On January 1, 2015, East Lansing, Inc, issues $2,000,000 of 10 percent, 5-year bonds that pay interest of $100,000 semiannually. The market rate is 8 percent at the time of issuance. The issue price of the bonds is:____a. $1,852.810 b. $1888,970 c. $1.999.970 d. $2,162.290
Answer:
The answer is option D
Explanation:
The bond can be issued at par, at a discount or at a premium depending on the coupon rate and the market interest. The price of the bond which pays semi annual coupon can be calculated using the formula of bond price. The formula to calculate the price of the bond is attached.
First we need to determine the semi annual coupon payment, periods and YTM.
Semi annual coupon payments = 2000000 * 0.1 * 6/12 = 100000
Semi annual periods = 5 * 2 = 10
Semi annual YTM = 0.08 * 6/12 = 0.04
Bond Price = 100000 * [(1 - (1+0.04)^-10) / 0.04] + 2000000 / (1+0.04)^10
Bond Price = $2162217.916
The price of the bond is thus $2162290 approx. The difference in answers is due to rounding off.
Mitchell Inc. issued 40, 6%, $1,000 bonds on January 1, 2020. The bonds pay cash interest semiannually each July 1, and December 31, and were issued to yield 7%. Debt issuance costs were $800. The bonds mature December 31, 2022, and the company uses the effective interest method to amortize bond discounts and debt issuance costs.Required a. Determine the selling price of the bonds. Round amount to the nearest whole dollar. b. Prepare an amortization schedule for the full bond term. c. Prepare journal entries on the following dates. 1. January 1, 2020, bond issuance. 2. June 30, 2020, interest payment. 3. December 31, 2020, interest payment.
Answer:
a. Determine the selling price of the bonds.
we can use the approximate yield to maturity formula to determine the price of the bonds:
0.035 = {30 + [(1,000 - MV) / 5]} / [(1,000 + MV) / 2]
0.035 x [(1,000 + MV) / 2] = 30 + [(1,000 - MV) / 5]
0.035 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 30 + 200 - 0.2MV
17.5 + 0.0175MV = 230 - 0.2MV
0.2175MV = 212.5
MV = 212.5 / 0.2175 = $977
b. Prepare an amortization schedule for the full bond term.
I used an excel spreadsheet because there is not enough room here
c. Prepare journal entries on the following dates.
1. January 1, 2020, bond issuance.
Dr Cash 38,280
Dr Credit issuance cost 800
Dr Discount on bonds payable 920
Cr Bonds payable 40,000
2. June 30, 2020, interest payment.
Dr Interest expense 1,368
Dr Debt issue expense 146
Cr Cash 1,200
Cr Discount on bonds payable 168
Cr Credit issuance cost 146
[($40,000 - $920) x 3.5%] - $1,200 = $168
($168 / $920) x $800 = $146
3. December 31, 2020, interest payment.
Dr Interest expense 1,374
Dr Debt issue expense 151
Cr Cash 1,200
Cr Discount on bonds payable 174
Cr Credit issuance cost 151
[($40,000 - $752) x 3.5%] - $1,200 = $174
($174 / $920) x $800 = $151
Assume that for John Paxton, a soybean producer from Iowa, the only source of farm income is from the production of soybeans. Paxton produced 100,000 bushels of soybeans in 2014, receiving $8 per bushel. Assuming this producer had pro- duction expenses of $300,000, and assuming the CPI for 2014 was 2.00, his real farm income for 2014 was:_______ a. $250,000.b. $500,000. c. $800,000. d. can't tell; insufficient information
Answer:
A. $250,000
Explanation:
Real farm income can be calculated by dividing Nominal income by CPI for calculation data is given in the question.
DATA
Price per bushel = $8
units produced in 2014 = 100,000
Expense = 300,000
CPI = 2
Solution
Nominal income in 2014 = 8x100,000
Nominal income in 2014 = $800,000
Farm income = nominal income - expenses
Farm income = 800,000 - 300,000
Farm income = $500,000
real income = nominal income / CPI
real income = 500,000/2
real income = $250,000

Accel's income statement is a summary of the temporary accounts, which are not carried forward in the next accounting period. They are used to calculate the profit performance of the consulting firm. They include the revenues and the expenses incurred for generating the revenue.
