Bond X is a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond pays a coupon rate of 11 percent, has a YTM of 9 percent, and has 11 years to maturity. Bond Y is a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond pays a coupon rate of 9 percent, has a YTM of 11 percent, and also has 11 years to maturity. The bonds have a $1,000 par value. What is the price of each bond today
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the price of each bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond X:
Coupon= (0.11/2)*1,000= $55
YTM= 0.09/2= 0.045
Years to maturiy= 11 years
Bond Price= 55*{[1 - (1.045^-11)] / 0.045} + [1,000/(1.045^11)]
Bond Price= 469.1 + 616.2
Bond Price= $1,085.3
Bond Y:
Coupon= (0.09/2)*1,000= $45
YTM= 0.11/2= 0.055
Years to maturiy= 11 years
Bond Price= 45*{[1 - (1.055^-11)] / 0.055} + [1,000/(1.045^11)]5
Bond Price= 364.16 + 554.91
Bond price= $919.07
If a company purchases equipment costing $4,500 on credit, the effect on the accounting equation would be: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. Liabilities decrease $4,500 and assets increase $4,500. Equity decreases $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500. Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.
Answer: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, since the company buys an equipment which is an asset to the company, then there will be an increase in the assets by $4500.
Also, in thus case, the equipment was gotten on credit which is a liability. Therefore, the liabilities will increase by $4500 as well.
Truck-Or-Treat specializes in leasing trucks to delivery companies. It is considering adding 25 more trucks to its available stock. Doing so will not change the risk of the company's business. The trucks depreciate over five years under the straight-line depreciation method, all the way to zero. Truck-Or-Treat believes that these newly added trucks would be able to bring the company $220,000 in annual earnings before taxes and depreciation (i.e., sales revenue minus costs of goods sold) for five years. The company is unlevered. It is in 21 percent tax rate bracket. The required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity is 15 percent. The risk-free rate, e.g., the Treasury bill rate, is 6 percent per year.
Required:
Calculate the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company. (In other words, what should be the "initial investment" of this unlevered truck project such that the project's NPV equals $0?
Answer:
The maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.
Explanation:
Let:
x = Maximum price for the new truck = initial investment = ?
AEBTD = Annual earnings before taxes and depreciation = $220,000
T = Tax rate = 21%, or 0.21
n = Number of years = 5
Since the it is assumed that Truck-or-Treat remains an unlevered company, this implies the required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity of 15 percent is the relevant rate of return to use.
Therefore, we have:
r = required annual rate of return = 15%, or 0.15
D = Annual depreciation = Maximum price for the new truck / Number of useful years = x / 5 = 0.2x
P = Annual cash flow = ((AEDTD - D) * (1 - T)) + D = ((220000 - 0.2x) * (1 - 0.21)) + 0.2x = ((220000 - 0.2x) * 0.79) + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.158x + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.042x
Using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity, we have:
PVP = Present value of annual cash flow = P * ((1 - (1/(1 + r))^n) / r) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * ((1 - (1/(1 + 0.15))^5) / 0.15) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * 3.3521550980114 = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x
For the NPV of this unlevered truck project to be equal to $0, we must have:
x = PVP
That is:
x = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x
Solving for x, we have:
x + 0.140790514116479x = 582,604.56
x(1 + 0.140790514116479) = 582,604.56
x1.140790514116479 = 582,604.56
x = 582,604.56 / 1.140790514116479 = $510,702.49
Therefore, the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.
A physical count of merchandise inventory on November 30 reveals that there are 96 units on hand. Cost of goods sold (rounded) under FIFO is
Answer: $1,712
Explanation:
If the company uses FIFO it means that they sell their earlier inventory first. If there are 96 units on hand, it means that these 96 units would be the latest inventory.
That means that these 96 units comprise of:
86 units purchased on November 25 at $6.30 each and,10 units from the November 17 purchase of 58 units at $6.05 each which means 48 units were sold from this purchase.The units sold were therefore:
= (29 * 5.80) + (115 * 6.20) + (48 * 6.05)
= 168.20 + 713 + 290.40
= $1,171.60
= $1,712
Vaughn, Inc. uses the dollar-value LIFO method of computing its inventory. Data for the past 3 years follow. Year Ended December 31 Inventory at Current-Year Cost Price Index 2019 $20,000 100 2020 22,464 108 2021 26,334 114 Compute the value of the 2020 and 2021 inventories using the dollar-value LIFO method.
Answer:
Year Ended December 31 Inventory at Current-Year Cost Price Index
2019 $20,000 100
2020 $22,464 108
2021 $26,334 114
Inventory at base year prices:
2020 = $20,800
2021 = $23,100
Change from prior yer:
2020 = $800
2021 = $2,300
Dollar value:
2020 = $20,000 + ($800 x 1.08) = $20,864
2021 = $20,864 + (2,300 x 1.14) = $23,486
The controller of Sandhill Industries has collected the following monthly expense data for use in analyzing the cost behavior of maintenance costs. Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours January $2,880 3,820 February 3,273 4,364 March 3,928 6,546 April 4,632 8,619 May 3,491 5,455 June 4,844 8,730 (a1) Determine the variable-cost components using the high-low method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places e.g. 2.25.)
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours
January $2,880 3,820
February 3,273 4,364
March 3,928 6,546
April 4,632 8,619

