Explanation:
A mortgage backed bond is tied to or secured on a real estate asset. This implies that the bond is not just a promise to pay a debt obligation but the attached promise is secured or backed by some real assets.

Answer:
B. Prepaid insurance is shown on the income statement
Explanation:
Prepaid insurance first and foremost is a current asset and as such will not reflect in the income statement but in the statement of Financial Position or Balance Sheet.
Although, prepaid insurance will be shown as paid within the year, it must be deducted from the insurance premium paid for the current year and then reported in the balance sheet as a current asset.
Prepaid insurance is treated as a current asset because it is an indication of insurance premiums paid for by the company in advance. It is a payment for economic benefits that will be enjoyed in the future, therefore it is a current asset. The only part of an insurance premium that shows in the income statement is the insurance expense paid for insurance benefit enjoyed in the current period
Answer:
Gross bonus=$1,148.54
FIT=252.68
OASDI=71.21
HI =16.65
MASS. TAX=58.00
Explanation:
Calculation for the withholding taxes and the gross amount of the bonus
Calculation for gross amount of the bonus
Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ (1- 0.22 - 0.062 - 0.0145 - 0.0505] - 0.01
Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ (0.78 - 0.062 - 0.0145 - 0.0505] - 0.01
Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ 0.653] - 0.01
Gross amount of the bonus=1,148.545-0.01
Gross amount of the bonus=$ 1,148.54
Therefore the Gross amount of the bonus will be $ 1,148.54
Calculation for the withholding taxes
FIT =1148.54 * 22%
FIT=252.68
OASDI= 1148.54 * 6.2%
OASDI=71.21
HI=1148.54 * 1.45%
HI =16.65
MASS. TAX =1148.54 * 5.05%
MASS. TAX =58.00
NET 750.00
[$1,148.54-(252.68+71.21+16.65+58.00)]
Therefore the withholding taxes are:
FIT=252.68
OASDI=71.21
HI =16.65
MASS. TAX = =58.00
Answer:
(a) It will have multiple IRRs
(b) The MIRR calculated is 10.18% . Going by MIRR result , this project will only generate returns that is equal to cost of capital(10%) .If there are other avaible more viable projects, it should be rejected ( Please see attached computation).
Explanation:
(a) The multiple IRRs occurs when cash flows change sign and result in more than one value for the IRR.
Application of IRR to value an investment is only suitable when the project has normal cash flows, i.e a negative initial cash flow (i.e initial investment) followed by a series of positive cash flows.
In this scenario, we have negative cash flow of $6m in year 4 which occured after positive cash flow of $3.5m per year from year 1 to 3. This typically make IRR unreliable. To overcome this limitation , we can use Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR)
(b) Please see attached for more details.
