Answer:
b) Accept Project R and reject Project Q
Explanation:
We can use the following method to solve the given problem in the question
We are given
Project Q: Initial Cost = $ 257,412
Projected Cash Flows: Yr 1 : $ 123,300 Yr 2 : $ 180,300
Total Present Value of all the Future Cash Flows using 12.2% as Rate of Return
= 123,300/1.122 + 180,300/(1.122*1.122)
= 109,893 + 143,222
= $ 253,115
Profitability Index = Total Present Values of all Cash Inflows / Initial Investment
= 253,115 / 257142 = 0.98
Since the Initial Investment is greater than the Present Value of Cash Inflows, that is, l Profitability Index < 0 the Project should not be selected.
Project R: Initial Cost = $ 345,000
Projected Cash Flows: Yr 1 : $ 184,500 Yr 2 : $ 230,600
Total Present Value of all the Future Cash Flows using 12.2% as Rate of Return
= 184,500/1.122 + 230,600/(1.122*1.122)
= 164,438.5 + 183,178
= $ 347,616.5
Profitability Index = Total Present Values of all Cash Inflows / Initial Investment
= 347,616.5 / 345,000 = 1.01
Since the Initial Investment is lower that the Present Value of the Cash Inflows, that is, Profitability Index > 0 the Project should be selected.
Accept Project R and Reject Project Q, so option B is the correct answer
Crowl Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $793,800 that would have a 9-year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $133,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $21,200. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $88,200. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to
a. 5.80%
b. 11.12%
c. 16.72%
d. 5.12%
Answer:
Simple rate of return is 5.8%
Therefore option (a) is correct option.
Explanation:
It is given that purchase cost = $793800
Company saving per year = $133000
Yielding = $21200
Annual depreciation = $88200
Annual profit = $133000 - $88200 = $44800
Net investment is equal to = $793800 - $21200 = $772600
Simple rate of return [tex]=\frac{44800}{772600}=0.0579[/tex]
= 5.8%
Therefore simple rate of return is 5.8 %
So option (a) is correct.

Forty-three percent of Americans use social media and other websites to voice their opinions about
television programs (the Huffington Post, November 23, 2011). Below are the results of a survey of
1364 individuals who were asked if they use social media and other websites to voice their opinions
about Television programs
Uses Social Media and Other Websites to
Voice Opinions About Television Programs
Doesn’t Use Social Media and
Other Websites to Voice

Programs
Female 395 291
Male 323 355
a. Show a joint probability table. (2 marks)
b. What is the probability a respondent is female? (2 marks)
c. What is the conditional probability a respondent uses social media and other websites to voice
opinions about television programs given the respondent is female? (3 marks)
d. Let F denote the event that the respondent is female and A denote the event that the
respondent uses social media and other websites to voice opinions about television programs.
Are events F and A independent?
Answer:
(a) 0.2896 (b) 0.5029 (c)0.5758 (d)In this case they are dependent because the gender is segregated as social media user or not as asocial media worker. the probability and variable is tied to it
Explanation:
Solution
(a)In a survey of 1,364 people, 395 were females who used social media and 232 did not. of males 232 use social media and 355 did not
To make or develop a probability table, take each group and divide their number by their total for example female that use social media is 395 of a total of 1364
395/1364 =0.2896
The probability that a woman uses social media in the survey is 0.2896
so,
A B T
Female 0.2896 0.2133 0.5029
Male 0.2368 0.2603 0.4971
Total 0.5264 0.4736 1.00
(b) To find the probability of a surveyed person being a female, we divivde the total number of females by the whole number, shown below
686/1364 = 0.5029
(c)Conditional probability is defined using the formula which is shown below:
P(A/B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)-------(1)
Where P(A∩B) is the probability of females that use social media 0.2896 and P(B) is the total female probability which is 0.5029
Now we substitute the values in the equation 1 and calculate the probability as shown below:
P(A/B) = 0.2896/0.5029 =0.5758
the conditional probability that are surveyed person is female and uses social media is 0.5758
(d) In this case they are dependent because the gender is segregated as social media user or not as asocial media worker. the probability and variable is tied to it
g On July 1, 2019, Sheffield Corp. issued 9% bonds in the face amount of $12400000, which mature on July 1, 2025. The bonds were issued for $11859948 to yield 10%, resulting in a bond discount of $540052. Sheffield uses the effective-interest method of amortizing bond discount. Interest is payable annually on June 30. At June 30, 2021, Sheffield's unamortized bond discount should be
Answer:
$393,063
Explanation:
The bond is issued on discount when the issuance price is less than the face value of the bond. The discount is expensed over the bond period until maturity. It is added to the interest expense value to expense it.
