The 6.3 percent, semi-annual coupon bonds of PE Engineers mature in 13 years and have a price quote of 99.2. These bonds have a current yield of ________ percent, a yield to maturity of ________ percent, and an effective annual yield of ________ percent.
Answer:
Current yield is 6.35%
YTM is 6.40%
Effective annual yield is 6.50%
Explanation:
Current yield =coupon amount/price=6.3%*$1000/$1000*99.2%=6.35%
Yield to maturity can be computed using excel rate formula as below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of coupon payments of the bond which is 13*2
pmt is the annual coupon=6.3%*$1000=$63/2=$31.5
pv is the current price=99.2%*$1000=$992
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(13*2,31.5,-992,1000)=3.20%
Semiannual yield =3.20%
annual yield=3.20%*2=6.40%
effective annual yield=(1+YTM/2)^2-1
effective annual yield=(1+6.40%/2)^2-1=6.50%

The phone bill for a corporation consists of both fixed and variable costs. Refer to the fourminusmonth data below and apply the highminuslow method to answer the question. Minutes Total Bill January 470 $ 4 comma 500 February 200 $ 2 comma 695 March 180 $ 2 comma 650 April 320 $ 2 comma 830 If the company uses 390 minutes in May, how much will the total bill be? (Round any intermediate calculations to the nearest cent and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Total cost= $3,989.65
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Minutes Total Bill
January 470 $4,500
February 200 $2,695
March 180 $2,650
April 320 $2,830
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost and fixed costs:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,500 - 2,650) / (470 - 180)
Variable cost per unit= $6.37931
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 4,500 - (6.37931*470)
Fixed costs= $1,501.72
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,650 - (6.37931*180)
Fixed costs= $1,501.72
If the company uses 390 minutes in May:
Total cost= 1,501.72 + 6.37931*390
Total cost= $3,989.65

Pitchfork, Inc. is preparing its 2020 financial statements. The company's accountant calculated Income from Continuing Operations to be $1,700,000, but upon further review is not certain this number is accurate. Pitchfork has a corporate income tax rate of 30%. Additionally, the company reports only one year of financial data on the face of the financial statements. All amounts listed are pretax unless otherwise noted. After reviewing the following information, determine the appropriate adjustments, if any, to Income from Continuing Operations. Once you have determined the CORRECT Income from Continuing Operations, complete the remainder of the Income Statement for reporting EPS.
1. On January 1, 2017, Pitchfork purchased a machine for $180,000 with a salvage value of $20,000 and useful life of eight years which was depreciated using the straight-line method. During 2020, Pitchfork decided to change to double-declining-balance method. The $1,700,000 Income from Continuing Operations had already been calculated using the straight-line depreciation method.
Determine the correct ADJUSTMENT to Income from Continuing Operations (ICO) for Depreciation Expense in 2020.
Adjustment for Depreciation Expense (2020):___________
Continuing with the information presented in #1 above, Pitchfork has ICO of $1,700,000 and a corporate tax rate of 30%. Determine if ICO should be adjusted based on the following information:
2. Pitchfork had an unrealized loss from foreign currency translation adjustments of $120,000 (pretax) that was included in calculating the $1,700,000 income from continuing operations.

3. During 2020, Pitchfork closed one of its stores for a pre-tax loss of $150,000. This store closure did not qualify as a component of the entity, nor did it create a strategic shift in the operations of the entity. Therefore, it should not be treated as Discontinued Operations. The $150,000 restructuring charges were excluded in determining the $1,700,000 income from continuing operations.
To correct I.C.O., the Adjustment for Restructuring Charges would be $ _________
Continuing with the information presented in #1 above, Pitchfork has Income from Continuing Operations (ICO) of $1,700,000 and a corporate tax rate of 30%. Determine if ICO should be adjusted based on the following information:

The Sunland Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $80 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $5,400 per month
Utilities $1,200 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $2,140 per month
Maid service $19 per room
Other costs $37 per room
Required:
a. Determine the inn's break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
b. Determine the inn's break-even point in dollars.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $80 a night.
Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $5,400 per month
Utilities $1,200 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $2,140 per month
Maid service $19 per room
Other costs $37 per room
We won't take into account the depreciation expense because it is not a cash disbursement.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Fixed costs= 5,400 + 1,200 + 2,140= $8,740
Variable cost= 19 + 37= $56
Break-even point in units= 8,740 / (80 - 56)
Break-even point in units= 364 rented rooms
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 8,740 / (24/80)
Break-even point (dollars)= $29,133

If the price of chocolate-covered peanuts decreases from $1.15 to $0.90, the quantity demanded does not change, and other things are unchanged, the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand, using the midpoint method, is:
Answer:
price-elasticity = 0
Explanation:
The formula for mid-point elasticity will be as follows:
[tex]\frac{q_1-q_2}{\frac{q_1+q_2}{2}} \div\frac{p_1-p_2}{\frac{p_1+p_2}{2}}[/tex]
Now, as quantity did not change we get:
q1 = q2
thus q1 + q2 = 2q1
and q1 - q2 = 0
[tex]\frac{0}{\frac{2q_1}{2}} \div\frac{1.15-0.90}{\frac{1.15+0.90}{2}}[/tex]
As we are getting a zero the end result will be zero which makes complete sense as there was no change in quantity the demand is completely inelastic.

