Ingersoll Company has a bond currently outstanding. The bond has a face value of $1,000 and matures in 10 years. The bond makes no coupon payments for the first three years, then pays $45 every six months over the subsequent four years, and finally pays $100 every six months over the last three years. If the required return on these bonds is 5.8% percent compounded semiannually, what is the current price of the bond
Answer:
$1,196.01
Explanation:
What is the current price of the bond
Face value of Bond = $1000
Term (maturity time) = 10 years
periods = 10 *2 = 20 ( semiannual compound of interest )
Yield = 5.8%. semiannual yield = 5.8% / 2 = 2.9% = 0.029
Next : calculate the value of bond using the relationship below
Discounting factor = 1/(1 + r)^n
n = number of payments
note : payments are made semiannually
attached below is a Table showing the discounting factor and present value starting from the 4th year ( Biannually )i.e. when payment commenced

What is the discounted payback period for these cash flows if the initial cost is $7,900? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What is the discounted payback period for these cash flows if the initial cost is $10,900? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
1.64 years
2.27 years
3.13 years
Explanation:
Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows
Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31
Amount recovered in year 1 = -5800 + 3805.31 = -1994.69
Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59
Amount recovered in year 2 =-1994.69 + 3132.59 = 1137.90
Payback period = 1 + 1994.69/3132.59 = 1.64 years
B
Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31
Amount recovered in year 1 = -7900 + 3805.31 = -4094.69
Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59
Amount recovered in year 2 = -4094.69 + 3132.59 = -962.10
Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86
Amount recovered in year 3 = -962.10 + 3603.86 = 2641.76
Payback period = 2 years + -962.10 / 3603.86 = 2.27 years
C
Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31
Amount recovered in year 1 = -10900 + 3805.31 = -7094.69
Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59
Amount recovered in year 2 = -7094.69 + 3132.59 = -3962.10
Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86
Amount recovered in year 3 = -3962.10 + 3603.86 = -358.24
Present value in year 4 = 4400 / (1.13^4) = 2698.60
Amount recovered in year 4 = -358.24 + 2698.60 = 2340.36
Payback period = 3 years + 358.24 + 2698.60 = 3.13 years

Testbank Multiple Choice Question 110 On January 1, 2021, Marigold Corp. redeemed its 15-year bonds of $6920000 par value for 101. They were originally issued on January 1, 2009 at 91 with a maturity date of January 1, 2024. Marigold amortizes discounts and premiums using the straight-line method. What amount of loss should Marigold recognize on the redemption of these bonds (ignore taxes)
Answer:
$193,760
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of loss should Marigold recognize on the redemption of these bonds
Bonds edemption=[($6,920,000*1.01)-$6,920,000]+[(100%-91%*$6,920,000)-((100%-91%*$6,920,000)/15 years*12)]
Bonds redemption=[($6,989,200-$6,920,000]+[(9%*$6,920,000)-((9%*$6,920,000)/15 years*12)]
Bonds redemption=$69,200+[($622,800-($622,800/15 years*12)]
Bonds redemption=$69,200+[($622,800-$498,240)]
Bonds redemption=$69,200+$124,560
Bonds redemption=$193,760
Therefore the amount of loss should Marigold recognize on the redemption of these bonds is $193,760
Consider the economy of Citronia, where citizens consume only oranges. Assume that oranges cost $1 each, and each person can buy at most 5,000 oranges. The government has devised the following tax plans:
Plan A Plan B
Consumption up to 1,000 oranges is taxed at 20%. Consumption up to 2,000 oranges is taxed at 30%.
Consumption higher than 1,000 oranges is taxed at 80%. Consumption higher than 2,000 oranges is taxed at 10%.
Required:
Derive the marginal and average tax rates under each tax plan at the consumption levels of 500 oranges.
Explanation:
We are to find marginal tax and average tax rate at a consumption level of 500 oranges for plan A and plan B
Plan A
Consumption level = 500 oranges
Tax = 20%
Tax payable on this = 500 x 20% = 500 x 0.2 = 100
Marginal tax rate = 20 %
Average tax return = 100/500 = 0.2x100 = 20%
Plan B
At tax rate = 30%
Same consumption level
Tax payable = 500 x 30% = 500 x 0.3 = 150
Marginal tax rate = 30%
Average tax rate = 150/500 = 0.3 x 100 = 30%
Elizabeth reports the following items for the current year: Nonbusiness capital gains $ 5,000 Nonbusiness capital losses (3,000) Interest income 3,000 Itemized deductions (including a $20,000 casualty loss in a Federal disaster area) (27,000) In calculating Elizabeth's net operating loss and with respect to these amounts only, what amount must be added back to taxable income (loss)
Answer: $2000
Explanation:
In calculating Elizabeth's net operating loss and with respect to these amounts only, the amount that must be added back to taxable income (loss) will be the difference between the nonbusiness capital gains and the nonbusiness capital losses. This will be:
= $5000 - $3000

