R(0,t) is the Spot Zero-Coupon (or Discount) Rate. It is the annualized rate on a pure Unit Discount bond B(0,t) - the bond that pays 1 dollar at time t. Assume that R(0,13) = 8.00 per cent. What is the price of B(0,13)? Answer with three decimal digits accuracy. Example: 0.728

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.368

Explanation:

Price of B(0,13) = 1 / (1 + interest rate)^years

Price of B(0,13) = 1 / (1 + 8%)^13

Price of B(0,13) = 1 / (1+0.08)^13

Price of B(0,13) = 1 / (1.08)^13

Price of B(0,13) = 1 / 2.7196237

Price of B(0,13) = 0.3676979247

Price of B(0,13) = 0.368

A local car dealer advertised a late model full-size pickup truck which it had taken as a trade-in on a new vehicle purchase in the newspaper for $21,000.00. However, a salesman learned of a man who was seeking that particular model of truck and arranged for him to come and look at the truck the next day. In the meantime, another person, having seen the advertisement came to the dealership and offered to pay the advertised price. The salesman refused to sell the truck for $21,000.00 because he believed that the other person would pay at least $22,000.00. As explained in chapters 11 and 12, legally the dealership could do this because an advertisement is not an offer. Ads sure look like offers. Why do you think the law has the doctrine that ads are not offers

Answers

Answer:

In his article Is an ad an Offer? Why it's, and Why It Matters, Jay M. Feinman and Stephen R. Brill straightaway state that a billboard is a suggestion. The writers cite the instance of the Hornbook's law that contends that an ad isn't a suggestion. This law argues that "if goods are advertised purchasable at a particular price, it's not a suggestion, and no contract is made by the statement of an intending purchaser". The courts, generally, don't consider ads as offers.

Explanation:

Rather ads are a call for participation in business negotiations. This makes practical sense. Consider: if advertisements were offers, someone who saw a commercial for "Delicious Apples" could say: "I accept your offer to get delicious apples, and if they are not delicious, I'll sue!" nobody would be ready to conduct business or advertise products. Courts and students justify the rule on two principal grounds: a typical advertisement is just too general to be a suggestion and there no limitation on what percentage people may accept by trying to shop for it.  

I think this law should be changed since it misleads people and their expectations. By seeing a billboard I'm going for purchasing the merchandise whose rate was also given, the dealer says that he has already sold to somebody else who more. during this example, the salesperson just refused to sell the truck against the advertised price of $21,000 since he had the offer of $22,000 isn't only unethical but against the business norms. Either the law should be changed in this regard or there should be a stop to such misleading advertisements.

You are analyzing ABC Company, a computer manufacturer. You notice that inventory turnover this year is significantly lower than in prior years. You also notice that accounts receivable turnover is significantly lower this year when compared to previous years. Provide three explanations that would be consistent with your observation for inventory turnover and include an explanation of whether these would be of concern to you, as well as what the effect might be on the next period's financial results. In addition, provide three explanations that would be consistent with your observation of the accounts receivable turnover, and explain whether these would be of concern to you.

Answers

Answer:

ABC Company

1. Observation: Current year's inventory turnover is significantly lower than those of previous years.

Explanations:

1. Lower inventory turnover implies weaker sales for the current period than those of previous years.

2. Lower inventory turnover results from excessive inventory, which increases storage costs and interest expenses.

3. The ratio may also indicate that the demand for the product is declining rapidly.  Many reasons can be adduced for this situation.  Little marketing efforts, bad product, and lack of product competitiveness.

a) The formula for computing the inventory turnover equals Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory.  The ratio shows the number of times goods are sold in a period.  When goods are sold more frequently, sales activities increase, including revenue and profit.

2. Observation: Also current year's accounts receivable turnover is significantly lower than in previous years.

Explanations:

1. Billing inefficiency can contribute to lower accounts receivable turnover.

2. Poor credit policy may give rise to inefficient collection process, excessive bad debts, long credit days, bad customers, and lack of incentives to customers to settle their invoices.