Unamortized Discount is the discount balance which has not been expensed or discount balance for outstanding period of the bond to maturity.
Discount Balance = $540,052

Fresher Foods, Inc., orally agreed to purchase one thousand bushels of corn for $1.25 per bushel from Dale Vernon, a farmer. Fresher Foods paid $125 down and agreed to pay the remainder of the purchase price on delivery, which was scheduled for one week later. When Fresher Foods tendered the balance of $1,125 on the scheduled day of delivery and requested the corn, Vernon refused to deliver it. Fresher Foods sued Vernon for damages, claiming that Vernon had breached their oral contract.
Can Fresher Foods recover? If so, to what extent?
Answer:
In the case of Fresher Goods, Inc.v. Vernon, the trial court will possibly conclude that Vernon must complete the portion of the payment which has already been compensated for as a result of partial results.
Explanation:
Vernon accepted partial payment for the sold goods. While the Law of Frauds demanded that any contract for the selling of goods at a price of $500 or more be enforceable in writing, the oral arrangement was partially compensated and agreed by all parties. That part of the deal was binding, so Vernon would supply 100 corn bushels to Fresher for $1.25 per bushel.
Lamar Printing Company determines that a printing press used in its operations has suffered a permanent impairment in value because of technological changes. An entry to record the impairment should A. recognize additional depreciation expense for the period. B. include a credit to the equipment account. C. include a credit to the equipment accumulated depreciation account. D. not be made if the equipment is still being used.
Answer:
C. include a credit to the equipment accumulated depreciation account.
Explanation:
Since Lamar Printing Company determines that a printing press used in its operations has suffered a permanent impairment in value because of technological changes. An entry to record the impairment should include a credit to the equipment accumulated depreciation account.
In Accounting, Depreciation can be defined as the decrease in the value of an asset (factory equipment, logistics tools etc) as a result of wear or tear, within a specific period of time. Depreciation is used for the allocation of cost to tangible assets with respect to its life expentency or within its useful life.
A production line is to be designed for a product whose completion requires 19 minutes of work. The factory works 400 minutes per day. Can an assembly line with five workstations make 100 units per day? A. yes, with exactly 250 minutes to spare B. no, but four workstations would be sufficient C. no, it will fall short even with a perfectly balanced line D. yes, with high line efficiency E. cannot be determined from the information given
Answer:
C. No, it will fall short even with a perfectly balanced line.
Explanation:
It is clearly seen here that the workforce does not tally with the target production desired, so it is explained that making the target unit of 100 will certainly fall short, even with a perfectly balanced line.
They could rely on the numbers to make intelligent estimates of the magnitude, timing, and uncertainty of future cash flows and to judge whether the resulting estimate of value was fairly represented in the current stock price. And they could make wise decisions about whether to invest in or acquire a company, thus promoting the efficient allocation of capital.
Farrugia Corporation produces two intermediate products, A and B, from a common input. Intermediate product A can be further processed into Product X. Intermediate product B can be further processed into Product Y. The common input is purchased in batches that cost $89 each and the cost of processing a batch to produce intermediate products A and B is $36. Intermediate product A can be sold as is for $53 or processed further for $33 to make Product X that is sold for $79. Intermediate product B can be sold as is for $113 or processed further for $66 to make Product Y that is sold for $158.
Required:
A. Assuming that no other costs are involved in processing potatoes or in selling products, how much money does the company make from processing one batch of the common input into the end products X and Y?
