Akers Company sold bonds on July 1, 2017, with a face value of $100,000. These bonds are due in 10 years. The stated annual interest rate is 6% per year, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. These bonds were sold to yield 8%. By July 1, 2018, the market yield on these bonds had risen to 10%.

Required:
What was the bonds' market price on July 1, 2018?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Price of bond= $75,075.58  

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).  

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV  

The value of the bond for Akers Company  can be worked out as follows:  

Step 1  

PV of interest payments  

Semi annul interest payment  

= 6% × 100,000 × 1/2 = 3000

Semi-annual yield = 10%/2 =  5% per six months  

Total period to maturity (in months)  

= (2 × 10) = 20 periods

PV of interest =  

3000  × (1- (1+0.05)^( -20)/) 0.05 =  37,386.63  

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value  

= 100,000 × (1.05)^(-20) =  37,688.95  

Price of bond  

Price of bond =  37,386.63   + 37,688.95   =  75,075.58  

Price of bond= $75,075.58

Eleanor spends all of her money on magazines and donuts. In 2014, she earned $14.00 per hour, the price of a magazine was $7.00, and the price of a donut was $1.00.
Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable?
A. Eleanor's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2014.
B. The price of a donut is $1.00 in 2014.
C. Eleanor's wage is 2 magazines per hour in 2014.
Which of the following give the real value of a variable?
A. Eleanor's wage is 14 donuts per hour in 2014.
B. The price of a magazine is 7 donuts in 2014.
C. Eleanor's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2014.
Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2014 and 2019. In 2019, Eleanor's wage has risen to $28.00 per hour. The price of a magazine is $14.00 and the price of a donut is $2.00.
In 2019, the relative price of a magazine is ________.
Between 2014 and 2019, the nominal value of Eleanor's wage ______, and the real value of her wage _________.
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply nominal variables and _______ real variables.

Answers

Answer;

1. A. Eleanor's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2014.

B. The price of a donut is $1.00 in 2014.

When a variable is stated in nominal terms, it is usually given as a fixed monetary value because it is not adjusted for inflation. It therefore mentions just the price as is.

2. A. Eleanor's wage is 14 donuts per hour in 2014.

B. The price of a magazine is 7 donuts in 2014.

When goods are described in real terms, they are related to another good in order to adjust them for inflation.

3. The price of a magazine is $14.00 and the price of a donut is $2.00.

In 2019, the relative price of a magazine is 7 donuts.

The relative price = Price of Magazine/ Price of donuts

= 14/2

= 7 donuts.

4.  Between 2014 and 2019, the nominal value of Eleanor's wage increases, and the real value of her wage remains the same.

As a result of the increase in money supply, Eleanor's wages increased nominally from $14 to $28.

However, in real terms her wages did not increase at all because the price level in the economy increased by the same rate that her wages increased meaning that she is still only able to buy the same quantity of things.

5. Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply affects nominal variables and does not affect real variables.

From Eleanor's example above, the concept of Money Neutrality is shown in that while a change in money supply will affect nominal variables, it will not affect real variables due to a general rise in prices.

The input​ instructions, phrases in parenthesis after each answer​ box, only apply for the answers you will type. a. What is the expected return of asset​ A?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of expected return of each​ assets is shown below:-

Expected Return on Asset A in state is

= 0.39 × 0.02 + 0.45 × 0.02 + 0.16 × 0.02

= 0.02

Expected Return on Asset B in state is

= 0.39 × 0.25 + 0.45 × 0.06 + 0.16 × -0.04

= 0.1181

Expected Return on Asset C in state is

= 0.39 × 0.35 + 0.45 × 0.19 + 0.16 × -0.22

= 0.1868

b. The computation of variance of each asset is shown below:-

Variance of Assets A is

= 0.39 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.45 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.16 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2

= 0

Variance of Assets B is

= 0.39 × (0.25 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.45 × (0.06 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.04 - 0.1181)^2

= 0.0123

Variance of Assets C is

= 0.0369

c. The computation of standard deviation of each​ asset is shown below:-

Standard Deviation of A is

= (0.39 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.45 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.16 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2)^0.5

= 0

Standard Deviation of B is

= (0.39 × (0.25 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.45 × (0.06 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.04 - 0.1181)^2)^0.5