Accel's statement of retained earnings shows the difference between the net income generated over the years for a business that has been in operation for years and the payouts from the net income in form of dividends to stockholders. For Maria Gomez's consulting business, the retained earnings statement shows what is remaining after paying dividend for the month of December to Gomez.
Accel's balance sheet is the final financial statement that is needed to be prepared to show the financial position of the firm. It shows what the firm owns as assets and the value that the firm owes other creditors for services not paid for or not yet rendered and the equity value for the stockholder, Maria.

You can buy property today for $2.1 million and sell it in 6 years for $3.1 million. A. If the interest rate is 11%, what is the present value of the sales price?
B. What is the present value of the future cash flows, if you also could earn $110,000 per year rent on the property?
Answer:
Present value of sales price = 465,395.16
Present Value of future cash flow= 465,359.16
Explanation:
The present value of a sum expected in the future is the worth today given an opportunity cost interest rate. In another words ,it is amount receivable today that would make the investor to be indifferent between the amount receivable today and the future sum.
The present value of a lump sum can be worked out as follows:
PV = FV × (1+r)^(-n)
Present Value of sales price= 3.1 × 1.11^(-6) =1.65739
Present Value=165,738.65
Present Value of an annuity of 110,000 for 6 years:
PV = A × 1- ( (1+r)^(-n))/r
PV = 110,000× (1-1.11^(-6))/0.11= 465,359.16
PV = 465,359.16
Which of the following indicates a website is NOT secure?
Answer:
a) a lock icon is not displayed in the address bar
(d) the url of the website begins with http
Explanation:
The lock item in the address bar is proof that the communication between your computer and the website is secure because it indicates that the communication is encrypted. If it is not there therefore, the communication is not secure.
Websites with Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) are secured as the communication is encrypted by the use of Transport Layer Security unlike websites with the basic HTTP. Visits to such sites are therefore riskier as there is a higher chance of information theft.
The website is not secure when its not displaying a lock, missing an updated SSL and does start with an HTTP instead of HTTPS.
There are many methods of checking that a website is secure is not correct by the use of various software tools like domain blocker, website checker etc.Hence the option D is correct that is the URL of the website begins with HTTP.

Answer:
1. Samson Auto Parts has weak internal controls. - c. not a good separation of duties.
Samson Auto has weak internal controls because the same person being the bookkeeper, receives cash, records it and deposits it. This gives the bookkeeper the opportunity to commit fraud.
2. Liberty Dermatology Clinic has strong internal controls. - There is a good separation of duties.
There are various people handling the cash so Liberty has stronger controls. The mail clerk receives the money, the cashier deposits it and the accounting department records it. There is therefore less chance of fraud.
3. Scott Construction has strong internal controls. - Good separation of duties.
Construction supervisors first request equipment they need, and the home office does the purchasing and shipping. This separation of duties will help reduce fraud as the supervisors will not make fraudulent claims that will be untraceable.
4. Remington Home Construction has weak internal controls. Poor separation of duties.
At Remington, the supervisors may be able to commit fraud due to the lack of separation of their duties. They can purchase equipment needed and then get reimbursed when they do. This opens the door for fraudulent claims on the part of the supervisors so Remington does indeed have weak controls.
The company could issue preferred stock. The stock sells for RM105, however if new stock is issued, the company would receive only RM88. The par value of the stock is RM100 and the dividend is RM10. What is the cost of capital for the preferred stock to the company?
Answer: 11.36%
Explanation:
The Cost of capital is calculated as;
= (Dividend rate / Net Stock price) * 100
= (10 / 88) * 100
= 11.36%
Net Stock price is used as it shows a more accurate depiction of the cost of capital since it uses the actual amount that the company received.
