We have that the student gains the same reward completing any one of the three programs; thus the program with the least cost is optimal. We have that the first program costs 38.600$. Nevertheless, we need to also account for the lost opportunity, which is 2000$ per month. Thus, instead of going to the program, the student could have saved 38.600$+6*2000$=50.600$. Now for the 12month program, we have similarly 35.000$+12*2000$=59.000$. Finally, for the 15month program, the calculation yields: 28.600$+15*2000$=58.600$. We see that the best program to attend is the 6-month one (lowest total opportunity cost); despite it being the most expensive one, after completing it the student can make up for it by grabbing the other opportunity and making 2000$ per month (in the other programs, the student cannot work for 6 or 9 months more than this program).
Answer:
$76,000
Explanation:
The calculation of the interest expense is shown below:
= Reported amount of cash paid for interest + Decrease in prepaid interest - decrease in accrued interest payable
= $70,000 + $23,000 - $17,000
= $76,000
The decrease in prepaid interest is classified as a current asset and the accrued interest payable is current liabilities and we know that the rise in current assets and a decline in current liabilities are excluded, while the decline in current assets and an increase in current liabilities are included.
Answer:
$441,495
Explanation:
Since the information is incomplete, I looked for the missing part and found the attached information.
the current yield of a 1.5 years zero coupon bond = (100 / 89.9)¹/¹°⁵ - 1 = 0.0736 = 7.36%
the current yield of a 6 months zero coupon bond = (100 / 97.087)¹/⁰°⁵ - 1 = 0.0609 = 6.09%
now to calculate the future interest rate:
(1.0736²/1.0609) - 1 = 0.0865 = 8.65%
since we are told to determine the price of the bond:
(100/P)¹/¹°⁵ - 1 = 0.0865
(100/P)¹/¹°⁵ = 1.0865
100/P = 1.0865¹°⁵
100/P = 1.1325
100/1.1325 = P
P = 88.299
the expected price of the bond = 88.299% x $500,000 = $441,495
