Answer:
5.32%
Explanation:
The computation of the coupon rate on the bonds is shown below:
As we know that
Current price = Annual coupon × Present value of annuity factor(6.1%,8 ) + $1,000 × Present value of discounting factor(6.1%,8)
$952 = Annual coupon × 6.18529143 + $1,000 × 0.622697222
Annual coupon is
= ($952 - 622.697222) ÷ 6.18529143
= $53.24
Now
Coupon rate is
= Annual coupon ÷ Face value
= $53.24 ÷ $1,000
= 5.32%
Working notes:
1. Present value of annuity is
= Annuity × [1 - (1 + interest rate)^-time period] ÷ rate
= Annual coupon × [1 - (1.061)^-8] ÷ 0.061
= Annual coupon × 6.18529143
And,
2.Present value of discounting factor is
= $1,000 ÷ 1.061^8
= $1000 × 0.622697222
Answer:
Total= 36,800 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (units ) - Production (units):
May: 20,000 - 19,000
June: 18,000 - 16,000
Two pounds of material is required for each finished unit. The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 20% of the following month's production needs.
Purchases for May= production for the month + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 19,000*2 pounds= 38,000 pounds
Desired ending inventory= (16,000*2)*0.2= 6,400 pounds
Beginning inventory= (38,000*0.2)= (7,600)
Total= 36,800 pounds
