On January 2, 20X1, Meister Company issues $200,000 of 6% bonds. Interest of $6,000 is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds mature in 5 years. The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 7%. Utilizing the time value of money tables in your book, calculate the issue price of the bonds (round the result to whole dollars).
Answer:
January 2, 20x1, bonds issues at a discount
Dr Cash 191,600
Dr Discount on bonds payable 8,400
Cr Bonds payable 200,000
Explanation:
the bonds' current market value = PV of face value + PV of coupon payments
The bond has a 6 percent coupon rate, matures in 5 years (10 semiannual periods), and the market rate is 7%:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3.5%)¹⁰ = $708.92
PV of coupon payments = 30 x 8.31661 (PV annuity factor, 3.5%, 10 periods) = $249.50
bond's market value = $958.42 ≈ $958 x 200 bonds = $191,600

Which of the following best describes why the aggregate demand curve is downward sloping?
a. As the aggregate price level decreases, the stock of existing physical capital increases.
b. As the aggregate price level increases, consumer expectations about the future change.
c. An increase in the aggregate price level causes consumer and investment spending to fall because consumer purchasing power decreases and money demand increases.
d. As a good\'s price increases, holding all else constant, the good\'s quantity demanded decreases.
Answer: c. An increase in the aggregate price level causes consumer and investment spending to fall because consumer purchasing power decreases and money demand increases.
Explanation:
The Aggregate Demand (AD) curve is used to measure the impact that price level has on the expenditure in the economy.
The AD comprises of Investment, Consumption Spending, Government spending and Net Income.
When prices are high, households will spend less as they cannot afford to spend a lot which will reduce consumption spending.
Another result of a high price level is that people will have less money to save and so there will be a lower supply of loanable funds.
Both of these components of the AD reduce when prices increase and vice versa. This is why the AD is downward slopping.
Paula is considering the purchase of a new car. She has narrowed her search to two cars that are equally appealing to her. Car A costs $22,000, and Car B costs $22,200. The manufacturer of Car A is offering 0% financing for 48 months with zero down, while the manufacturer of Car B is offering a rebate of $2000 at the time of purchase plus financing at the rate of 3%/year compounded monthly over 48 months with zero down. If Paula has decided to buy the car with the lower net cost to her, which car should she purchase
Answer:
Paula should purchase car B.
Explanation:
If Paula purchases car A, then her total payments will be $22,000 ($458.33 per month).
If instead she purchases car B, she will need to finance $20,200 for 3 years and her monthly payments will be $447.11. Total payments = $447.11 x 48 = $21,461.28.
this is an ordinary annuity and in order to calculate the monthly payment you must:
monthly payment = principal / annuity factor (PV, 0.25%, 48 periods) = $20,200 / 45.17869 = $447.1134511 = $447.11.
Paula should purchase car B as it offers her lower net cost.
What is compound interest?Compound interest is the interest that is calculated on the principal and the interest up to the period of calculation. Compounding can be done monthly, quarterly, or annually.
When compounding is done on a monthly basis, the formula to calculate Principal is:
[tex]\rm A = P(1 + \dfrac{r}{12})^{12t}[/tex], where A is the principal after t years, r is the rate of interest, P is the principal, and t is the tenure in years. 12t is the total number of months.
For the car B:
The principal will be, cost less rebate:
[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm Principal &= \$22,200 - \$ 2,000\\\\\rm Principal &= \$20,200\\\\r &= 0.03\\\\12t &= 48\: \rm months\end[/tex]
Therefore the net cost (A) will be:
[tex]\rm A = 20,200(1 + \dfrac{0.03}{12})^{48}\\\\\rm A = 20,200(1.0025)^{48}\\\\\rm A = 20,200(1.005)\\\\\rm A = \$20301.126[/tex]
Therefore the net cost of car B is $20301.126 and that of car A is $22,000.
Hence she should purchase car B.

Answer:
8000
$30,000
d.18,000
Explanation:
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
Fixed costs = $100,000 + $20,000 = $120,000
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
variable costs per unit = $15 + $10 = $25
Price = $40
Break even quantity = $120,000 / $40 - $25 = 8000
Profit = total revenue - total cost
Total revenue = price x quantity sold
$40 x 10,000 = $400,000
Total cost = fixed cost + total variable cost
total variable cost = variable cost per unit x quantity sold
$25 x 10,000 = $250,000
total cost = $250,000 + $120,000 = $370,000
Profit = $400,000 - $370,000 = $30,000
C.
Price = $35
quantity = x
profit = $60,000
$60,000 = $35x - ($120,000 + $25x)
solving for x
$180,000 = $10x
x = 18,000