On January 2, 2015, Vaughn Corporation issued $1,650,000 of 10% bonds at 96 due December 31, 2024. Interest on the bonds is payable annually each December 31. The discount on the bonds is also being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10 years. (Straight-line is not materially different in effect from the preferable "interest method".) The bonds are callable at 102 (i.e., at 102% of face amount), and on January 2, 2017, Vaughn called $1,140,000 face amount of the bonds and redeemed them. Ignoring income taxes.
Required:
Compute the amount of loss, if any, to be recognized by Vaughn as a result of retiring the $1,140,000 of bonds in 2017
Answer:
$59,280
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Bond issue price = $1,650,000 * 0.96 = $1,584,000
Discount on bonds payable = $1,650,000 - $1,584,000 = $66,000
Annual amortization of discount on bonds payable = $66,000 / 10 = 6,600
Bond carrying value on January 2, 2017 = Bond issue price + (Annual discount on bonds payable * Number of years) = $1,584,000 + ($6,600 * 2) = $1,597,200
Value of $1,140,000 of bonds = ($1,597,200 / $1,650,000) * $1,140,000 = $1,103,520
Loss on recognized on redemption = ($1,140,000 * 102%) - $1,103,520 = $59,280

The bank statement dated October 31, 2018 would report a balance of: (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $29337.32
Explanation:
The following can be reduced from the question:
Balance as per company's ledger = $20,419.93
Add the outstanding checks= $8912.25
Add interest = $27.14
Less the fee charged by the bank = $22.00
The bank statement dated October 31, 2018 would report a balance of:
=($20,419.93 + $8912.25 + $27.14) - $22.00
= $29337.32
The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $800,000 in a fixed asset with a useful life of four years, straight-line depreciation, no residual value, and an expected total net income of $360,000 for the four years is
Answer:
22.5%
Explanation:
For computation of return on investment first we need to find out the average investment and average income per year which is shown below:-
Average investment = Proposed investment ÷ Average
= $800,000 ÷ 2
= $400,000
Now, the Average income per year = Expected total net income ÷ Number of year
= $360,000 ÷ 4
= $90,000
Return on investment = Average income per year ÷ Average investment
= $90,000 ÷ $400,000
= 0.225
or
= 22.5%

Dec 31, 2021 Interest expense 44,412,222
Discount on bonds payable 412,222
Cash 44,000,000
(To record payment of semi-annual interest)
4. The amount that Federal will report for the bonds among its liabilities in the December 31, 2021, balance sheet is $740,615,924
Explanation:
1. Discount on bonds payable = $800 million - $739,814,813 = $60,185,187
2. Cash paid = Face value × stated interest × interest time period
= $800,000,000 × 11% × 0.5
= $44,000,000
Interest expense = price of bonds × market interest rate × interest time period
= $739,814,813 × 12% × 0.5
= $44,388,889
Discount on bonds payable = $44,388,889 - $44,000,000 = $388,889
3. Cash paid = Face value × stated interest × interest time period
= $800,000,000 × 11% × 0.5
= $44,000,000
Interest expense = price of bonds × market interest rate × interest time period
= ($739,814,813 + $388,889) × 12% × 0.5
= $ 44,412,222
Discount on bonds payable = $44,412,222 - $44,000,000 = $412,222
4. Long term liabilities = Bonds payable + Discount on bonds payable June 30 + Discount on bonds payable December 31
= $739,814,813 + $388,889 + $412,222
= $740,615,924
You’ve borrowed $23,072 on margin to buy shares in Ixnay, which is now selling at $41.2 per share. You invest 1,120 shares. Your account starts at the initial margin requirement of 50%. The maintenance margin is 35%. Two days later, the stock price changes to $41 per share.
a) Will you receive a margin call?b) How low can the price of Disney shares fall before you receive a margin call?
Answer:
(a) Since the percentage margin is more than maintenance margin, there would be no call
(b) A margin call would be received when the price is $15.26
Explanation:
(a) Total investment = $23,072 × [tex]\frac{100}{50}[/tex] = $46,144
Total shares = Total investment ÷ share price
= $46,144 ÷ $41.2 = 1,120
Value of share in market = new price × number of shares
= $41 × 1,120
= $45,920
Value of equity = Value of share in the market - borrowed cash
= $45,920 - $23,072
= $22,848
Percentage margin = Value of equity ÷ Value of shares
= ($22,848 ÷ $45,920) × 100%
= 49.76%
(b) Total number of shares = 1,120
Assumed value of shares = $1,120X
Borrowed fund = $23,072
Value of equity = $1,120X - $23,072
Margin = Value of equity ÷ Value of shares
0.35 = ($1,120X - $23,072) ÷ $1,120X
392X = $1,120X - $23,072
1512X = $23,072
X = $15.26
The following data apply to Elizabeth's Electrical Equipment: Value of operations $20,000 Short-term investments $1,000 Debt $6,000 Number of shares 300 The company plans on distributing $1,000 by repurchasing stock. What will the intrinsic per share stock price be immediately after the repurchase? Notes: With some combinations of variables, the residual policy may result in zero dividends and a zero payout ratio. These outcomes are noted in the topic [TOP] field if applicable.
Answer:
$50
Explanation:
Elizabeth's Electrical Equipment
Total Assets will be :
Value of operations of 20,000+ Short term investments of 1000
=$21,000
Debt = $6000
Hence:
Equity will be :
Assets - Debt
= $21,000-$6,000
Which will give us = $15,000
Number of shares which are outstanding
= 300
$15,000/300
=$50
Therefore the Intrinsic value per share will be $50 immediately after the repurchase has occured.