3. Lastly, lower accounts receivable turnover may point to declining demand of the product by customers.

b) The formula for calculating the accounts receivable turnover is Net Credit Sales divided by Average receivables.  The ratio determines the effectiveness of the company's credit policy.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The balance in its Retained Earnings account on December 31, 2019 equals

Using this formula

Ending retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividend declare

Let plug in the formula

Ending retained earnings= $ 43,000 + $ 6,000 - $ 5,625

Ending retained earnings= $ 49,000 - $ 5,625

Ending retained earnings= $ 43,375

Therefore The balance in its Retained Earnings account on December 31, 2019 equals $ 43,375

Henley Corporation has bonds on the market with 12 years to maturity, a YTM of 9.7 percent, a par value of $1,000, and a current price of $948. The bonds make semiannual payments. What must the coupon rate be on the bonds

Answers

Answer:

8.96%(9.0% rounded to 1 decimal place since YTM of 9.7% was also to 1 decimal place)

Explanation:

In ascertaining the coupon rate, we need to, first of all, determine the semiannual coupon payment(since the bond pays coupons on a semiannual basis) of the bond using a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:

N=24(number of semiannual coupons in 12 years left to maturity=12*2=24)

I/Y=4.85(semiannual yield to maturity without the "%" sign=9.7%/2=4.85%)

PV=-948( the current bond price of $948 shown as a negative since it is an outflow of cash for the bond investor)

FV=1000(the bond face value of $1000)

CPT

PMT=$44.79

semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate/2

$44.79=$1000*coupon rate/2

$44.79*2==$1000*coupon rate

$89.58=$1000*coupon rate

coupon rate=$89.58/$1000

coupon rate=8.96%

Slaughter Industries just signed a sales contract with a new customer. What is this contract worth as of the end of year 4 if the following payments will be received and the firm earns 6 percent on its savings

Answers

Answer:

$489,512.15

Explanation:

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

We are supposed to determine the present value

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1 = 84,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 113,000

Cash flow in year 3 = 125,000

Cash flow in year 4 = 130,000

I = 6%

PV =  387,739.47

387,739.47(1.06)^4 = $489,512.15

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

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.

Required:
Determine the transaction price for this contract.

Answers

Answer: $1,142,585

Explanation:

The transaction price is the contract price in addition to the expected value of the performance bonuses based on its probabilities.

= Contract price + Expected value of bonus

Bonus is to reduce by $50,700 for every week so:

Expected value of bonus = (152,100 * 70%) + ( (152,700 - 50,700) * 20%) + ( (152,700 - 50,700 - 50,700) * 5%) + ( (152,700 - 50,700 - 50,700 - 50,700) * 5%)

= $129,285

Transaction price = 1,013,300 + 129,285

= $1,142,585

The current price of an annual coupon bond is 100. The derivative of the price of the bond with respect to the yield to maturity is -700.The yield to maturity is an annual effective rate of 8%. Calculate the duration of the bond.

Answers

Answer:

The duration of the bond = 7.56 years

Explanation:

Given the current price = 100

DM = -1 x Current derivative price / Current price

DM = (-1 x -$700 / $100)

DM = 7

Now,  D = DM (1 + r)

D = 7 (1 + 0.08)

D = 7.56

The duration of the bond = 7.56 years

Accounts payable increased by $18,600
Accounts receivable decreased by $25,600
Inventories increased by $6,200
Depreciation expense was $31,800
Net cash provided by operating activities was:_________.

Answers

Answer:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $127,800.

Explanation:

Net cash provided by operating activities can be calculated as follows:

Net cash provided by operating activities = Net income for the year + Increase in accounts payable + Decrease in accounts receivable - Increase in inventories increased + Depreciation expense = $58,000 + $18,600 + $25,600 - $6,200 + $31,800 = $127,800

Therefore, net cash provided by operating activities was $127,800.

Giannitti Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. Data for the upcoming year appear below:
Estimated machine-hours 72,900
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.50 per machine-hour
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead 838,710
The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:________.
A. $6.66 per machine-hour
B. $10.50 per machine-hour
C. $8.69 per machine-hour
D. $15.00 per machine-hour

Answers

Answer:

D. $15.00 per machine hour

Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year is seen below;

First, we will calculate the fixed overhead rate.