= 0.1109

Standard Deviation of C is

Answer this question on the basis of the given information for an economy in 2016.
Dollar value of resource extraction activity = $20 billion
Dollar value of production activity = $50 billion
Dollar value of distribution activity = $80 billion
Dollar value of final output = $110 billion
Suppose that in 2017, the dollar value of distribution activity fell to $70 billion, but the other values remained the same. Based on this, we could conclude that from 2016 to 2017,
A. neither GO nor GDP were affected by the change in distribution activity.
B. GO fell by $10 billion, while GDP was unchanged.
C. GDP fell by $10 billion, while GO was unchanged.
D. GO and GDP both fell by $10 billion.

Answers

Answer: B. GO fell by $10 billion, while GDP was unchanged.

Explanation;

Gross Output is different from GDP in that where GDP only takes into account the dollar value of the final output so as to avoid double counting, the Gross Output takes into account those intermediate expenses and consumption that were used to create the final goods and services.

As such, if the dollar value of distribution activity fell to $70 billion then the Gross Ouput would also have to fall by the equivalent amount which in this case would be $10 million.

As all other values did not change, then neither did the dollar value of final output meaning that GDP did not change.

Daytripper: 2,000 backpacks
Excursion: 1.200 backpacks
If total budgeted revenue for the period is $250,000 and the sales price for Daytripper backpacks is $50, what is the budgeted sales price for Excursion backpacks?
a. $ 78.
b. $125.
c. $5130.
d. $158.
e. none of the above.

Answers

Answer:

the budgeted sales price for Excursion backpacks is b. $125.

Explanation:

Total Budgeted Revenue = Daytripper Budgeted Revenue + Excursion Budgeted Revenue

Therefore,

Let the budgeted sales price for Excursion backpacks be $y

$250,000 = 2,000 ×  $50 + 1.200 × $y

$150,000 = $1,200 y

$125 = y

Therefore, the budgeted sales price for Excursion backpacks is $125.

The Andrews Company has just purchased $55,736,000 of plant and equipment that has an estimated useful life of 15 years. The expected salvage value at the end of 15 years is $5,573,600. What will the book value of this purchase (exclude all other plant and equipment) be after its third year of use? (Use FASB GAAP)

Answers

Answer:

Book value = $45,703,520

Explanation:

We can calculate the book value of purchase after its third year of use by deducting all three years of depreciation from the cost of the asset.

DATA

Purchase cost = $55,736,000

Useful life = 15 years

Salvage value = $5,573,600

Solution

Book value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Book value = $55,736,000 - $10,032,480(w)

Book value = $45,703,520

Working

Depreciation per year = [tex]\frac{Cost-salvagevalue}{life}[/tex]

Depreciation per year = [tex]\frac{55,736,000-5,573,600}{15}[/tex]

Depreciation per year =  $3,344,160

Depreciation for 3 years = $3,344,160 x 3

Depreciation for 3 years = $10,032,480

Three years accumulated depreciation for three years would be $10,032,480

You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 14 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 5.1 percent. Assume semiannual compounding periods. What is the price of the bond

Answers

Answer:

Bond Price = $4940.8468 rounded off to $4940.85

Explanation:

The price of a zero coupon bond is simply calculated by calculating the present value of the face value of the bond that the bond pays at maturity. The formula for the price of a zero coupon bond is,

Bond Price = Face Value / ( 1 + r )^n

Where,

r is the rate or YTM n is the number of periods left to maturity

Assuming that the r or YTM is always stated in annual terms, the semi annual YTM will be 5.1% / 2 = 2.55%

Assuming semi annual compounding periods, the total number of periods or n will be,

n = 14 * 2 = 28

Bond Price = 10000 / (1 + 0.0255)^28

Bond Price = $4940.8468 rounded off to $4940.85

Green Thumb Garden Tools Inc. produces and sells home and garden tools and equipment. A lawnmower has a total cost of $230 per unit, of which $160 is product cost and $70 is selling and administrative expenses. In addition, the total cost of $230 is made up of $120 variable cost and $110 fixed cost. The desired profit is $58 per unit. Determine the markup percentage on product cost.