B. Should each of the intermediate products, A and B, be sold as is or processed further into an end product?
Answer:
Explanation:
Product A Product B Total
Incremental rev. 79 158 237
Incremental cost 33 66 99
Contribution 46 92 138
common cost (89)
Cost of Processing (36)
Net income 13
B
Financial advantage - Incremental revenue- Incremental cost -Initial revenue
Product A
79-33-53 = - 7
Product B
158-66-113 = -21.
The two products are better sold at it is without further processing.
As no other cost is involved in the processing or selling and the initial selling price is greater than the incremental contribution , it is advisable that they are sold as they are
Public policy toward monopolies Suppose that a government that is skeptical of efforts to regulate prices charged by private companies is nevertheless concerned that an electric utility company is taking advantage of consumers with unfair pricing policies. Which of the following policy options might most effectively enable the government to achieve its objectives in this situation?
A. Do nothing at all.
B. Use antitrust laws to increase competition.
C. Turn the company into a public enterprise.
D. Regulate the firm's pricing behavior.
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
State Owned Enterprises are those enterprises that is legally taken by the government. This entity is formed by the government to take authority over the commercial activities. It is also known as SOE and Government Owned Corporations (GOC). These enterprises are formed to function on account of government. It helps in avoiding the unfair pricing policies by private companies in some markets.
In the given situation, the government should use the policy of turning the company into a public enterprise through SOE policy. With this, the government will be able to regulate the prices and avoid unfair pricing by the private companies.
So, the correct answer is option C.
Data from Dunshee Corporation's most recent balance sheet appear below: Year 2 Year 1 Current assets: Cash $ 130 $ 100 Accounts receivable, net 270 290 Inventory 90 110 Prepaid expenses 10 10 Total current assets $ 500 $ 510 Total current liabilities $ 230 $ 220 Sales on account in Year 2 amounted to $1,170 and the cost of goods sold was $730. The average collection period for Year 2 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
50 days
Explanation:
THE average collection period for Year 2 is closest to 50 days
Year 2:
cost of goods sold = $730
opening inventory = $110
closing inventory = $90 therefore total inventory = 110 + 90 = $200
Average inventory = $100
to calculate inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average inventory
= 730 / 100 = 7.30
The average collection period = 365 days / inventory turnover ratio
= 365/7.30 = 50 days
In 2020, Sheffield Corp., issued for $102 per share, 97000 shares of $100 par value convertible preferred stock. One share of preferred stock can be converted into three shares of Sheffield's $20 par value common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. In August 2021, all of the preferred stock was converted into common stock. The market value of the common stock at the date of the conversion was $25 per share. What total amount should be credited to additional paid-in capital from common stock as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock
Answer:
Additional paid-in capital is $4,074,000.
Explanation:
In 2020, Sheffield issued $102 per share and there were 97,000 shares of convertible preferred stock.
Preferred stock = 97,000 shares × $102 = $9,894,000
Also we were told that one preferred stock can be converted to 3 common stock i.e. 3 × Preferred stock = Common stock
Therefore, Common stock = [(97000 shares × 3 shares) × $20] = $5,820,000
Additional paid-in capital = $9,894,000 - $5,820,000 = $4,074,000.
Holmes Company produces a product that can be either sold as is or processed further. Holmes has already spent $52,000 to produce 2,325 units that can be sold now for $81,500 to another manufacturer. Alternatively, Holmes can process the units further at an incremental cost of $265 per unit. If Holmes processes further, the units can be sold for $410 each. Compute the incremental income if Holmes processes further.
Answer:
incremental income= $255,625
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Holmes has already spent $52,000 to produce 2,325 units that can be sold now for $81,500 to another manufacturer.
Process the units further at an incremental cost of $265 per unit. If Holmes processes further, the units can be sold for $410 each.
Sell as-is:
Net income= 81,500 - 52,000= $29,500
Continue processing:
Net income= 2,325*(410 - 265) - 52,000= $285,125
incremental income= 285,125 - 29,500= $255,625
The CFO’s objective is to make certain that the capital consumed in farming is renewed and that the farm remains efficient, utilizing the best technology and equipment appropriate for its competitive situation. How would you expect the CFO to calculate depreciation expense?
