Answer:

Min number required = 36742.44878 rounded off to 36743 bonds

Explanation:

To calculate the minimum number of bonds that must be sold, we first need to calculate the bonds price.

To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 1,000 * 0.062 * 6/12  = $31

Total periods (n) = 20 * 2 = 40

r or YTM = 0.0775 * 6/12 = 0.03875 or 3.875%

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 31 * [( 1 - (1+0.03875)^-40) / 0.03875]  + 1000 / (1+0.03875)^40

Bond Price = $843.7107767 rounded off to $843.71

The bonds will sell at a price of $843.71 today.

So the minimum number of bonds that must be sold is,

Min number required = 31,000,000 / 843.7107767

Min number required = 36742.44878 rounded off to 36743 bonds

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Dr Retained earnings $8.2

Cr Inventory $8.2

Explanation:

By changing method of an inventory valuation, the company should apply it retrospectively based on IAS 8 guidelines on change in accounting estimates and errors. Thus, the said difference from FIFO method to Weighted Average method of valuation should be credited directly against Retained earnings account because, accounts are already closed right after the year ended.

$32-$23.8= $8.2 million

On December 31, 2021, Interlink Communications issued 6% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $119 million. The bonds mature
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Price of the bond is $104,236,860.

Explanation:

Given:

Coupon rate is 6% or 0.06

Face value = $119,000,000

Coupon payment each year = 0.06×119,000,000

                                            = $7,140,000

Yield to maturity = 7% or 0.007

Maturity period = 30 years

Price of bond = Present value of face value + present value of coupon payment (annuity)

Price of bond = 119,000,000_{(PV\ 30,0.07)} + 7,140,000_{(PVA\ 30,0.07)}

PV of $1 for 7%,30 periods = 0.1314

PVA of $1 for 7%,30 periods = 12.409

Substitute the values in above formula:

Price of bond = (119,000,000 × 0.1314) + (7,140,000 × 12.409)

                     = 15,636,600 + 88,600,260

                    = $104,236,860

There will be slight difference in final answer as present value table is used. Excel spreadsheet gives an accurate answer.

So, price of bond is $104,236,860