Fixed overhead rate = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead / Estimated machine - hours

Fixed overhead rate = $838,710 / 72,900

Fixed overhead rate = $11.50

Then,

Predetermined overhead rate = Fixed overhead rate + Variable overhead rate

Predetermined overhead rate = $11.50 + $3.50

Predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to $15.00 per machine hour

SureLock Manufacturing Co. makes and sells several models of locks. The cost records for the ZForce lock show that manufacturing costs total $19.62 per lock. An analysis of this amount indicates that $11.90 of the total cost has a variable cost behavior pattern, and the remainder is an allocation of fixed manufacturing overhead. The normal selling price of this model is $29.00 per lock. A chain store has offered to buy 14,000 ZForce locks from SureLock at a price of $15.75 each to sell in a market that would not compete with SureLock’s regular business. SureLock has manufacturing capacity available and could make these locks without incurring additional fixed manufacturing overhead.
Required:
a. Calculate the effect on SureLock’s operating income of accepting the order from the chain store.
b. If SureLock’s costs had not been classified by cost behavior pattern, is it likely that a correct special order analysis would have been made? Explain your answer.
c. Identify the key qualitative factors that SureLock managers should consider with respect to this special order decision.

Answers

Answer:

a. $53900

Explanation:

a. the effect on surelocks operating income

$15.75 - $11.9

= $3.85*14000 zforce locks

= $53900

the operating income has risen by 53900 dolars

b. the correct special order analysis can only come in if the the actual cost that was made on the special order was stated. If not the decison cannot be tken rightly given that the total cost and the fixed manufacturing cost is higher than that of the special order price for selling. the special order is not going to be accepted given this reason. So a correct special order analysis would not be made.

c. the key qualitative factors are

selling cost for each lock for this special order and also the variable costs.

g For a closed economy, when net capital outflow is measured along the horizontal axis and the real interest rate is measured along the vertical axis, net capital outflow is drawn as a: Group of answer choices line that slopes up and to the right. horizontal line at the world real interest rate. line that slopes down and to the right. vertical line at 0.

Answers

Answer:  vertical line at 0.

Explanation:

In a closed economy, investments from other countries do not come in and the country does not invest in other countries. This means that capital is neither flowing in nor out.

Net capita outflow is the difference between capital flowing in and capital that is flowing out. If there is no capital flowing in nor out then net capital outflow will be 0. On the graph described, net capital outflow will therefore be zero for all real interest rates which will create a vertical line at 0.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION PLEASE HELP The aim of opinion writing, or persuasive writing, is to have your reader agree with your opinion/ point of view by the time they finish reading your work. This is a chance to use your persuasive skills, and your writing expertise to convince them that your stance on a particular issue or topic is the right one. This can be anything from your favourite ice cream flavour (mint chocolate chip!) to the political party you support. There are 3 main ways to frame your written arguments (or reasons) that will change your readers mind: 1. Logic: using reason or common sense is one way of helping to prove why your stance on a particular issue is the right one. For example, if I wanted to persuade you that mint chocolate chip was the best ice cream flavour (it definitely is), I might say that when you eat it, you feel refreshed, which is the exact feeling you want on a hot summer day. The logic of wanting to feel refreshed on a hot summer day is the logical argument I used to make my point. 2. Emotion: pulling at the heartstrings of your audience, or "hitting them in the feels" as the kids say, is another very effective way to persuade someone to agree with you. As an example, think of the ads that you see on TV for the SPCA, or to donate money to a cause from a developing country. Showing the sad faces of pets and children make the audience feel emotional; upset and guilty, so we pick up the phone to donate. 3. Expertise: being able to speak with authority/expertise on a specific topic, is the final way to form an argument. If you are someone who does a lot of gaming, and you are trying to tell me which video game is the best in terms of quality and overall experience, I would be inclined to believe you since you know a lot about the gaming community and would be able to give accurate information. Now that we know more about the specific ways you can argue/persuade/defend your opinion on any given topic, let's try out our new skill! Below are some questions where I will ask you to pick ONE of two things. Your task is to tell me which one is better, and WHY. For example, use persuasive writing to tell me why Coke is better than Pepsi. Once you have done this, reread your writing and tell me if your argument was one of logic, emotion, or expertise. Example: Hot OR Cold? Cold is always better than hot. In cold weather, you can bundle up in cute, cozy clothes, and snuggle with your pets to keep warm. In hot weather, I feel yucky and grumpy. Here, I used emotional arguments. *Your answers will be more detailed, but I included the above just so you have an idea of what I am asking for. *Written responses should be a paragraph EACH. 1.