Suppose that Raphael, an economist from an AM talk radio program, and Susan, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing Over saving incentives. The following dialogue Shows an excerpt from their debate:
Susan: I think it's safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain an improvement in living standards.
Raphael: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards.
Susan: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference? Because I don't.
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to_____________ . Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
a. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
b. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
c. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.
Answer:
a. Difference in values
b. a. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
Explanation:
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to difference in values.
Economists are known to disagree a lot with each other and this is down to them having different values and perspectives with regards to several economic decisions. This is why there are different economic theories subscribed to by economists such as Keynesian and New Classical theories.
Despite these disagreements however, there are certain things they would always agree on and one of those is that rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
The logic behind this is that imposing a rent ceiling would dissuade real estate investors from putting in more money to develop properties because the rent ceiling would limit the returns that they can get.
Supply of real estate would also fall because less investors would go into the market because they would fear being unable to recoup adequate returns on account of the rent ceiling.

Compnay #2:
Kiran owns a medium-sized printing business. She owns three one-color (black) printers and needs a color printer for volume print production. She wants to keep the operating expenses related to the color printer low, so she should ____________ a color printer.
Answer:
Company 1 : Lease new jets.
Company 2 : Buy a color printer.
Explanation:
Lease and buy are both options available to a business for acquiring an equipment. Lease option is best suited to company 1 where the demand for private jet charter has increased in summer. The demand will not remain constant in other seasons so leasing the jets for summer season is best and less costly than buying them.
For company 2, it is better to purchase color printer rather than leasing it as the demand for volume print stays throughout the year and she wants to keep her cost at minimum. Leasing the printer will be an additional monthly expense while buying the printer is one time expense.

Compute the break even point in dollar sales for 2019 ( Round your answers to 2 decimal places . )
Answer: $682,727.27
Explanation:
Sales price is given as $36.80 per pair and variable costs are $27.60 per pair.
Break Even Point in dollars = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio
Fixed costs = Old fixed costs + increase
= 232,500 + 143,000
= $375,500
Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost
Variable costs are to reduce by 40%:
= 36.80 - (27.60 * (1 - 40%))
= $20.24
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Selling price
= 20.24 / 36.80
= 55%
Break Even Point in dollars = 375,500 / 55%
= $682,727.27
Decide if the following probability is classical, empirical, or subjective.
You calculate that the probability of randomly choosing a student who is right-handed is about 54%.
Answer:
Classical probability
Explanation:
Classical probability is calculated only when all possible outcomes in the sample space are down and equally likely to occur. It is the probability of known events or events whose resulting probabilities are definitive
For example, students are either left-handed, right-handed or ambidextrous
Subjective probability is a guess on the likelihood an event would occur.
Experimental probability is the probability derived by repeatedly carrying out an experiment and recording the outcomes