c. a comparative advantage with com.
A Moving to another question will save this response
Answer:
. a comparative advantage with com.
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other countries.
If it is easier for Canada to produce Com, it means they have a comparative advantage in the production of com. Costa Rica has a comparative advantage in the production of coffee.

Cash flows of two mutually exclusive projects are as follows. Project A costs $80,000 initially and will have a $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $30,000 per year. Project B has initial cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8,000 per year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. Assume the interest rate is 10% per year. Which of the following statements is true?A. Two projects have different life cycleB. Project A should be selected.C. The present worth of project A is -$143,252.17.D. The present worth of project B is -$109,842.22.
Answer:
C. The present worth of project A is -$143,252.17
Explanation:
Present worth can be calculated using a financial calculator
For method A ,
Cash flow in year 0 = $80,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $30,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $30,000 - $15,000 = $15,000
I = 10%
Present worth= $ 143,335.84
For method B,
Cash flow in year 0 = $120,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $8, 000
Cash flow in year 3 = $8,000 - $40,000 = $-32,000
I = 10%
Present worth = $130,157.78
Method b would is chosen because it worth less.
To find the present worth using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Calculate the times interest earned ratio using the financial statement data shown below. Current liabilities $185 Income before interest and taxes $170 10% Bonds, long-term 360 Interest expense 36 Total liabilities 545 Income before tax 134 Stockholders' equity Income tax 29 Common stock 222 Net income $105 Retained earnings 289 Total stockholders' equity 511 Total liabilities and equity $1,056HHF's times interest earned ratio is:______.a. 10.00.b. 3.14.c. 1.54.d. 2.14.Current liabilities $180 Income before interest and taxes $11810% Bonds, long-term 360 Interest expense 36Total liabilities 540 Income before tax 82Shareholders' equity Income tax 20Capital stock 201 Net income $62Retained earnings 283Total shareholders'equity 484Total liabilities and equity $1,024HHF's debt to equity ratio is:________.a. 0.74.b. 0.56.c. 1.12.d. 1.90.
Answer:
1. Times interest earned ratio is 4.72
2. Debt to equity ratio is 1.12. Option C
Explanation:
Current liabilities = $185
Income before interest and taxes = $170
10% Bonds, long-term = $360
Interest expense = $36
Total liabilities = $545
Income before tax = $134
Stockholders' equity Income tax = $29
Common stock = $222
Net income = $105
Retained earnings = $289
Total stockholders' equity = $511
Total liabilities and equity = $1,056
1. Times interest earned ratio = Earnings before interest and taxes/Interest expenses
= $170 ÷ $36
= 4.72
Current liabilities = $180
Income before interest and taxes = $118
10% Bonds, long-term = $360
Interest expense = $36
Total liabilities = $540
Income before tax = $82
Shareholders' equity Income tax = $20
Capital stock 201 Net income = $62
Retained earnings = $283
Total shareholders'equity = $484
Total liabilities and equity = $1,024
2. Debt to equity ratio = Total debt ÷ Total equity
= 540 ÷ 484
= 1.12
g A stock will issue a dividend of $20 one year from today. Dividends will shrink by 3% per year for the next two years after that, and then remain constant forever. Find the current price of one share of this stock, given an effective annual rate of 6%.
Answer:
Current price = $341.943
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
PV dividend in year 1 = 20 × 1.03^(-1)= 19.41747573
PV of dividend in year 2 = 97%× 20 × 1,03^(-2)= 18.28636064
PV of dividend in year 3 = 97%× 97%× 20× 1.03^(-3) = 17.22113575
PV of dividend from year 4 and beyond
This will be done in two steps
PV (in year 3 terms
(97%× 97%× 20× 1.03^(-3))/0.06 =313.6333333
PV in year o terms
PV = A/r
A= 313.63, r = 6%
313.63× 1.03^(-3)= 287.0189291
Price of stock = 19.41 +18.28 + 17.221 + 17.221= 341.943
Current price = $341.943