Answers

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

The computation of markup percentage on product cost is shown below:-

Markup percentage on product cost = ((Selling and administrative expenses + Desired profit) ÷ Product cost) × 100

= (($70 + $58) ÷ $160) × 100

= 0.8

or

= 80%

Therefore for computing the markup percentage on product cost we simply applied the above formula.

TB MC Qu. 6-70 Awtis Corporation has a margin of ... Awtis Corporation has a margin of safety percentage of 25% based on its actual sales. The break-even point is $213,600 and the variable expenses are 45% of sales. Given this information, the actual profit is:

Answers

Answer:

$39,160

Explanation:

Awtis corporation has a margin of safety percentage of 25%

= 25/100

= 0.25

The break even point is $213,600

The variable expenses is 45%

= 45/100

= 0.45

The first step is to calculate the contribution margin ratio

Contribution margin ratio= 1-variable expenses

= 1-0.45

= 0.55

The fixed expenses can be calculated as follows

Fixed expenses= break even sales × contribution margin ratio

= $213,600×0.55

= 117,480

The total actual sales can be calculated as follows

= Break even sales/(1-margin of safety)

= $213,600/(1-0.25)

= $213,600/0.75

= $284,800

Therefore, the actual profit can be calculated as follows

Actual profit= Contribution margin ratio×sales - fixed expenses

= 0.55×284,800-$117,480

= $156,640-$117,480

= $39,160

Hence the actual profit is $39,160

Suppose we have the following scenario: Multiplier: 1.2 Tax Rate: 16% Increase in spending: $175 Billion Total Deficit in the previous year: $1 Trillion Based on the information provided what is the deficit that arises from the increase in spending from the government

Answers

Answer:

Deficit = $141.4 billion

Explanation:

Multiplier (K) = ΔY {GDP(income)} / ΔI {Govt spending}

ΔY = K * ΔI

ΔY = 1.2 * $175 billion

ΔY = $210 billion (income)

Tax applicable on income that generate revenue:

Revenue = 210 billion * 16%

Revenue = 210 billion * 0.16

Revenue = $33.6 billion

Deficit = Government spending - Revenue

Deficit = $175 billion - $33.6 billion

Deficit = $141.4 billion

A firm recently issued $1,000 par value, 15-year bonds with a coupon rate of 9%. Coupon interest payments will be paid semi-annually. The bonds sold at par value, but the firm paid flotation costs amounting to 5% of par value. The firm has a corporate tax rate of 21%. What is the firm's after-tax cost of debt for these bonds?

Answers

Answer:

The firm's after cost of debt is 7.48%

Explanation:

Floatation cost increases the cost because a diminished portion of the whole amount was received.

Given that;

r = 9%

t = 21%

f = 5%

After tax cost of debt = r ( 1 - t ) / ( 1 - f )

0.09 ( 1 - 0.21 ) / 1 - 0.05 )

= 0.0711 / 0.95

Starset, Inc., has a target debt-equity ratio of 1.15. Its WACC is 8.6 percent, and the tax rate is 21 percent.

Required:
a. If the company's cost of equity is 14 percent, what is its pretax cost of debt?
b. If instead you know that the aftertax cost of debt is 6.1 percent, what is the cost of equity?

Answers

Answer:

a. 4.94%

b. 11.48%

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the pretax cost of debt and cost of equity.

We proceed as follows;

a. From the question;

The debt equity ratio = 1.15

since Equity = 1 ; Then

Total debt + Total equity = 1 + 1.15 = 2.15

Mathematically ;

WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Pretax Cost of debt x Weight of debt x (1-Tax rate)

Where WACC = 8.6%

Cost of equity = 14%

Weight of equity = 1/(total debt + total equity) = 1/(1+1.15) = 1/2.15

Pretax cost of debt = ?

Weight of debt = debt equity ratio/total cost of debt = 1.15/2.15

Tax rate = 21% = 0.21

Substituting these values, we have;

8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)

8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)

Pretax cost debt = (8.6%-6.511628%)/(1.15/2.15 x (1-21%))

Pretax cost of debt = 4.94%

b. WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + After tax Cost of debt x Weight of debt

8.6% = Cost of equity x 1/2.15 + 6.1% x 1.15/2.15

Cost of equity = (8.6%-3.26279%)/(1/2.15)

Cost of equity = 11.48%