Explanation:
Since the CFO wants the company to be competitive in the Industry he has to upgrade the machines and equipment in time when a new technology hits the market. which makes the company to increase the depreciation expense and write of the asset as early as possible.
The members of the farm is sharing the profits and assumes no other way of remuneration or incentive, Hence there will not be any opposition in charging higher depreciation.
So it is suitable for the company to claim depreciation on Straight Line method or Double Decline method which will amortize the capital expense early.

Carl invested $100,000 in a fund, which earned 8% over the next year. At the end of the year, he invested an additional $50,000 and the fund earned 18% over the next year. Carl withdrew no money from the fund. Which of the following statements about time-weighted return (TWR) and money-weighted return (MWR) is most accurate? Group of answer choices TWR is greater than MWR, and MWR is the more appropriate measure for Carl. MWR is greater than TWR, and MWR is the more appropriate measure for Carl. TWR is greater than MWR, and TWR is the more appropriate measure for Carl. MWR is greater than TWR, and TWR is the more appropriate measure for Carl.
Answer:
(d)MWR is greater than TWR, and TWR is the more appropriate measure for Carl
Explanation
since he is investing in between the year and he is earning 18% return which is higher than the 8% return on his early initial investment so time weighted return would be lower than that of the money weighted return because he is making money on the initial investment at interest that is lower than the interest rate which has been made by him in the middle of the investment period.
money weighted return is not as appropriate as time weighted written because time weighted return always takes into account the proper withdrawals and amount invested in between.
Freeman, Inc., reported net income of $40,000 for 20A. The income tax return excluded a revenue item of $3,000 (reported on the income statement) because under the tax laws the $3,000 would not be reported for tax purposes until 20B. Assuming a 30% income tax rate, this situation would cause a 20A deferred tax amount of A) $3,000 (debit). B) $3,000 (credit). C) $ 900 (debit). D) $ 900 (credit).
Answer:
The correct option is D,$900(credit)
Explanation:
The revenue omitted would be increase revenue in the year 20B ,as result net income would also be increased,hence the tax impact of it in the future that should be taken record of now is a deferred tax liability,a tax payable in the year 20B.
The amount of tax deferred is the omitted revenue multiplied by the tax rate of 30% i.e
deferred tax =$3000*30%=$900
This would be credited to deferred tax liability and debited income tax expense.

b. 0.56.
c. 1.12.
d. 1.90.
Answer:
1. B. 3.14
2. C. 1.12
Explanation:
1. Times Interest Earned ratio
Measures how well a company is able to cover it's debt obligations using it's earnings.
The formula is simply,
= Earning before Interest and Tax / Interest Expense
Therefore,
Times Interest Earned ratio = 116/37
= 3.14
HHF's times interest earned ratio is Option B, 3.14.
2. Debt to Equity Ratio
This ratio compares the debt used to fund a company vs it's equity. It measures how much of either way used to fund the company.
The formula is,
= Total Debt / Total Equity
= 540/484
= 1.12
HHF's Debt to Equity ratio is 1.12, Option C.
Suppose that initially, the economy is in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium at point A. If there is increased pessimism about the future of the economy, the AD curve will shift from ▼ . The new short-run macroeconomic equilibrium occurs at ▼ point A point B point C . Long-run adjustment will shift the SRAS curve from ▼ SRAS 0 to SRAS 1 SRAS 1 to SRAS 0 as workers adjust to lower-than-expected prices. The new long-run macroeconomic equilibrium occurs at ▼ point A point B point C .
Answer:
a) In simple words, higher level of pessimism would result in lesser aggregate demand. Thus, AD will shift from point AD0 to the point AD1. The fresh short time equilibrium is placed at point B (wherein AD1 is conneting to SRAS0). Longer run accostoming will move SRAS curve from point SRAS0 to the pint SRAS1. Hence, the New longer run equilibrium has been placed at point C.
