Baxter Co. wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 5.6 percent coupon bonds on the market that sell for $1,094.30,page 160 make semiannual payments, and mature in 20 years. What coupon rate should the company set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par
Answer:
The coupon rate the company should set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par is 4.86%.
Explanation:
The coupon rate can be determined by calculating the yield to maturity (YTM) using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) * Number of semiannuals in a year = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)*2 .............(1)
Where;
YTM = yield to maturity = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity * number of semiannuals in a year = 20 * 2 = 40
pmt = semiannual coupon payment = face value * (annual coupon rate / number of semiannuals in a year) = 1000 * (5.6% / 2) = 28
pv = present value = current bond price = $1,094.30 = 1094.30
fv = face value of the bond = 1000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(40,28,-1094.30,1000)*2
Inputting =RATE(40,28,-1094.30,1000)*2 into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), we have
YTM = 4.86%
Therefore, the coupon rate the company should set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par is 4.86%.
Combining a protective put with a forward contract generates equivalent outcomes at expiration to those of a:
Answer:
Fiduciary call.
Explanation:
Foreign exchange market can be defined as type of market in which the currency of one country is converted into that of another country.
For example, the conversion of dollars of the United States of America can be converted into naira (Nigeria) at the foreign exchange market.
A covered interest arbitrage can be defined as trading strategy in which an investor minimizes his or her currency risk by using a forward contract to hedge against the interest rate difference between two countries i.e the exchange rate risk. Thus, it's considered to be the most common interest rate arbitrage around the world.
Generally, when a protective put is combined with a forward contract it would generate equivalent outcomes at expiration to those of a fiduciary call.
This ultimately implies that, a fiduciary call combines both a call option and a bond that's risk free and matures on the expiry date of an option.

Layton Corp. has a $2,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 13 years to maturity. The yield to maturity of the bond is 3.8 percent. What is the dollar price of the bond
Answer:
Bond Price= $2,162.94
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Par value= $2,000
YTM= 0.038/2= 0.019
Coupon= (0.046/2)*2,000= $46
Years to maturity= 13*2= 26
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 46*{[1 - (1.019^-26)] / 0.019} + [2,000 / (1.019^26)]
Bond Price= 936.91 + 1,226.03
Bond Price= $2,162.94
Which are broad categories of action for crafting strategic moves to improve a diversified company's overall performance? (Choose every correct answer.)
Question Completion with Options:
O sticking closely with the existing business lineup and pursuing opportunities that those businesses present.
O Divesting certain businesses and retrenching to a narrower base of business operations.
O Widening the company's business scope by making new acquisitions in new industries.
Answer:
The broad categories of action for crafting strategic moves to improve a diversified company's overall performance are:
O sticking closely with the existing business lineup and pursuing opportunities that those businesses present.
O Divesting certain businesses and retrenching to a narrower base of business operations.
O Widening the company's business scope by making new acquisitions in new industries.
Explanation:
In addition to pursuing existing business opportunities, a diversified company can increase its performance indexes by divesting itself of certain unprofitable lines of business or slow-growth businesses and focusing its resources on cash cows and stars. The pursuit of stars will lead it to make new acquisitions in relatively new industries in order to remain attractive to investors, otherwise, it runs the risk of growing into extinction like the historical dinosaur.
Umatilla Bank and Trust is considering giving Kingbird, Inc. a loan. Before doing so, it decides that further discussions with Kingbird, Inc.’s accountant may be desirable. One area of particular concern is the Inventory account, which has a year-end balance of $253,450. Discussions with the accountant reveal the following.
1. Kingbird, Inc. sold goods costing $51,940 to Hemlock Company FOB shipping point on December 28. The goods are not expected to reach Hemlock until January 12. The goods were not included in the physical inventory because they were not in the warehouse.

3. Kingbird, Inc. received goods costing $25,690 on January 2. The goods were shipped FOB shipping point on December 26 by Yanice Co. The goods were not included in the physical count.
4. Kingbird, Inc. sold goods costing $53,020 to Ehler of Canada FOB destination on December 30. The goods were received in Canada on January 8. They were not included in Kingbird, Inc. physical inventory.
5. Kingbird, Inc. received goods costing $46,060 on January 2 that were shipped FOB destination on December 29. The shipment was a rush order that was supposed to arrive December 31. This purchase was included in the ending inventory of $253,450.
Answer:
$286,100
Explanation:

Indication of Liability Amount on the Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019:
Situation Liability Amount
a. $220,000
b. $0
c. $3,100
d. $0
Explanation:
For Bloomington to recognize a liability or record it in its financial statements, the probability that an outflow of economic resources will occur in the future must be established. Bloomington must also be able to reliably measure the amount of the liability. These two conditions are satisfied in situations A and C. For situation B, the contract is not in force as at December 31, 2019, since the drill press will be purchased in January, 2020. Lastly, for situation D, the amount of the profit-sharing bonus cannot be reasonably and reliably ascertained because the amount to apply the 5% is not clear or known.

