Answer:
The price of the bond X is 1055.09.
Explanation:
The price of Bond X can be determined as follows:
Let:
R = Present value of the Redemption amount of X and Y
i = yield of both Bond X and Bond Y
For Bond X, we have:
381.5 = R / (1+i)n ………………… (1)
For Bond Y, we have:
647.80. = R/(1+i)(n/2) ……………….. (2)
Use equation (2) to divide equation (1), we have:
381.5/647.8 = 1/ (1+i)(n/2) ……………………….. (3)
0.588916332201297= 1/ (1+i)(n/2)
(1+i)(n/2) = 1 / 0.588916332201297
(1+i)(n/2) = 1.69803407601573
647.80 = R / 1.69803407601573
R = 647.80 * 1.69803407601573 = 1,099.99, or 1,100
Now, also let:
r = coupon rate of Bond X
P= present value of Cash flows of Bond X
Therefore, we have:
P = 1000 * (r/2) / (1+i)0.5 + 1000*(r/2)/ (1+i)1+....+1000 * (r/2) /(1+i)n+ 1100/(1+i)n
It can be observed that we have 2n terms indicating present value of 2n semiannual coupon payments and last term is present value of Redemption amount.
Applying GP formula, we have:
P = 1000 *(r/2) * (1- (1+i)-n) / ((1+i)(1/2) -1) + 1100 * (1+i)-n
Looking at equation (3), we it can be observed that we can have:
(1+i)-(n/2) = 381.5/647.8 = 0.588916
Therefore, we have:
(1+i)-n = 0.5889162= 0.346822
By employing the Binomial approximation, we have:
(1+i)(1/2)= 1+i/2+... very small terms = 1 + i/2
This indicates that:
(1+i)(1/2)-1 = i/2
If we substitute this into the price equation, we will have
P = 1000 *(r/2) * (1-0.346822) / ( i/2) + 1100 * 0.346822 = 1000 * (r/i) * 0.653178 + 381.504
Since r/i = 1.03125, we have:
P = 653.178 * 1.03125 + 381.504 = 1055.09
Therefore, the price of the bond X is 1055.09.

Reasons why South African post office taking private courier companies to court
Answer:
Explanation:
As the only operator of this kind in South Africa, the Post Office has the exclusive right to provide delivery services for all letters, postcards, printed matter, small parcels, and other postal articles up to and including 1kg.
PostNet was initially ordered to stop delivering all packages weighing 1kg and less by 17 March 2020. However, it secured an interdict which allowed it to continue to deliver these packages until the full challenge was heard in the Gauteng High Court.
The Post Office, Postnet and the South African Express Parcel Association (SAEPA) are now set to head to court in a move that could have ramifications for the entire courier industry in South Africa.
Icasa spokesperson Paseka Maleka told BusinessDay that the regulator would give its support to the Post Office as it was following the letter of the law, which allowed private couriers to only deliver food items in the 1kg or less category.
“Icasa’s mandate is to implement what the law requires, and we are doing exactly that,” he said.
“There are exemptions that deal with businesses that do not fall under postal services. Uber Eats, Mr Delivery, etc are such businesses. Obviously, one cannot expect Sapo to be delivering pizza to a consumer,” he said.
On January 1, Eastern College received $1,280,000 from its students for the spring semester that it recorded in Unearned Tuition and Fees.

It has been said that Earned Value Management (EVM) came about because the Federal Government often used "Cost-plus" contractors with project organizations. Cost-plus contracting allows the contractor to recover full project development costs plus accumulate profit from these contracts. Why would requiring contractor firms to employ earned value management help the government hold the line against project cost overruns?
Answer:
Earned Value Management (EVM)
The Federal Government requires contractor firms to employ earned value management because it enables it to assess the work that has been completed against an established baseline plan in terms of technical, time, and cost performance.
Armed with this information, it is in a better position to make important project decisions and help to control over-spending.
Explanation:
Earned value management (EVM) as a integrated project management methodology details the project time schedule, costs, and scope to ensure correct measurement of project performance. Using planned and actual values, EVM enables future predictions, improving the ability of project managers to adjust according to requirements.