Imagine that your goal is to retire 34 years from today with \$1,000,000$1,000,000 in savings. Assuming that you currently (i.e., today) have \$5,000$5,000 in savings, what rate of return must you earn on that savings to hit your goal? (Hint: Solve your future value formula for the discount rate, RR) *Make sure to input all percentage answers as numeric values without symbols, and use four decimal places of precision. For example, if the answer is 6%, then enter 0.0600.
Answer:
Present value after 34years = 1000000
Cash flow at present= 5000
Using
PV= CF(1+R)^t
1000000=5000(1+R)^34
R=1.169-1
R=0.168(16.8%)
Rate of return must you earn on that savings to hit your goal is 0.168, at the present value of $1000000, this can be calculated as follows
formula for calculating rate of return =
PV= CF(1+R) ^t
Wherein,
PV is Present value after 34years = 1000000
CF is Cash flow at present= 5000
R (rate of return) =?
T, that is time is 34 years
Therefore, with the help of given numbers the rate of return can be calculated as follows:
1000000=5000(1+R) ^34
R=1.169-1
R=0.168(16.8%)
Therefore, an individual with the present value of $1000000 and present cash flow of $5000 can earn a rate of return at 0.168 after 34 years

The after-tax salvage value of assets to be replaced by the project. The cost of new assets required by the project
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be Option A.
Explanation:
Net investment or expenditure seems to be the total money that a business invests on financial assets, less the deferred revenue of those resources. This statistic gives people a sense of real spending on capital products such as plants, machinery, including technology used throughout the activities of the business.The effective improvement including its program's net income, after-tax recovery value of the properties to have been substituted by the task.So that the above option A is not related to the given scenario.
company is considering establishing a new machine to automate a packing process. The machine will save $ 50,000 in labor annually. The machine can be purchased for $ 250,000 today and will be used for 10 years. It has a salvage value of $5,000 at the end of its useful life. The new machine will require an annual maintenance cost of $ 11,000. The company has a minimum rate of return of 10%. What is the Net present worth and should they buy the machine
Answer:
NPV = $-8,434.17
The firm shouldn't buy the machine
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-250,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 9 = $50,000 - $11,000 = $39,000
Cash flow in year 10 = $39,000 + $5,000 = $44,000
I = 10%
NPV = $-8,434.17
The NPV 8s negative and this indicates that the investment would be unprofitable. The firm shouldn't invest in the project.
To find the NPV 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

Extreme Builders constructs houses. The standard labor rate is $25 per hour and the standard number of hours is 15,000 hours per home. During the year, it constructed 12 homes using 18,000 labor hours per home and a rate of $28 per hour. Calculate the Extreme Builders' labor rate variance. a.$648,000 F b.$540,000 F c.$648,000 U d.$540,000 U
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $648,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The standard labor rate is $25 per hour. During the year, it constructed 12 homes using 18,000 labor hours per home and a rate of $28 per hour.
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (25 - 28)*216,000
Direct labor rate variance= $648,000 unfavorable
The Kaufusi Company has the following budgeted sales: April May June July Credit sales..................................... $ 320,000 $ 300,000 $ 350,000 $ 400,000 Cash sales....................................... $ 70,000 $ 80,000 $ 90,000 $ 70,000 The regular pattern of collection of credit sales is 30% in the month of sale, 60% in the month following the month of sale, and the remainder in the second month following the month of sale. There are no bad debts. The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 would be:
Answer: $242,000
Explanation:
Seeing as this is the balance on the 31st of May, it can be assumed that the 60% to be collected in May (being the month following April) from April Credit Sales has already been collected so only 10% remains.
For May, we can assume that the 30% has been collected leaving only 70% still to be collected on the 31st.
Calculating therefore,
April Credit Sales Due 31st of May = 320,000 * 10%
= $32,000
May Credit Sales due 31st of May = 300,000 * 70%
= $210,000
Total on the 31st of May is therefore,
= 32,000 + 210,000
= $242,000
The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 would be $242,000.
