What is the coupon rate for a bond with 3 years until maturity, a price of $1,053.46, and a yield to maturity of 6%
Answer:
8%
Explanation:
we can use the approximate yield to maturity formula to calculate the coupon rate:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]
0.06 = {coupon + [(1,000 - 1,053.46) / 3]} / [(1,000 + 1,053.46) / 2]
0.06 x 1,026.73 = coupon - 17.82
61.6038 + 17.82 = coupon
79.42 = coupon
since this is just an approximation, I would guess that the coupon rate is 8%, instead of 7.94%
Suppose you receive the following end-of-year cash bonuses at work: end of year 2: $4,000 end of year 4: $6,000 end of year 6: $10,000 end of year 8: $12,000 If you invest your bonuses and earn 12% on your investments, how much will you have at the end of year 12
Answer:
the amount that have at the end of year 12 is $65,899.63
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that have at the end of year 12 is shown below:
Future value = Present value × (1 + Interest rate)^number of periods
= $4000 × (1 + 12%)^10 + $6,000 × (1 + 12%)^8+ $10,000 × (1 + 12%)^6 + $12,000 × (1 + 12%)^4
= $65,899.63
hence, the amount that have at the end of year 12 is $65,899.63
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
Schister Systems uses the following data in its Cost-Volume-Profit analyses: Total Sales $ 335,000 Variable expenses 184,250 Contribution margin 150,750 Fixed expenses 107,000 Net operating income $ 43,750 What is total contribution margin if sales volume increases by 20%
Answer:
New contribution margin = $180,900
Explanation:
Given:
Total Sales = $335,000
Variable expenses = $184,250
Contribution margin = $150,750
Fixed expenses = $107,000
Net operating income = $43,750
Find:
New contribution margin if sales volume increases by 20%
Computation:
New sales = 335,000 x (1+20%)
New sales = $402,000
New variable expenses = $184,250 x (1+20%)
New variable expenses = $221,100
New contribution margin = New sales - New variable expenses
New contribution margin = $402,000 - $221,100
New contribution margin = $180,900

An investor views a high debt-to-equity ratio and low times-interest-earns ratio as favorable signs of a company's ability to meet its long-term obligations. True False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Instead the reverse is the case. A high times-interest-earned ratio and a low debt-to-equity ratio is viewed by an investor as favorable signs of a company's ability to meet its long-term obligations. When the two measures are combined and they look favorable, investors are attracted to invest in the said company. So companies should work to ensure that the times-interest-earned ratio is high enough to be attractive to investors.
Fontaine and Monroe are forming a partnership. Fontaine invests a building that has a market value of $250,000; the partnership assumes responsibility for a $75,000 note secured by a mortgage on the property.

The return on total assets is computed by dividing net sales by average total assets. net income by ending total assets. net income by average total assets. net sales by ending total assets.
Answer:
The return on total assets is computed by dividing net income by ending total assets
Explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in knowing the mathematical formula that can be used to calculate the return on total assists
Mathematically, to calculate the return on total assets, two factors are needed.
These factors are;
i) Company’s net income
ii) Company’s assets total value
By using a specific period of time ( quarterly, annually etc); we can divide i by ii
So what we mean here is that;
Return on total assets = Net income of a company over a specific time period divided by the total asset value of the company over that specific period of time
A corporation purchases 20 000 shares of its own $20 par common stock for $35 per share, recording it at cost. What will be the effect on total stockholders' equity?A. Increase by $400,000.B. Increase by $700,000.C. Decrease by $400,000.D. Decrease by $700,000.
Answer:
D. Decrease by $700,000.
Explanation:
The computation of the effect on the total stockholder equity is as follows
Given that
Number of shares is 20,000
Per share $35 recorded at a cost
Own shares at par is $20
As we know that if we purchased our own stock so it would be called as a treasury stock and the same is to be deducted from the shareholder equity as it is a contra equity account that reduce the equity balance
Now the effect would be
= 20,000 shares × $35
= $700,000
Hence, it is decreased by $700,000
Tanner takes out a loan today and repays the loan with eight level annual payments, with the first payment one year from today. The payments are calculated based on an annual effective interest rate of 4.75%. The principal portion of the fifth payment is 699.68.
Calculate the total amount of interest paid on this loan.
a) 1239
b) 1647
c) 1820
d) 2924
Answer:
Total interest = 1239.12
Explanation:
Assume;
Loan amount = P
Annual payment = X
P[1st payment] = X/[1+0475]⁸
P[1st payment] = X/[1.0475]⁸
P[5th payment] = X/[1+0.0475]⁴
P[5th payment] = X/[1.0475]⁴
P[5th payment] = 699.68
So,
X = 699.68[1.0475]⁴
X = 842.39
P = (842.39/0.0475)(1 – 1/1.0475⁸)
P = 5,500 (Approx)
Total interest = [842.39 x 8] - 5,500
Total interest = 1239.12

Budgeted fixed manufacturing cost was $890,000 for 40,000 units or 100,000 hours, Actual fixed overhead totaled $910,000. The standard fixed production overhead cost per direct-labor hour was: _________$
Answer:
Estimated fixed overhead= $8.9 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Estimated overhead cost= $890,000
Standard hours allowed= 100,000 hours
To calculate the fixed estimated overhead per standard hour, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined fixed manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined fixed manufacturing overhead rate= 890,000 / 100,000
Predetermined fixed manufacturing overhead rate= $8.9 per direct labor hour
For bonds issued 2019, the taxpayer must amortize bond premium using which of the following methods?
a. Straight-Line Method
b. Constant Yield Method
c. Activity Depreciation Method
d. Double Declining Balance
Answer:
For bonds issued 2019, the taxpayer must amortize bond premium using the following method:
a. Straight-Line Method.
Explanation:
The premium paid by the taxpayer for a bond represents part of the cost basis of the bond. The bond premium can be tax-deductible at a rate spread out (amortized) over the bond's lifespan. The straight-line method for bond premium amortization is considered to be a simpler method than the effective interest amortization method. While the straight-line amortization divides the bond's total premium over the remaining payment periods, the effective interest, which is more complicated, computes some unique values at all points during the amortization process.

How successful is ABC Company relative to the industry average and leaders in the small specialty retail store industry? Write two paragraphs or more. Include ratios found in the IBIS database to support your conclusion.
Answer: The first ratio, which is the current ratio have them sitting at 5.5 when the average for 2016-2017 was 1.7
Explanation:
From doing three ratios, ABC are doing well above average when it comes to the ratios carried out. The first ratio, which is the current ratio have them sitting at 5.5 when the average for 2016-2017 was 1.7 this doesn't mean they are worth meeting up with their target yet but it would require more loans and them building on what they currently have. This ratio informs them on their stand on taking more loans or not.
With an average of 2.0 in the 2016-2017 year, they are at a 1.2. The lower this ratio is the more debt they can put themselves in and not have to worry about if they could pay it off or not
Gamble Corporation had beginning inventory $100,000, cost of goods purchased $700,000, and ending inventory $140,000. What was Gamble's inventory turnover
Answer:
Inventory turnover= 5.5
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold using the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory
COGS= 100,000 + 700,000 - 140,000
COGS= 660,000
Now, the inventory turnover:
Inventory turnover= Cost of goods sold/ average inventory
Average inventory= (beginning inventory + ending inventory) / 2
Average inventory= (100,000 + 140,000)/2= 120,000
Inventory turnover= 660,000 / 120,000
Inventory turnover= 5.5
