Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

A - If a bond sells at a​ discount, the yield to maturity is greater than the current yield

Explanation:

Yield to maturity is the expected return if the bond is held till maturity. Current yiled is the return if the bond is sold today. There is an evident relationship between yield to maturity (TYM) and the current yield.  

“When a bond's market price is above par, which is known as a premium bond, its current yield and YTM are lower than its coupon rate. Conversely, when a bond sells for less than par, which is known as a discount bond, its current yield and YTM are higher than the coupon rate. Only on occasions when a bond sells for its exact par value are all three rates identical” (Bloomenthal, 2020).

According to the above statements, options C, B and D are eliminated. This leaves option A (If a bond sells at a discount, the yield to maturity is greater than the current yield) as the correct answer. This is true because YTM is calculated on purchase price rather than par value, if the purchase price is less than par value, the YTM will be greater than the current yield.

OS Environmental provides cost-effective solutions for managing regulatory requirements and environmental needs specific to the airline industry. Assume that on July 1 the company issues a one-year note for the amount of $5.2 million. Interest is payable at maturity.Determine the amount of interest expense that should be recorded in a year-end adjusting entry under each of the following independent assumptions:

Interest rate Fiscal year-end Interest expense
12% December 31
10% September 30
9% October 31
6% January 31

Answers

Answer:

In accrual basis accounting, expenses are recorded in the period when their matching revenues are obtained.

In this case, even if the full interest will be paid at maturity, interest expense will still be recorded in each period according to the information that we are given in the question.

Interest expense to be recorded by December 31

5,200,000 * 0.12 = 624,000 / 2 = 312,000

Interest expense to be recorded by September 30

5,200,000 * 0.10 = 520,000 * 3/12 = 130,000

Interest expense to be recorded by October 31

5,200,000 * 0.09 = 468,000 * 4/12 = 156,000

Interest expense to be recorded by January 31

5,200,000 * 0.06 = 312,000 * 7/12 = 182,000

Blitz Corp. had total sales of $3,010,000 last year and has 106,000 shares of stock outstanding. The benchmark PS is 1.6 times. What stock price would you consider appropriate?

Answers

Answer:

the stock price is $45.44

Explanation:

The computation of the stock price is shown below:

Sales per share is

= Total sales ÷ stock outstanding  shares

= $3,010,000 ÷ 106,000 shares

= $28.40

Now

Benchmark PS = Stock price ÷ Sales per share

Stock price = $28.40 × 1.6

= $45.44

hence, the stock price is $45.44

Monday Island produces only potatoes and oranges. Complete the following sentence. The marginal cost of a potato is the number of oranges that​ ______ to get one more​ ______. A. must be​ forgone; potato
B. must be​ forgone; orange
C. people are willing to​ forgo; potato
D. people are willing to​ forgo; orange

Answers

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

The marginal cost is also defined as the opportunity cost.

Opportunity cost refers to the value or quantity of one good that must be foregone to produce one extra unit of other good. Here, the opportunity cost of producing potatoes is the number of oranges.

If Monday Island wants to increase the production of potatoes then it must sacrifices some of the units of oranges.

Answer:

B. Expected Return and Beta

Explanation:

The security market line displays the expected return of an individual asset as a function of it systematic risk (the diversifiable risk) as identified by beta if an asset is correctly priced it lies on the SML and if it lies above the SML it is undervalued because they yield a higher return for a given amount of risk and if it lies below the SML it is overvalued because for a given amount of risk it yield a lower return.

Paradise Corp. has determined a standard labor cost per unit of $12 (1 hour × $12 per hour). Last month, Paradise incurred 1,900 direct labor hours for which it paid $21,850. The company also produced and sold 1,950 units during the month. Calculate the direct labor rate, efficiency, and spending variances.

Answers

Answer:

Direct Labor Rate Variance = $950

Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = $600

Total Direct Labor Spending Variance = $1,550

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Standard labor cost per unit = $12

Direct labor hours = 1,900

Actual Direct labor paid = $21,850

Units sold during the month = 1,950

Standard rate, SR = $12

Now,

Actual rate per unit, AR = $21,850 ÷ 1,900

= $11.5

Direct Labor Rate Variance = ( SR - AR ) × Actual hours

= ( $12 - $11.5 ) × 1900

= $950 ( Favourable )

Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = ( Standard hours - Actual hour ) × SR

= ( 1950 - 1900 ) × $12

= $600 ( favourable )

Total Direct Labor Spending Variance = Standard cost - actual cost

= ( 1950 × 12 ) - 21,850

=  $1,550 (favourable )

Final answer:

To calculate the direct labor rate variance, multiply the standard labor rate per hour by the actual labor hours and subtract the actual labor cost. To calculate the efficiency variance, multiply the standard labor rate per unit by the difference between the actual units produced and the standard units allowed. To calculate the spending variance, multiply the standard labor rate per unit by the difference between the actual labor cost and the budgeted labor cost.

Explanation:

To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we multiply the standard labor rate per hour by the actual labor hours and subtract the actual labor cost. In this case, the standard labor rate per unit is $12, so the actual labor rate is $12. To calculate the efficiency variance, we multiply the standard labor rate per unit by the difference between the actual units produced and the standard units allowed. In this case, the standard units allowed is 1,900 and the actual units produced is 1,950. To calculate the spending variance, we multiply the standard labor rate per unit by the difference between the actual labor cost and the budgeted labor cost. In this case, the budgeted labor cost is $12 per hour and the actual labor cost is $21,850.