Anthony Thomas Candies (ATC) reported the following financial data for 2021 and 2020:
2021 2020
Sales $ 314,000 $ 290,000
Sales returns and allowances 8,000 4,700
Net sales $ 306,000 $ 285,300
Cost of goods sold:
Inventory, January 1 62,000 18,000
Net purchases 139,000 142,000
Goods available for sale 201,000 160,000
Inventory, December 31 61,000 62,000
Cost of goods sold 140,000 98,000
Gross profit $ 166,000 $ 187,300
The average days inventory for ATC (rounded) for 2021 is: (Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
A. 171 days.
B. 222 days.
C. 231 days
D. Less than 100 days.
Answer:
D. Less than 100 days
Explanation:
Average days inventory = 365 / Inventory turnover rate
But
Inventory turnover rate = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
Also,
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2
= ($62,000 + $18,000) / 2
= $40,000
Inventory turnover rate = $201,000 / $40,000 = 5.025
Average days inventory = 365 / 5.025 = 72.64 days

Ace Leasing acquires equipment and leases it to customers under long-term sales-type leases. Ace earns interest under these arrangements at a 6% annual rate. Ace leased a machine it purchased for $790,000 under an arrangement that specified annual payments beginning at the commencement of the lease for five years. The lessee had the option to purchase the machine at the end of the lease term for $200,000 when it was expected to have a residual value of $350,000. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Calculate the amount of the annual lease payments. (Enter amounts as positive values rounded to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
$143,750
Explanation:
We have to first calculate the present value of the bargain purchase option:
PV = $200,000 / (1 + 6%)⁵ = $149,451.63
net lease amount = $790,000 - $149,452 = $640,548
PVIF Annuity due, 6%, 5 payments = 4.546
Annual payment = $640,548 / 4.456 = $143,750

Bob lives in Philadelphia and runs a business that sells guitars. In an average year, he receives $704,000 from selling guitars. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $404,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $286,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $3,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Bob does not operate this guitar business, he can work as an accountant, receive an annual salary of $20,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $3,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this guitar business.

$14,000
Economic profit = $-9000
Explanation:
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Total revenue =price x quantity sold
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Accounting profit = $704,000 - ( $404,000 + $286,000) = $14,000
Economic profit = $14,000 - ($3000 + $20,000) =$-9000

Discuss the tax consequences of the incorporation of the business to Cynthia and to Dove Corporation.
Answer:
Cynthia and Dove CorporationAny profits generated by Dove Corporation will be taxed to the corporation and also taxed to Cynthia as a shareholder whenever Dove distributes the profits as dividends. Taxing Dove and Cynthia creates a double taxation burden for both Dove and Cynthia. Dove Corporation does not get a tax deduction when it distributes dividends to Cynthia. Furthermore, Cynthia cannot deduct any corporation loss when incurred. These are unlike when the business was only a sole proprietorship.

The sensitivity of a system for disciplining and possibly terminating employees is important, and it is critical that the system be seen as fair. Employees form conclusions about the system's fairness based on the system's outcomes and procedures and the way managers treat employees when carrying out those procedures. Three principles of justice are outcome fairness, procedural justice, and interactional justice.
Outcome fairness involves the ends of a discipline process or action, while procedural and interactional justice focus on the means to those ends. Not only is behavior ethical that is in accord with these principles, but research has also linked the last two categories of justice with employee satisfaction and productivity

Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin Ratio
For a recent year, McDonald's company-owned restaurants had the following sales and expenses (in millions):
Sales $18,169.3
Food and packaging $ 6,129.7
Payroll 4,756.0
Occupancy (rent, depreciation, etc.) 4,402.6
General, selling, and administrative expenses 2,487.9
$17,776.2
Income from operations $ 393.1
Assume that the variable costs consist of food and packaging, payroll, and 40% of the general, selling, and administrative expenses.
a. What is McDonald's contribution margin? Round to the nearest tenth of a million (one decimal place).
b. What is McDonald's contribution margin ratio? Round to one decimal place.
c. How much would income from operations increase if same-store sales increased by $500 million for the coming year, with no change in the contribution margin ratio or fixed costs? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a million (one decimal place).
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Variable food and packaging = $6,129.7
Variable payroll = $4,756.0
Variable general, selling and administrative expenses = 40% × $2,487.9 = $995.16
Fixed general, selling and administrative expenses = 60% × $2,487.9 = $1,492.74
Fixed occupancy = $4,402.6
Total fixed cost = $1,492.84 + $4,402.6 = $5,895.34
Total variable cost = Variable food and packaging + Variable payroll + Variable general, selling and administrative expenses
= $6,129.7 + $4,756 + $995.16
= $11,880.86
a. McDonald's contribution margin
= Sales - Variable cost
= $18,169.3 - $11,880.86
= $6,288.44
b. McDonald's contribution margin
= Contribution margin / Sales
= $6,288.44 / $18,169.3
= 34.61%
c. Increase in operating income
= $500 million × 34.71
= $173,050,000
