Answer:

Correct option is (B)

Explanation:

Given:

Bond issue amount = $15,000,000

Market interest rate = 7.75%

Investors cannot pay interest more than $1,150,000

Choate cannot choose 6.5%, the bond will become less attractive to investors as it indicates that the bond is selling at discount.

If 7.75% interest is given that is the market interest, then interest amount would be $1,162,500 (15,000,000 × 0.0775)

Choate cannot afford to pay more than $1,150,000, so it cannot offer bonds at 7.75% or 8.1%.

The only option left is 7.65%. Interest amount would be $1,147,500 (15,000,000 × 0.0765) which is less than what the company can afford. Also, it is just marginally lesser than market interest rate of 7.75%, so bonds would still be attractive.

Choate should select 7.65%.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

a. $20.00

Explanation:

Given that

Common Stock = $150,000

Additional Paid-in Capital = $850,000

Par Value per share = $3

So,

Number of shares issued = Common Stock ÷ Par Value per share

= $150,000 ÷ $3

= 50,000

Now

Total Common Stock Equity = Common Stock + Additional Paid-in Capital

= $150,000 + $850,000

= $1,000,000

So,

Average Issue Price per share = Total Common Stock Equity ÷ Number of shares issued

= $1,000,000 ÷ 50,000

= $20.00

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

$800

Explanation:

The computation of the tax saving from using LIFO is shown below:

= Cost of goods sold under LIFO × tax rate  - Cost of goods sold under FIFO × tax rate

= $10,000 × 40% - $8,000 × 40%

= $4,000 - $3,200

= $800