Answer:
11.36%
Explanation:
Alfred Home Construction is considering the purchase of five dumpsters and the transport truck to store and transfer construction debris from building sites. The entire rig is estimated to have an initial cost of $125,000, a life of 8 years, a $5000 salvage value, an operating cost of $40 per day, and an annual maintenance cost of $2000. Alternatively, Alfred can obtain the same services from the city as needed at each construction site for an initial delivery cost of $125 per dumpster per site and a daily charge of $20 per day per dumpster. An estimated 45 construction sites will need debris storage throughout the average year. If the minimum attractive rate of return is 12% per year, how many days per year must the equipment be required to justify its purchase?
Answer:
If the total number of days per year is 1,419 or less, then the company should obtain the services from the city. But if the total number of days per year is 1,420 or more, then the company should purchase the equipment.
Explanation:
alternative 1:
initial outlay = $125,000
useful life 8 years
depreciation per year = ($125,000 - $5,000) / 8 = $15,000
costs:
$40 per day
maintenance $2,000 per year
total annual costs = $40x + $2,000
alternative 2:
$125 x 45 sites = $5,625
$20x
total annual costs = $5,625 + $20x
how large does x need to be in order for alternative 1 to be better using a 12% discount rate
cash flows
year 0 = ($125,000)
year 1 = $40x + $2,000 - $5,625 - $20x = $20x - $3,625
year 2 = $20x - $3,625
year 3 = $20x - $3,625
year 4 = $20x - $3,625
year 5 = $20x - $3,625
year 6 = $20x - $3,625
year 7 = $20x - $3,625
year 8 = $20x - $3,625 + $5,000 = $20x + $1,375
I used the present value of an annuity formula, to determine the value of cash flow:
the PV annuity factor for 12% and 7 periods is 4.5638, so:
24,756.20 x 4.5638 = $112,982
$29,756.20 / (1.12⁸) = $12,018
total = $125,000
$20x - $3,625 = 24,756.20
$20x = $28,381.20
x = $28,381.20 / $20 = 1,419.06 days (including all 45 sites)
That means that if the total number of days per year is 1,419 or less, then the company should obtain the services from the city. But if the total number of days per year is 1,420 or more, then the company should purchase the equipment.

The Mugger sells three types of mugs, flowers, dogs, and sports. The following information is available:________.
Total Sales Volume Selling Price Variable cost per unit Total fixed costs Flowers 25,000 $20 10 Dogs 100,000 $25 20 Sports 50,000 $10 6 $500,000
REQUIRED (show all supporting calculations):________.
1. What is the breakeven point for The Mugger?
2. Would you recommend promoting the change in product mix to 4 to 2 to 1 of flower mugs, dog mugs, and sports mugs? Why?
3. An executive summary is required.
Answer:
Flowers Dogs Sports Total
sales volume 25,000 100,000 50,000
selling price $20 $25 $10
variable cost $10 $20 $6
total fixed costs $500,000
contribution margin $10 $5 $4
weighted contribution margin = [(25,000 x $10) + (100,000 x $5) + (50,000 x $4)] / 175,000 = ($250,000 + $500,000 + $200,000) / 175,000 = $5.428571
break even point in units = $500,000 / $5.428571 = 92,105.26 ≈ 92,106 units
flowers: (25/175) x 92,106 = 13,158 units
dogs: (100/175) x 92,106 = 52,632 units
sports: (50/175) x 92,106 = 26,316 units
total = 92,106 units
break even point in $
flowers: 13,158 units x $20 = $263,160
dogs: 52,632 units x $25 = $1,315,800
sports: 26,316 units x $10 = $263,160
total = $1,842,120
currently total contribution margin is:
flowers: 25,000 units x $10 = $250,000
dogs: 100,000 units x $5 = $500,000
sports: 50,000 units x $4 = $200,000
total = $950,000
operating profit = $950,000 - $500,000 = $450,000
if the change is successful, then total contribution margin would be:
flowers: 100,000 units x $10 = $1,000,000
dogs: 50,000 units x $5 = $250,000
sports: 25,000 units x $4 = $100,000
total = $1,350,000
new operating profit = $1,350,000 - $500,000 = $850,000
So yes, I would recommend promoting the change in product mix to increase the sales of flower mugs in order to increase operating profit.