amilton Company applies manufacturing overhead costs to products based on direct labor hours. The company estimates manufacturing overhead cost for the year to be $252,000 and direct labor hours to be 20,000. Actual overhead and actual direct labor hours for the year were $265,000 and 22,200 hours, respectively. Required: 1. Compute over- or underapplied overhead. 2a. Which accounts will be affected by the over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead
Answer:
a) $ 13000 under applied
b) Cost of goods sold $ 13,000 Debit
Factory Overhead $ 13000 Credit
Explanation:
Estimated Manufacturing overhead $252,000
Actual overhead $265,000
Estimated Direct labor hours 20,000
Actual direct labor hours 22,200
Actual overhead-Estimated Manufacturing overhead= $265,000 -$252,000
= $ 13000 under applied
When actual overhead is greater than estimated overhead then it under applied and if estimated overhead is greater than actual it is over applied.
Accounts affected by over and under applied overhead are cost of goods sold and work in process accounts.
The under applied overhead is debited to cost of goods sold account and Factory Overhead is credited to ensure the transfer of the remaining part of the factory overhead.
Similarly over applied overhead is credited to cost of goods sold account and Factory Overhead is debited to ensure the removal of the additional part of the factory overhead from cost of goods sold.
The entry in the above example would be
Cost of goods sold $ 13,000 Debit
Factory Overhead $ 13000 Credit

Which of the following can be filed by the defendant of a lawsuit?A) InjunctionB) ReplyC) ComplaintD) Answer
Answer:
D) Answer
Explanation:
Answer can be filed by the defendant of a lawsuit. This is basically a pleading or response that is filed by the defendant in order to respond to a complaint made by a plaintiff. So when a defendant files an answer, he pleads and presents the defenses or counter arguments by addressing the allegations or claims made by the plaintiff in the complaint. So this way the defendant defends himself/herself against the accusations that are made against the defendant.
Injunction is not valid here because it is a court order which requires an individual to take a particular action or stop doing a particular action.
Reply is also not a valid option because it is a pleading or response of a plaintiff to the defendant's demand for relief which the defendant appeals through the filed answer.
Complaint is also not a valid option because it is a pleading which is filed by the plaintiff. This pleading is filed in order to start a case or a civil action and this is presented in a form of a document.

What is the external financing needed? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
external financing needed $4,296
Explanation:
Sales 26,904
Cost 16,644
(14.600 / 23,600 x 26,904)
Taxable Income 10,206
Tax Income (40%) 4,104

Assets: (proportional to sales)
54,300 / 23,600 x 26,904 = 61902
Equity:
34,000 + 6,156 net income - 2,850 dividends = 37306

You manage an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 10% and a standard deviation of 14%. The rate on Treasury bills is 6%. Your client chooses to invest $60,000 of her portfolio in your equity fund and $40,000 in a T-bill money market fund. What is the reward-to-volatility (Sharpe) ratio for the equity fund
Answer: 0.71
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Expected risk premium = 10%
Standard deviation = 14%.
Treasury bills rate = 6%.
The expected return of equity will be:
= 10% + 6%
= 16%
The reward to voltality ratio is calculated as:
(expected return - risk free rate )/standard deviation
= (16% -6%)/14%
= 10%/14%
=0.1/0.14
= 0.71

Philip Morris expects the sales for his clothing company to be $670,000 next year. Philip notes that net assets (Assets − Liabilities) will remain unchanged. His clothing firm will enjoy a 9 percent return on total sales. He will start the year with $270,000 in the bank. What will Philip's ending cash balance be?
Answer:
the ending cash balance is $330,300
Explanation:
The computation of the ending cash balance is shown below:
Ending cash balance = Opening cash balance + Profit
= $270,000 + (9% × $670,000)
= $270,000 + $60,300
= $330,300
We simply added the opening cash balance and the profit so that the ending cash balance could come
Hence, the ending cash balance is $330,300

Calculate the fair present values of the following bonds, all of which pay interest semiannually, have a face value of $1,000, have 12 years remaining to maturity, and have a required rate of return of 10 percent. (LG 3-5) a. The bond has a 6 percent coupon rate. b. The bond has a 8 percent coupon rate.
Answer:
the bonds' current market value = PV of face value + PV of coupon payments
a. The bond has a 6 percent coupon rate.
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 5%)²⁴ = $310.07
PV of coupon payments = 30 x 13.799 (PV annuity factor, 5%, 24 periods) = $413.97
bond's market value = $724.04
b. The bond has a 8 percent coupon rate.
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 5%)²⁴ = $310.07
PV of coupon payments = 40 x 13.799 (PV annuity factor, 5%, 24 periods) = $551.96
bond's market value = $862.03
