Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The coupon payment is annual, meaning it is being paid once a year.

N(Number of years/Number of periods) = 40(20 x 2)

I/Y(Yield-To-Maturity) = ?

PMT(coupon payment) = $40[(80÷2/100) x $1,000]

FV(Future value/Par value) =$1,000

PV(present value or market value) = -828

Now to solve this, lets use a financial calculator (e.g Texas BA II plus)

N= 40; I/Y = ?; PMT = $40; FV = $1,000; CPT PV = -828

The cost of debt is 5%

Note that this is for semiannual. The annual cost of debt is therefore, 10%(5% x 2)

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

On Dec 31, 2012 Lee's liability would be $9,500 (principal amount) and $38 (accrued interest)

Explanation:

Lees notes:

Dec. 13 Accepted a $9,500, 45-day, 8% note dated December 13 in granting Miranda Lee a time extension on her past-due account receivable.

First interest due = $9,500 x 8% x 45/360 = $95

On the 31st 18 days would have accrued of the 45days = 18/45 x $95 = $38

On Dec 31, 2012 Lee's liability would be $9,500 (principal amount) and $38 (accrued interest)

Debit Miranda Lee with $9,538

Credit interest on Receivables $38

Credit Account receivables account with $9,500

When the full interest became due we will pass an additional entry:

Dr. Lee with $58

Cr. Interest on receivables with $58

(Being the balance interest on receivables due )

On Jan 27 when Lee paid her interest and principal amount, we will:

Debit Account receivables with $9,500

Debit interest on receivables Account with $95

Credit Tomas account with $9,595

( being liquidation of Lee's indebtedness)

Tomas notes:

Mar 3, Accepted a $5,000, 10%, 90-day note dated March 3 in granting a time extension on the past-due account receivable of Tomas Company.

Let's recognize the full interest due first:

$5,000 x 10% x 90/360 = $125

At this time we will:

Debit Tomas with $5,125

Credit interest on receivables with $125

Credit Account Receivables account with $5,000

On June 1 when Tomas paid his interest and principal amount, we will:

Debit Accounts receivable with $5,000

Debit interest on receivables with $125

Credit Tomas account with $5,125

( being liquidation of Tomas indebtedness)

Hiroshi Cheng notes:

Accepted a $2,000, 30-day, 9% note dated March 17 in granting Hiroshi Cheng a time extension on his past-due account receivable.

Interest = $2,000 x 9% x 30/360 = $15

The entries recognizing this liability will be to :

Debit Cheng Account with $2,015

Credit interest on receivables with $15

Credit Accounts receivable with $2,000

(Being receivables payable balance and interest on balance owed by Cheng)

However Cheng failed in paying up. It was decided to write off the debt.

The entries would be:

Dr. Accounts receivables $2,000

Dr. Interest on Accounts receivables with $15

Cr. Cheng's Account with $2,015

(Being debt owed by Cheng written off)

Suppose that there is asymmetric information in the market for used cars. Sellers know the quality of the car that they are​ sel
zepelin [54]

Answer:

$22,500

Explanation:

Chance of getting low quality car = 50%

Chance of getting high quality car = 50%

Cost of low quality car = $15,000

Cost of high quality car = $30,000

So, Price of the car = 50% of lower quality + 50% of higher quality

= (50% × $15,000) + (50% ×30,000)

=  $7,500 + $15,000

= $22,500

Hence, price of the used car will be $22,500.
