Answer:

6.64%

Explanation:

The pretax cost of debt is the Yield to Maturity (YTM). Since the coupons are paid semiannually, adjust the duration and the coupon payment amount to semi-annual terms.

You can solve for the YTM using a financial calculator with the following inputs;

Maturity of the bond; N = 20*2 = 40

Face value ; FV = 1000

Semi-annual coupon payment ; PMT = (7%/2)*1000 = 35

Current price of the bond; PV = -1.04*1000 = -1040

Then compute the semiannual interest rate ; CPT I/Y =  3.318%

Therefore, pretax cost of debt; YTM = 3.318 *2 = 6.64%

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

warrant expense 51,000 debit

          cash                       6,000 credit

          warranty liability 45,000 credit

--to record warrant-related accounts--

interest payable 16,667 debit

interest expense  3,333 debit

          cash                  20,000 credit

--to record interest expense for the loan and installment--

Manufacturing Facilities 5,192,772  debit

              Cash                    5,000,000 credit

              Restoration Liability 192,772 credit

-- to record the payment to contractor--

Explanation:

Warranty: the additional expected expense are considered warranty laibility

Loan: we previously recorded accrued interest from March 1st to Dec 31th

That is: 200,000 x 10% x 10/12 months = 16,667 payable

At February 28th we recognize the last two month of interest

200,000 x 10% x 2/12 months = 3,333 expense

in total we have 16,667 + 3,333 = 20,000 cash outlay

Facility: the asset should add to all the cost necessary to acquire it:

As the conversion into community center is mandatory it is part of the cost:

present value of the 500,000 in ten years:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $500,000.00

time  10.00

rate  0.10000

\frac{500000}{(1 + 0.1)^{10} } = PV  

PV   192,771.6447

Total cost:

5,000,000 cashg + 192,772 liability = 5,192,772
