Answer:

This study aimed to identify cassava quality attributes preferred by users along the food chain, in order to provide breeders with criteria for prioritisation. Survey and consumer‐testing studies were conducted within Apac and Luwero districts in Uganda. Additionally, sensory evaluation by trained panellists was conducted to determine descriptors for assessing quality of boiled roots. Results revealed softness of boiled roots and in‐ground storability as key attributes influencing varietal preference besides high yield, non‐bitter roots, disease resistance, early maturity and drought resistance. For some attributes like in‐ground storability, preference differed significantly between locations and showed differentiation by gender. Local varieties were found to be superior in quality attributes. From sensory evaluation, twenty‐one descriptors associated with appearance, texture, taste and aroma of boiled roots were determined. Findings from this study are vital for breeders to adopt gender‐responsive approaches in order to develop varieties that meet the needs and preferences of end users.

Dr Bond Payable $800,000

Dr Loss on early extinguishment $11,000

Cr Discount on bonds $21,000 (7/10 x $30,000)

Cr Cash $790,000

Supporting calculations:

*Unamortized discount calculation:

Face value of the bond 800,000

Less: issue price of the bond 770,000

Discount on bonds payable 30,000 (800,000-770,000)

Amortization of discount on bonds payable per year under straight line method (30,000/10) 3,000

Unamortized discount for the remaingg 7 years is 21,000 (7*3,000)

*Loss on early extinguishment calculation:

Face value of the bond 800,000

Less: Unamortized discount for the remaingg 7 years 21,000

Carrying value of the bonds (800,000-21,000) 779,000

Retirement price of the bonds 790,000

Loss on early extinguishment -11,000

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

You should buy more shares

Explanation:

The above-mentioned question is missing few components. I have added them to explain on how the question would be solved if all the variables were provided. Please note the additions in bold text below. The answer of which is given afterwards.

You own 300 shares of Somner Resources' preferred stock, which currently sells for $39 per share and pays annual dividends of $5.50 per share. If the market's required yield on similar shares 12% is percent, should you sell your shares or buy more?

Solution as mentioned below:

First of all we need to calculate value of the preferred stock by dividing the annual dividend per share from the market required rate.

Value of preferred stock = 5.50 / 12%

Value of preferred stock = $45.83

Now given the fact that the current price at which the stocks are sold is $39 which is less than the price at which they are actually valued which is $45.83. You should buy more of the shares as they are currently undervalued.