Feliciano Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, I63E and E76I, about which it has provided the following data: I63E E76I Direct materials per unit $ 21.70 $ 65.10 Direct labor per unit $ 19.50 $ 58.50 Direct labor-hours per unit 0.80 2.40 Annual production (units) 90,000 30,000
The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $2,063,250 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 45,000.
The company is considering using a form of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below:
Activities and Activity Measures Estimated
Overhead Cost
Assembling products (DLHs) $ 720,000
Preparing batches (batches) 263,250
Product support (product variations) 1,080,000
Total $ 2,063,250
Expected Activity
I63E E76I Total
DLHs 24,000 21,000 45,000
Batches 1,080 675 1,755
Product variations 2,115 1,485 3,600
The manufacturing overhead that would be applied to a unit of product E76I under the activity-based costing system is closest to:________.
Answer:
Unitary cost= $30.91
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Assembling products= 720,000/45,000= $16 per DLH
Preparing batches= 263,250/1,755= $150 per batch
Product support= 1,080,000/3,600= $330 per product variation
Now, we allocate costs to Product E76l:
Assembling products= 16*21,000= $336,000
Preparing batches= 150*675= $101,250
Product support= 330*1,485= $490,050
Total= $927,300
Finally, the unitary cost:
Unitary cost= 927,300 / 30,000
Unitary cost= $30.91

b. Asset turnover for 2019 = 0.29 times
c. Return on assets = 10.24%
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is thereore provided before answering the question as follows:
The following information was taken from the income statement and balance sheet of The Perryman Company for the years 2018 and 2019:
2019 2018
Sales revenues $590,000 $574,000
Net income 212,000 184,000
Total assets 2,142,000 1,998,000
Total stockholders’ equity 712,000 690,000
Compute the following ratios for 2019:
Net profit margin
Asset turnover
Return on assets
The answers are now explained as follows:
a. Net profit margin for 2019
This can be calculated as follows:
Net profit margin for 2019 = Net income in 2019 / Sales revenues in 2019 = $212,000 / $590,000 = 0.3593, or 35.93%
b. Asset turnover for 2019
This can be calculated as follows:
Asset turnover for 2019 = Sales revenues / Average total assets = Sales revenues in 2019 / ((Total assets in 2019 + Total assets in 2018) / 2) = $590,000 / (($2,142,000 + $1,998,000) / 2) = 0.29 times
c. Return on assets for 2019
This can be calculated as follows:
Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets = Net income in 2019 / ((Total assets in 2019 + Total assets in 2018) / 2) = $212,000 / (($2,142,000 + $1,998,000) / 2) = 0.1024, or 10.24%
The New Fund had average daily assets of $2.2 billion in the past year. New Fund's expense ratio was 1.1% and the management fee was .7%.a. What were the total fees paid to the fund's investment managers during the year?b. What were the other administrative expenses?
Answer: A. $15.4 Million
B. $8.8 million
Explanation:
a. What were the total fees paid to the fund's investment managers during the year?
This will be:
= Average daily assets × Management fee
= $2.2 billion × 0.7%
= $15.4 million
b. What were the other administrative expenses?
The total expense that's incurred for managing the fund will be:
= $2.2 billion × 1.1%
= $24.2 million
Therefore, the other administrative expenses will be:
= $24.2 million - $15.4 million
= $8.8 million

In an economy open to international trade ________.
A) saving equals investment in equilibrium
B) saving is the difference between net exports and investment
C) saving equals investment as long as the economy has no exports
D) saving equals investment as long as NX
Answer: D) saving equals investment as long as NX = 0
Explanation:
The last option was incomplete as it should have said ...NX = 0.
The Income/GDP of a country that is open to international trade is calculated as follows:
Income = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Net exports
Y = C + I + G + NX
If NX = 0 then the formula becomes:
Y = C + I + G
Investment in this scenario is therefore:
I = Y - C - G
This is the same as savings as savings is calculated by subtracting consumption and government spending from the total income. This is because government spending is derived from taxes so the cash that people get to save is their income less than their taxes and consumption expenses.
S = Y - C - G = Y
Leonard is creating disaster recovery documents for his company's online operations. He is documenting metrics for a measurable SLA that outlines when you can expect operations to be back online and how much data loss can be tolerated when recovering from an outage. Which metrics is he documenting
Answer:
RTO, RPO
Explanation:
Recovery point objective (RPO)
This simply measures the amount of data that may be lost in real sense due to system failure. It covers the volumes of files that must be gotten back from backup storage so as the normal operations can start agai (data loss)
RTO (recovery time objective)
This is simply regarded as the amount or the timelind by which a business process must be put in place or restored after a disaster occurs.(downtime). It is the time limit at most that is taken to put in place or restore an organization's information system following a disaster occurrence, In layman term is how much time do we have to get everything up and working again.
The four disaster recovery strategies includes
1. Backup and Restore
2. Pilot light
3. Warm standby
4. Hot site/multi-site approach.

If the appropriate interest rate is 8 percent, what is the present value of the cash flow stream that the company is offering you?
Answer:
$2,575,278.87
Explanation:

Present Value = $458,000 + $424,074.07 + $392,661.18 + $363,575.16 + $336,643.67 + $311,707.10 + $288617.69
Present Value = $2,575,278.87
So, the present value of the cash flow stream that the company is offering to me is $2,575,278.87.
