Which of the following statements is false? Multiple Choice Prepaid insurance is a deferred expense. Prepaid insurance represent

inna [77]

Answer:

B. Prepaid insurance is shown on the income statement

Explanation:

Prepaid insurance first and foremost is a current asset and as such will not reflect in the income statement but in the statement of Financial Position or Balance Sheet.

Although, prepaid insurance will be shown as paid within the year, it must be deducted from the insurance premium paid for the current year and then reported in the balance sheet as a current asset.

Prepaid insurance is treated as a current asset because it is an indication of insurance premiums paid for by the company in advance. It is a payment for economic benefits that will be enjoyed in the future, therefore it is a current asset. The only part of an insurance premium that shows in the income statement is the insurance expense paid for insurance benefit enjoyed in the current period

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

A = $698,494.97 is the right answer.

And Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-note’s price is expected to Increase.

Explanation:

A. $698,494.97

B. $593,720.72

C. $838,193.96

D. $440,051.83

Solution:

First we need to see which among the four options is the correct value.

For that we need to find the rate:

Rate = Yield to Maturity/2

Yield to Maturity = 11%

So,

Rate = 11/2

Rate = 5.5%

Now, we need to find the Nper ( Number of periods for the loan)

Nper = 5 x 2 = 10 years.

Nper = 10 years

Now, we need to find PMT which is a financial function used to calculate the amount to be paid for the loan based on constant payments and interest.

PMT = (3%/2) x par value

PMT = (3%/2)x 1,000,000

PMT = 15000

Now, For future value, we have par value.

So,

Par Value = Future Value = FV = 1,000,000

Now, we have to find the PV = Present Value or the price of the bond.

For this we need to use PV function on excel.

Formula:

Price = - PV(Rate, Nper, PMT, FV)

Plugging the values in Excel like this and we get:

Price = -PV (5.5%,10,15000,1000000)

Price = $698,494.97

Hence, A = $698,494.97 is the right answer.

And Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-note’s price is expected to Increase.
