Explanation:
a. What stock price is expected 1 year from now?
This will be calculated as:
= P0 × (1 + g)
where,
P0 = $40
g = growth rate = 7%
= P0 × (1 + g)
= 40 × (1 + 7%)
= 40 × (1 + 0.07)
= 40 × 1.07
= $42.80
b. What is the required rate of return?
This will be:
= (D1 / P0) + g
where D1 = D0 × (1+g) = 1.75 × (1+0.07) = 1.75 × 1.07 = 1.8725
= (D1 / P0) + g
= (1.8725 / 40) + 0.07
= 0.1168
= 11.68%
Answer:
a. Premium
b. Discount
c. Discount
Explanation:
a. Valley issued $300,000 of bonds with a stated interest rate of 7 percent. At the time of issue, the market rate of interest for similar investments was 6 percent.
Premium (discount) = Bond's stated interest rate - Market rate of interest for similar investments = 7% - 6% = 1% premium
Therefore, Valley's bond will sell at a premium.
b. Spring issued $220,000 of bonds with a stated interest rate of 5 percent. At the time of issue, the market rate of interest for similar investments was 6 percent.
Premium (discount) = Bond's stated interest rate - Market rate of interest for similar investments = 5% - 6% = -1% discount
Therefore, Spring's bond will sell at a discount.
c. River Inc. issued $150,000 of callable bonds with a stated interest rate of 5 percent. The bonds were callable at 102. At the date of issue, the market rate of interest was 6 percent for similar investments.
Premium (discount) = Bond's stated interest rate - Market rate of interest for similar investments = 5% - 6% = -1% discount
Therefore, River Inc.'s bond will sell at a discount.
Answer:
$60,000
Explanation:
Since Bailey Co. changed their accounting for insurance expense from the cash-basis to the accrual-basis in the current year, and in January of the prior year, Bailey recorded insurance expense of $240,000 for the cash purchase of a four-year insurance policy.
Bailey should report the insurance transaction in the current year's financial statements of an amortization of the insurance expense over the four year period, and take account the portion that pertains to the current year.
Therefore = $240,000 / 4 years = $60,000 per year
