Hardin Company received $120,000 in cash and a used computer with a fair value of $360,000 from Page Corporation for Hardin Comp

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

$30,000 and $360,000

Explanation:

The computation of the gain on the exchange is shown below:

= Cash received + fair value of the computer - undepreciated cost of existing computer

= $120,000 + $360,000 - $450,000

= $30,000

The amount of the computer which is recorded will equal to the fair value of the computer i.e $360,000

For computing the gain we simply added the fair value and deduct the undepreciated cost of an existing computer in the cash received amount so that the accurate amount can come.

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it

Before Pepsi-Cola stamped freshness dates on its cans, few consumers considered cola freshness an issue. After Pepsi spent about

Vilka [71]

Below are the complete options:

changing beliefs about the extent to which a brand has certain attributes

encouraging the consumer to use stimulus generalization

adding new attributes to the product

encouraging the consumer to use stimulus discrimination

changing the importance of attributes

Answer:

changing the importance of attributes

Explanation:

Freshness dates shows for how long a drink can be considered to not have expired. For example Pepsi can be considered to give freshness from 6-9 months after the date printed on the bottle.

Pepsi spent about $25 million on advertising and promotion related to freshness dates. Initially freshness dates were only seen as important by a few people.

This resulted in 61 percent of cola drinkers now thinking it is important.

This exemplifies how importance of a product's attribute can be changed

Bond Yields and Rates of Return A 30-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of $1,000 may be called in 4 years at a c

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The bond's yield to maturity is 9.45% using Excel to get exact values, and 9.59% using approximate method.

Explanation:

We can calculate is using 2 ways, using Excel to get the exact percentage or with approximate methods, calculating the semi-annual Yield to Maturity using the following formula

$YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}$

And from there we can calculate the Yield to Maturity just by multiplying the semi-annual one by 2.

Identifying the given information.

We have a period of 30 years, so for the semiannual bond we have $n=2(30) = 60$ periods.

The face value, FV, is $1000, the coupon rate is 0.10, thus we can use them to find the interest per period PMT.

$PMT=0.10 \times \cfrac{1000}{2}\\PMT=\$ 50$

The current price of the bond, PV is $1050.

Replacing the values on the semiannual Yield to Maturity

$YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}$

$YTM_{sm}=\cfrac{50+\cfrac{1000-1050}{60}}{\cfrac{1000+1050}{2}}$

Simplifying we get

$YTM_{sm}=4.797\%\\$

Finding the Yield to Maturity.

We can just multiply by 2 to get the Yield to Maturity from our previous result and rounding it to 2 decimals we get

$YTM = 2 YTM_{sm}\\YTM=9.59\%$

Alternatively we can use Excel and write:

RATE(n, PMT, PV, FV)*2

That is

RATE(60,50,1050,1000)*2

And we will get the exact Yield to maturity 9.49%

A $1,000 face value bond is currently quoted at 101.2. the bond pays semiannual payments of $28.50 each and matures in six years

goblinko [34]

Coupon rate is the yearly interest earned by a loan and it can be calculated with

$C = \frac{i}{p}$

where i is the annual interest and p is the par value of the bond or the initial loan amount.

For this particular case, since the semiannual payment is $28.50, then the annual payment is 2 x 28.50 = $57.00.

Thus, we have

$C = \frac{57}{1000} = 0.057$

From this, the coupon rate is 0.057 x 100% = 5.7%.
Answer: 5.7%

A bank buys bonds with a par value of $25 million for $24,040,000. The coupon rate is 10 percent, and the bonds pay annual payme

Ilya [14]

Answer:

$25,891,632.37

Explanation:

The computation of the market value of the bond in two years is given below:

We know that

Market value of the bonds be in two years is

= pv(rate, nper,pmt,fv)

Here

Nper = 2

PV = ?

PMT = 25000000 × 10% = 2500000

FV = 25000000

Rate = 8%

Now

Market value of the bonds be in two years is

= pv( 8%,2,2500000,25000000)

= $25,891,632.37