Acme Storage has a market capitalization of $100 million and debt outstanding of $40 million. Acme plans to maintain this same debt-equity ratio in the future. The firm pays an interest rate of 7.5% on its debt and has a corporate tax rate of 35%. show calculations
a. If Acme's free cash flow is expected to be $7 million next year and is expected to grow at a rate of 3% per year, what is Acme's WACC?
b. What is the value of Acme's interest tax shield?
Answer:
1. The Value of a levered firm can be calculated using WACC which means that if you have the Value, you can compute WACC.
The formula is;
Value of leveraged firm = Free cash-flow/ (WACC - Growth rate)
Value of leveraged firm = Value of Equity + Value of Debt
= 100 + 40
= $140 million
Value of leveraged firm = Free cash-flow/ (WACC - Growth rate)
140 = 7 ( WACC - 3%)
140 * WACC - 4.2 = 7
WACC = 0.08
= 8%
2. Interest tax shield = Value of leveraged firm - Value of unleveraged firm
Value of unleveraged Firm = Free Cash Flow/ WACC before tax - Growth rate
WACC before tax = WACC + (Debt/(Debt + Equity))*Cost of Debt*(Tax Rate)
= 8% + (40/ 140) * 7.5%(35%)
= 8.75%
Value of unleveraged Firm = Free Cash Flow/ WACC before tax - Growth rate
= 7 /( 8.75% - 3%)
= $121.74 million
= $122 million
Interest tax shield = Value of leveraged firm - Value of unleveraged firm
= 140 - 122
= $18 million

The original cost of the current stove when selecting a new, more efficient stove for a restaurant d. Local tax incentives when selecting the location of a new office complex for a company’s headquarters e. The fair market value (trade-in value) of the existing forklift when deciding whether to replace it with a new, more efficient model f. Fuel economy when purchasing new trucks for the delivery fleet g. The cost of production when determining whether to continue to manufacture the screen for a smartphone or to purchase it from an outside supplier h. The cost of land when determining where to build a new call center i. The average cost of vehicle operation when purchasing a new delivery van j. Real estate property tax rates when selecting the location for a new order processing center
Answer:
a. The purchase price of the old computer when replacing it with a new computer with improved features - Irrelevant cost
Sunk costs are considered irrelevant and the price of the old computer is a sunk cost as it has already been incurred.
b. The cost of renovations when deciding whether to build a new office building or to renovate the existing office building - Relevant
The cost of renovations will help the company decide which alternative is cheaper between building a new office or renovating.
c. The original cost of the current stove when selecting a new, more efficient stove for a restaurant. - Irrelevant
Like the first, this is a sunk cost so it is irrelevant.
d. Local tax incentives when selecting the location of a new office complex for a company’s headquarters. - Relevant
Local tax incentives could reduce cost of operation so is relevant when choosing headquarter location.
e. The fair market value (trade-in value) of the existing forklift when deciding whether to replace it with a new, more efficient model. - Relevant
The existing machine can be traded in for part of the cost of a new one using its market value to reduce the cost of the new one. It is relevant.
f. Fuel economy when purchasing new trucks for the delivery fleet. - Relevant.
Higher fuel economy can reduce cost of transportation so is a relevant cost.
g. The cost of production when determining whether to continue to manufacture the screen for a smartphone or to purchase it from an outside supplier. - Relevant.
This is a relevant cost because the it will help the company decide the cheaper alternative.
h. The cost of land when determining where to build a new call center. - Relevant.
Some land will be in areas that will have higher real estate prices. Your preferred cost of land will help determine which areas to look for locations in.
i. The average cost of vehicle operation when purchasing a new delivery van. - Relevant.
If this cost is too high it will increase expenses. It is a relevant cost to note for cost maximisation.
j. Real estate property tax rates when selecting the location for a new order processing center. - Relevant
Real estate taxes need to be known so that cost estimation can be made on the order processing center.
