People often have different expectations. If people have rational expectations, the sacrifice ratio could be much smaller than suggested by the short-run Phillips curve is a false a statement.

McCue Inc.'s bonds currently sell for $1,250. They pay a $90 annual coupon, have a 25-year maturity, and a $1,000 par value, but
ratelena [41]

Answer:

YTM = 6.88%.

YTC = 4.26%.

Explanation:

a. Calculation of Yield to Maturity (YTM)

The bond's Yield to Maturity can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)

Where;

YTM = yield to maturity = ?

nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity = 25

pmt = annual coupon payment = $90 = 90

pv = present value = current bond price = $1,250 = 1250

fv = face value or par value of the bond = 1000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

YTM = RATE(25,90,-1250,1000) ............ (2)

Inputting =RATE(25,90,-1250,1000) into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 6.88%.

Therefore, YTM is 6.88%.

b. Calculation of Yield to Call (YTC)

The bond's Yield to call can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTC = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .....................(3)

Where;

YTM = yield to call = ?

nper = number of periods = number of years to call = 5

pmt = annual coupon payment = $90 = 90

pv = present value = current bond price = $1,250 = 1250

fv = future value of the bond or the amount at which the bond can be called = $1,050 = 1050

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

YTM = RATE(5,90,-1250,1050) ............ (4)

Inputting =RATE(5,90,-1250,1050) into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTC is obtained as 4.26%.

Therefore, YTC is 4.26%.

The accountant at Novak Corp. is figuring out the difference in income taxes the company will pay depending on the choice of eit
Serhud [2]

Answer:

$459

Explanation:

Computation of the given data are as follows:

Tax rate = 30%

Income before taxes (FIFO method) = $21,330

So, tax amount = $21,330 × 30%

= $6,399

Income before taxes (LIFO method) = $19,800

So, tax amount = $19,800 × 30%

= $5,940

So, we can calculate the difference in taxes by using following formula:

Difference in Tax = $6,399 - $5,940

= $459

A company is considering the purchase of a new machine for $48,000. Management expects that the machine can produce sales of $16
joja [24]

Explanation & answer:

Cash basis, so all monies retain same values over the years.

Let x = payback period in years

Salvage value of machine

= 48000 - 4000x

Sales

= 16000x

Total revenue after x years

R = 16000x

Expenditures over x years

C = Cost of machine + materials + depreciation

= 48000 + 8000x + 4000x

= 48000 + 12000x

For payback

R = C

16000x = 48000 +12000x

Solve for x

x = 48000/4000 = 12 years

By that time, the machine has no more salvage value.
