debentures

Explanation:

Convertible debentures also known as convertible bonds, are a form of long term bonds, they are the type of bonds that can be converted into common stock or cash of equivalent value by the issuing company.

In this case, the customer has an existing portfolio that is mainly invested in high quality corporate bonds. The customer's income declined as a result of drops in market interest rates. The best recommendation to buy would be convertible bonds, because, when markets interest rate rises, value of the cutomer's convertible bond also rises. Here there is always a potential for growth. But this cannot be said for the other three options (equipment trust certificates, long term zero coupon bonds and commercial paper).

Thus the best recommendation would be to buy convertible debentures.

Option A is correct

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

She expects that a typical shawl should take 4 hours to​ produce, and the standard wage rate is $ 10.00 per hour. An average shawl uses 12 skeins of wool. Marina shops around for good​ deals, and expects to pay $ 3.30 per skein.

For ​ April, Mauriona​'s workers produced 200 shawls using 784 hours and 3,360 skeins of wool. Mauriona bought wool for $ 10,420 ​(and used the entire​ quantity), and incurred labor costs of $ 8,100.

1)

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 3.10

Direct material price variance= (3.3 - 3.10)*3,360= $672 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= [(12*200) - 3,360]*3.3= $3,168 unfavorable

Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance= [(4*200) - 784]*10= $160 favorable

Direct labor price variance= (SR - AR)*AQ

Direct labor price variance= (10 - 10.33)*784= 258.72 unfavorable

Miser Materials paid $27,500 in dividends and $28,311 in interest over the past year while net working capital increased from $1
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Cash flow from assets = $51,800

Explanation:

Cash flow from assets = Cash flow to Creditors + Cash flow to Shareholders

Cash flow to creditors = Interest Paid – (New loans taken – Paid Loans)

                                     = $28,311 - ($0 - $21,000)

                                     = $28,311 + $21,000

                                      = $49,311

Cash flow to shareholders = Dividends paid – Net new equity

                                            = $27,500 – $25,000

                                            = $2,500

Cash flow from assets = $49,311 + $2,500 = $51,811

Johnson Battery Systems recently reported $9,000 of sales, $6,000 of operating costs other than depreciation, and $1,500 of depr
muminat

Answer:

$1,100

Explanation:

EBIT = Sales - Costs - Depreciation

       = $9,000 - $6,000 - $1,500

       = $1,500

Net income = EBIT - Tax @ 40%

                    = $1,500 - $600

                    = $900

Operating cash flow = Net income + Depreciation

                                  = $900 + $1,500

                                  = $2,400

Free cash flows:

= Operating cash flow - Increase in working capital - Capital expenditure

= $2,400 - $500 - $800

= $1,100

Consider the following two separate events for a company during the year: 1. Loss on sale of investments = $30. 2. Unrealized ga
Serggg [28]

Answer:

A.) Net income = $(30); Comprehensive income = $(10).

Explanation:

First, the multiple choices to the question

A.) Net income = $(30); Comprehensive income = $(10).

B.) Net income = $(30); Comprehensive income = $20.

C.) Net income = $0; Comprehensive income = $(10).

D.) Net income = $(10); Comprehensive income = $20.

The question is to determine the effect of the two events listed on the Net Income as well as the comprehensive income

First, we look at event one:

The loss of sales of investment = #30

The effect of this is to debit the income statement because it is a net loss of $30. It brings a reduction to the income side. Income will usually have a credit balance, but a net loss reduces income therefore, it will be debited.

Second, the Unrealized gain on investment from increase in fair value = $20

The effect is $10 which represents $30 from the loss - $20 from the unrealised gain. It will however, also decrease the comprehensive income by the $10.