Assume that Parker Company will receive SF200,000 in 360 days. Assume the following interest rates: the 360-day borrowing rate in U.S. is 7% while the 360-day borrowing rate in Switzerland is 5%. The 360-day deposit rate in U.S. is 5% while the 360-day deposit rate in Switzerland is 4%. Assume the forward rate of the Swiss franc is $0.50 and the spot rate of the Swiss franc is $0.48. If Parker Company uses a money market hedge, it will receive ____ in 360 days.
Answer:
Company will receive = $96,000
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Corresponding SF liability equals to pay SF200,000 including interest
= 200,000÷1.05 = SF190476.19
Now Convert the SF into $US at the current spot rate = $0.48×190476.19
= $91428.57
Now deposit the $ US at 5% and withdraw after 360 days =
= $91428.57 + $91428.57×5%
= $95999.99
This way the liability of SF 190476.19 + 190476.19×5% interest will be paid off when Parker company receives $200,000, Parker company will receive = $96,000 in 360 days.
For the next ten questions, use the following information: Stlyez Corp. has a monthly demand of 2,000 units for a product. The product is used at a constant rate over the 365 days. The annual holding cost for the product is estimated to be $4.00 per unit and the cost of placing each order is $150.00. Current order quantity (lot size) is 1000 units. What is the annual holding cost for Stlyez Corp. for their current lot size of 1000 units?
Answer:
$ 2,000
Explanation:
ANNUAL HOLDING COST = (Q / 2) * HOLDING COST
ANNUAL HOLDING COST = (1000 / 2) * 4 = 2000
Hence, the correct amount for the holding cost is $ 2,000
. Spot rates and forward rates:Assume that the current yield curve for zero-coupon bonds (spot rates) is as follows:y1 = 0.5%, y2 = 0.75%, y3 = 1.0%, y4 = 1.25%, y5 = 1.5%a. Plot the spot rates against maturity (yield curve). Is the yield curve upward or downward sloping? Do market participants expect interest rates to increase or decrease in the future? b. What are the implied 1-year forward rates f2, f3, f4, and f5? Are interest rates expected to increase or decrease?Assume that there is no uncertainty about future short rates. This means that future 1 year interest rates will be equal to current forward rates (which you calculated in b.).c. In that situation what will be the spot curve (that is, the yields to maturity on 1, 2, 3, and 4-year zero coupon bonds) in 1 year? d. What is the price of a 5-year coupon bond making annual coupon payments of 2% and a par value of 1000 today? Is the bond trading above or below par? Why?e. What is the price of this bond next year (remember, it is then a 4-year coupon bond)? What is the rate of return on this bond over the next year?
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
As is observable in the first attached image below, the yield curve is upward sloping. According to the pure expectations hypothesis which states that current short-term interest rates are a reflection of long-term term interest rates, market participants should expect long-term interest rates to rise going forward.
(b) Implied one-year forward rate calculation:
[tex]1+f2 = [(1+y2)^(2)] / (1+y1)[/tex]
f2 = 1.0006%
[tex]f3 = [{(1+y3)^(3)} / {(1+y2)^(2)}] - 1[/tex]
f3 = 1.502% approximately
[tex]f4 = [{(1+y4)^(4)} / {(1+y3)^(3)}] - 1[/tex]
f4 = 2.004% approximately
[tex]f5 =[{(1+y5)^(5)} / {(1+y4)^(4)}] - 1[/tex]
f5 = 2.506% approximately.
As implied one-year forward rates are observed to be rising and there is no uncertainty about future spot rates, future interest rates are expected to rise.
(C) Kindly check the second attached image below for the solution to question c
(d) The bond's price would be calculated by summing the Present Values(PVs) of the bond's future cash flows (in the form of annual coupon payments and face value redemption). The discount rate, however, should be the spot rates from the yield curve instead of a single promised yield to maturity.
Let bond price be Pm
Therefore, Pm = 20 / 1.005 + 20 / (1.0075)^(2) + 20 / (1.01)^(3) + 20 / (1.0125)^(4) + 1020 / (1.015)^(5) = $ 1024.872 approximately.
The bond's market value is above its par value, thereby implying that the bond is selling at a premium. This happens whenever the bond's discount rate (or spot interest rates in this case) is below the bond's annual coupon rate.