Feldpausch Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system: Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity Assembly $1,372,578 61,800 machine-hours Processing orders $63,235 2,010 orders Inspection $151,316 2,090 inspection-hours The company makes 600 units of product W26B a year, requiring a total of 1,200 machine-hours, 78 orders, and 34 inspection-hours per year. The product's direct materials cost is $49.55 per unit and its direct labor cost is $12.44 per unit. The product sells for $128.70 per unit. According to the activity-based costing system, the product margin for product W26B is:_____.a. $8,458.52.b. $10,920.12.c. $40,026.00.d. $10,912.40.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rates:
Assembly= 1,372,578/61,800= $22.21 per machine-hour
Processing orders= 63,235/2,010= $31.46 per order
Inspection= 151,316/2,090= $72.4 per inspection-hour
Now, we allocate costs to W26B:
Assembly= 22.21*1,200= 26,652
Processing orders= 31.46*78= 2,453.88
Inspection= 72.4*34= 2,461.6
Total allocated costs= $31,567.48
Finally, the unitary cost and margin for W26B:
Unitary allocated cost= 31,567.48/600= $52.61
Unitary total cost= 49.55 + 12.44 + 52.61= $114.6
Product margin= 128.7*600 - 114.6*600= $8,460
The Converting Department of Osaka Napkin Company uses the average cost method and had 2,100 units in work in process that were 70% complete at the beginning of the period. During the period, 26,500 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,200 units in process that were 30% complete at the end of the period.
a. Determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs for the period.
b. Determine the number of equivalent units of production for the period.
Answer:
a. Number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs for the period:
= 26,500 units + 1,200 units
= 27,700 units
b. Number of equivalent units of production for the period:
= 26,500 units + (1200 units*30%)
= 26,500 units + 360 units
= 26,860 units
Assume that a $1,00,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with five years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 5%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 11.00%. Using ths information and ignoring the other costs involved, the value of the T-note is calculated as $773,871.23
Based on this calculation and an understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statements:
1. Assuming the interest rates remain constant, the T-notes price is expected to _____________. (Increase or Decrease) Please Explain Why.
2. The T-note described is selling at a ________________. (Premium or Discount) Please Explain Why.
3. When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period N in the present value formula used to calculate the price of the bond is treated in terms of ____________ periods. (Annual, 6 month, 4 month, 12 month)
Answer:
Completing the following statements based on the calculations and an understanding of semiannual coupon bonds:
1. Assuming the interest rates remain constant, the T-notes price is expected to _____________. (Increase or Decrease).
The reason for the increase in the T-notes price is the addition of the amortization for the 6-month period of $17,563.
2. The T-note described is selling at a ________________. (Premium or Discount)
The T-note sells at a discount because the face value is greater than the price. This implies that at the end of the maturity period of 5 years, the amount that will be received or paid is $1,000,000 and not the price that was initially received or paid.
3. When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period N in the present value formula used to calculate the price of the bond is treated in terms of ____________ periods. (Annual, 6 month, 4 month, 12 month)
Semiannual = 6 months (12/2).
Explanation:
a) Data anc Calculations:
Face value of semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note = $1,000,000
T-note price = $773,871.23
Discount on the note = $226,128.77 ($1,000,000 - $773,871.23)
Maturity period = 5 years
Coupon rate = 5%
Yield rate = 11%
Semiannual coupon payment = $25,000 ($1,000,000 * 2.5%)
Semiannual interest expense = $42,563 ($773,871.23 * 5.5%)
Amortization of discount = $17,563 ($42,563 - $25,000)

California wildfires destroy vineyards across the Napa Valley. This is during the season when wine festivals occur most often all over the country. Demonstrate the effect of these events on the equilibrium price and quantity of wine.
Answer:
As a result of the wildfire, supply would fall. there would be a leftward shift of the supply curve. the quantity supplied of wine would reduce and price would increase
as a result of the festival, there would be an increase in demand. this would lead to an outward shift of the demand curve. Thus, the quantity demanded would increase and price would increase
taking these two effects together, there would be an indeterminate change in equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price would increase

