Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: the company's present business offer attractive growth opportunities and can be counted on to create economic value for shareholders.
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that a company faces the dilemma between continue with the current business lineup or change it in order to begin producing a new one by starting from zero then a lot of variables must be taken care of and considered, that is, that at the moment of making the final decision the managers must understand the opportunity costs that can affect the organization and moreover the benefits that the actual lineup makes. That is why, that at the time of sticking with the current business lineup it makes sense to continue with the current one when the company's present business offer attractive growth opportunities and can be counted on to create economic value for shareholders.
The amount of the salvage may be calculated using various equations. We are given that the sound tracker is retired about some time and this was initially bought at $41,000. However, we are given that the accumulated depreciation is also equal to $41,000.
Since the initial payment is similar to the accumulated depreciation hence, the salvage value is zero.
Answer:
b. 1,062.81
Explanation:
the key to answer this question is to remember that valuation of a bond depends basically of calculating the present value of a series of cash flows, so let´s think about a bond as if you were a lender so you will get interest by the money you lend (coupon) and at the end of n years you will get back the money you lend at the beginnin (principal), so applying math we have the bond value given by:
where: principal as said before is the value lended, coupon is the rate of interest paid, i is the interest rate and n is the number of periods
so applying to this particular exercise, as it is not said we will assume that 6% and 7% are interest rate convertible seminually, so the price of the bond will be:
price=1,062.81
take into account that here we are asked about semianually payments, so in 8 years there are 16 semesters.
