inna [77]

Answer:

1. Bonds are issued at a premium.

2. $55,338,768.

3. $50,000,000

4. 8%

5. 7%

6. $74,661,232

Explanation:

The well arranged table is as below for clarity:

Date Cash Paid Interest Decrease in Carrying Value

Expense Carrying Value

01/01/2021 $55,338,768

06/30/2021 $2,000,000 $1,936,857 $63,143 55,275,625

12/31/2021 2,000,000 1,936,857 65,353 55,210,272

1. Face Value of Bonds = $50,000,000

Issue Value of Bonds = $55,338,768

Issue value of bonds is higher than its face amount; therefore, bonds are issued at a premium.

2. Original issue value of bonds is $55,338,768.

3. Face amount of the bonds is $50,000,000.

4. Semiannual interest rate = Cash paid / Face value of bonds

Stated semiannual interest rate = $2,000,000 / $50,000,000 = 0.04 =4%

Stated annual interest rate = 4% × 2 = 8%

The stated annual interest rate is 8%

5. Market semiannual interest rate = Interest expense on 6/30/21 / Carrying value on 1/1/2021

Market semiannual interest rate = $1,936,857 / $55,338,768

Market semiannual interest rate = 0.035 = 3.50%

Market annual interest rate = 2 × Market semiannual interest rate

Market annual interest rate = 2 × 0.035 = 7%

The market annual interest rate is 7%

6. Tenure of bonds = 20 years

Number of semiannual payment = 2 * Life of bonds = 2×20 = 40

Total cash paid = Number of semiannual payment × Semiannual interest payment + Maturity value of bonds

Total cash paid = 40 × $2,000,000 + $50,000,000

Total cash paid = $130,000,000

Total cash paid for interest = Total cash paid - Issue value of bonds

Total cash paid for interest = $130,000,000 - $55,338,768

Total cash paid for interest = $74,661,232

The total cash paid for interest assuming the bonds mature in 20 years is $74,661,232.

How the following changes will affect demand and supply strong argument:

Vilka [71]

Answer:

Please see below for answer

Explanation:

1 Reduction in subsidy by government

The supply will be negatively affected as the production cost will get higher and it will get more difficult to meet the demand of the product.

2 Increase in price of wood

This will again have an impact on the supply as the production cost increases due to more expensive raw materials.

3 Need of cupboards increased in universities

The demand has increased in this case and the supply will have to be increased too if the demand is to be met.

4 Reduction in tax for both buyers and seller of cupboard

This will result in an increase in both supply and demand as more people might be able to afford the cupboards now as compared to before.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

(A)Fv= $864.2

(B) Fv= $1302.05

(D) Fv= $96817.21

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment= $550

We will use the final value formula:

FV=Present value*(1+i)^n

(A) 9% compounded annually for 5 years.

Fv= 550*(1.09)^5=$864.2

(B) 9% compounded semiannually for 5 years.

Fv= 550*(1.09)^10= $1302.05

Fv= 550*(1.09)^15= $2003.4

(D) 9% compounded monthly for 5 years.

Fv= 550*(1.09)^60=$96817.21

unit sold 18,000 4,500

sales ratio 4 1

weigheted average contribution margin = ($7*4) + ($8*1)

4 + 1

= $36/5

= $7.2

Overall break-even quantity = $84,000/$7.2

= 11,667

Break-even unit :

DVD = (4 * 11,667)/ 5

= 9,334units

Equipment sets = ( 1 * 11,667)/5

= 2,333 units

Explanation:

this question is on multi- products.

The overall break-even quantity of the firm will be computed first using the weighted average contribution margin of the firm and common fixed cost.

The break-even quantity will later be divided between the two product based on their sales ratio.