Windhoek Mines, Ltd., of Namibia, is contemplating the purchase of equipment to exploit a mineral deposit on land to which the company has mineral rights. An engineering and cost analysis has been made, and it is expected that the following cash flows would be associated with opening and operating a mine in the area: Cost of new equipment and timbers $ 370,000 Working capital required $ 115,000 Annual net cash receipts $ 130,000 * Cost to construct new roads in year three $ 43,000 Salvage value of equipment in four years $ 68,000 *Receipts from sales of ore, less out-of-pocket costs for salaries, utilities, insurance, and so forth. The mineral deposit would be exhausted after four years of mining. At that point, the working capital would be released for reinvestment elsewhere. The company’s required rate of return is 18%. Click here to view Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: a. What is the net present value of the proposed mining project? b. Should the project be accepted?
Answer:
Windhoek Mines, Ltd., of Namibia
a. The net present value (NPV) of the proposed mining project is:
= -$117,258
b. No. The project should be rejected. It has a negative NPV.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of new equipment and timbers = $370,000
Working capital required = $115,000
Cost to construct new roads in year three = $43,000
Annual net cash receipts = $130,000
Salvage value of equipment in four years = $68,000
Company's required rate of return = 18%
Mining duration = 4 years
Annuity factor for 4 years at 18% = 2.1690
Relevant discount factors at 18%:
Year 3 = 0.712
Year 4 = 0.636
Present values of Cash Flows:

A health club has 3 employees who work on lead generation. Each employee contacts leads 20 hours a week and is paid $24 per hour. Each employee contacts an average of 210 leads a week. Approximately 8% of the leads become members and pay a onetime fee of $100. Material costs are $180 per week, and overhead costs are $1,000 per week. a. Calculate the multifactor productivity for this operation in fees generated per dollar of input
Answer:
0.64 fees generated per dollar of input
Explanation:
Fees generated per week = Average number of leads * Leads % conversion to members * One time fee per lead
Fees generated per week = 210 * 8% * $100
Fees generated per week = $1,680
Overhead cost = $1,000 per week
Material cost = $180 per week
Labor cost = Number of employees * Hours per week * Wage per hour = 3 * 20 * $24 = $1,440
Multifactor productivity = Fees generated per week/(Overhead cost + Material cost + Labor cost)
Multifactor productivity = $1,680 / ($1,000 + $180 + $1,440)
Multifactor productivity = $1,680 / $2,620
Multifactor productivity = 0.6412214
Multifactor productivity = 0.64 fees generated per dollar of input

Answer: Depreciate
Explanation:
The Economist is a widely respected financial and economic magazine which means that their articles can cause movements in the market especially when backed up by analysts.
The Economist believes that the Tunisian Dinar will rise relative to the Peruvian Sol, this means that the Peruvian Sol will depreciate against the Tunisian Diner. Some people and entities holding Peruvian Sol assets will try to offload it so that they do not suffer losses.

Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The above is an incomplete question. However, the beginning part from similar question is
Epsilon co. Can produce a unit of product for the following costs. Direct material Direct labor overhead total cost per unit
$8.20 $24.20 $41 $73.40
Calculation to determine what Epsilon should choose
Relevant costs to make = $8.2 + $24.20 + [$41 × (100% - 40%)]
Relevant costs to make = $8.2 + $24.20 + ($41 × 60%)
Relevant costs to make = $8.2 + $24.20 + $24.6
Relevant costs to make = $57

Suppose velocity is constant, but real GDP is not independent of the money supply. If this is the case, a 10 percent increase in the money supply will:
Answer: d. have an unpredictable effect on inflation.
Explanation:
Changes in money supply affect inflation with an increase in money supply causing inflation to rise and a decrease calling inflation to fall. Real GDP is supposed to be independent of the money supply as it is not meant to be affected by inflation.
If a situation arises where real GDP is not actually independent of the money supply then that means that it is not independent of inflation either. Should the money supply therefore rise, the effect on the prices of goods and services (real GDP) in the economy will be unpredictable as it might go either way.
Bothell Company uses a job order costing system that allocates estimated overhead as 40% of prime costs. What is the cost of a job that required direct materials of $2,000 and direct labor of $5,200
Answer:
$10,080