People use money as a store of value when they hold money to transfer purchasing power into the future.
The problem of determining what goods and services society should produce: would not exist if government owned all of the resources. exists because we can produce more than we need or want. exists because there are not enough resources to provide all of the goods and services that people want. would not exist if all goods and services were scarce.
Answer:
exists because there are not enough resources to provide all of the goods and services that people want.
Explanation:
Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.
The four factors of production are;
I. Land: this refers to the natural resources and raw materials extracted from the ground or grown in the soil e.g oil, gold, rubber, cocoa, etc.
II. Labor (working): this is the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.
III. Capital resources: it includes the physical assets used for production of goods and services such as equipment, money, plant, etc.
IV. Entrepreneurship: it is intellectual capacity required to drive a business and the skills to develop an idea into a money making venture (business).
These four (4) factors of production when combined effectively and efficiently are used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services that meets the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.
However, the problem of determining what goods and services society should produce in order to meet the unending requirements or needs (demands) of consumers, exists because there are not enough resources such as the factors of production to provide all of the goods and services that consumers want.
Short Company purchased land by paying $27,000 cash on the purchase date and agreed to pay $27,000 for each of the next seven years beginning one-year from the purchase date. Short's incremental borrowing rate is 7%. On the balance sheet as of the purchase date, after the initial $27,000 payment was made, the liability reported is closest to:_________.
a. $117,700.
b. $189,000.
c. $145,511.
d. $172,511.
Answer:
c. $145,511
Explanation:
Present value of Payment = Amount*PVADF at (7%, 1)
Present value of Payment = $27.000*6.38929
Present value of payment = $172.511
Liabilities reported after initial payment = $172,511 - $27,000
Liabilities reported after initial payment = $145,511

Japanese officials are considering a new tariff on imported pork products from the United States in an attempt to reduce Japan’s reliance on U.S. pork. Due to political pressure, the U.S. International Trade Representative’s (ITR) office is also considering a new tariff on imported steel from Japan. Officials in both Japan and the U.S. must assess the social welfare ramifications of their tariff decisions. Reports from a reliable think-tank indicate the following: If neither country imposes a new tariff, social welfare in Japan’s economy will remain at $4.8 billion and social welfare in the United States will remain at $44 billion. If both countries impose a new tariff, welfare in the United States declines 0.5 percent to $43.78 billion and welfare in Japan declines by 0.8 percent to $4.76 billion. If Japan does not impose a tariff but the United States does, projected welfare in Japan is $4.66 billion while welfare in the United States is $44.2 billion. Finally, if the U.S. does not impose a tariff but Japan does, welfare is projected at $43.66 billion in the United States and $4.85 billion in Japan. Determine the Nash equilibrium outcome when policy makers in the two countries simultaneously but independently make tariff decisions in a myopic (one-shot) setting. Is it possible for the two countries to improve their social welfare by "agreeing" to different strategies? Explain
Answer:
Explanation:
The following is the Nash equilibrium between the United States and the Japanese Nation, as well as the payoff:
Japanese Nation
Tariff (billion) No Tariff (billion)
Tariff $43.78 , $4.76 $44.2 , $4.66
United States
No Tariff $43.66 , $4.85 $44 , $4.8
From the Nash equilibrium; the United States implements Tariffs and the Japanese Nation also implements Tariff with the outcome ($43.78, $4.76) as the dominant strategy each for the United States and Japanese Nation:
(to implement tariff).
By agreeing to adopt No tariff, the two nations may be able to increase their social welfare.
On the other hand, the decision to implement no tariffs relies on the event being performed indefinitely, thereby utilizing trigger methods when the interest rate is very low.
On September 30, 2018, the San Fillipo Corporation issued 8% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $280 million. The bonds mature on September 30, 2038 (20 years).

Table values are based on: 40 5% Amount Present Value Cash Flow Interest Principal Price of bonds $ 220,000,000
Answer:
the price of the bond is $231,955,808
Explanation:
The computation of the price of the bond is shown below:
= Interest + principal
= ($280,000,000 × 8% × 6 months ÷ 12 months) × PVIFA factor at 5% for 40 years + ($280,000,000 × PVF factor at 5% for 40 years)
= 192,181,808+ $39,774,000
= $231,955,808
hence, the price of the bond is $231,955,808
