Bronco High School issues $10 million in bonds on January 1, 2021 that pay interest semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. A portion of the bond amortization schedule appears below: Date Cash Paid Interest Expense Increase in Carrying Value Carrying Value 01/01/2021 $ 8,800,000 06/30/2021 $ 400,000 $ 440,000 $ 40,000 8,840,000 12/31/2021 400,000 442,000 42,000 8,882,000 What is the face amount of the bonds
Answer:
the face amount of the bonds is $10 million
Explanation:
the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds is:
January 1, 2021, bonds issued at a discount
Dr Cash 8,800,000
Dr Discount on bonds payable 1,200,000
Cr Bonds payable 10,000,000
the face value of the bonds = total amount of the issue, while the carrying value of the bonds = face value - discount = $10,000,000 - $1,200,000 = $8,800,000
Laramie Trucking's CEO is considering a change to the company's capital structure, which currently consists of 25% debt and 75% equity. The CFO believes the firm should use more debt, but the CEO is reluctant to increase the debt ratio. The risk-free rate, rRF, is 5.0%, the market risk premium, RPM, is 6.0%, and the firm's tax rate is 25%. Currently, the cost of equity, rs, is 11.5% as determined by the CAPM. What would be the estimated cost of equity if the firm used 60% debt?A) 10.95%.
B) 11.91%.C) 12.94%.D) 14.07%.E) 15.29%.
Answer:
Re = 15.29%
Explanation:
beta at current debt level:
11.5% = 5% + (beta x 6%)
6.5% = 6%beta
beta = 6.5% / 6 = 1.083
unlevered beta = 1.083 / {1 + [(1 - tax rate) x debt / equity]} = 1.083 / {1 + [(1 - 40%) x 25 / 75]} = 1.083 / 1.2 = 0.9025
cost of levered beta at 60% debt:
0.9025 = beta / {1 + [(1 - 40%) x 60 / 40]}
0.9025 x 1.9 = beta
beta = 1.7148
Re = 5% + (1.7148 x 6%) = 15.29%

It shows cash balances at the end of the period.The equity statement indicates the changes, if any, on retained earnings in that period.The balance sheet reports the values of assets, liabilities, and equity at the end of a period. Its preparation is guided by the accounting equation that assets equal liabilities plus equity.g The following information pertains to Lee Corp.'s defined benefit pension plan for year 2: Service cost $160,000 Actual and expected gain on plan assets 35,000 Unexpected loss on plan assets related to a year 1 disposal of a subsidiary 40,000 Amortization of unrecognized prior service cost 5,000 Annual interest on pension obligation 50,000 What amount should Lee report as pension cost in its year 2 income statement
Answer:
$180,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Lee should report as pension cost in its year 2 income statement
Using this formula
Pension cost =Service cost-Actual and expected return on plan assets+Prior service cost amortization+Interest cost
Let plug in the formula
Pension cost =$160,000 – $35,000 + $5,000 + $50,000
Pension cost =$180,000
Therefore the amount that Lee should report as pension cost in its year 2 income statement will be $180,000
You want to be a millionaire when you retire in 40 years. a. How much do you have to save each month if you can earn an annual return of 9.7 percent
Answer:
the amount that saved each month is $173.21
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that saved each month is as follows:
Here we use the PMT formula
Given that
NPER = 40 × 12 = 480
PMT = 9.7% ÷ 12 = 0.81%
PV = $0
FV = $1,000,000
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;PV;-FV;TYPE)
The future value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the pmt is $173.21
Hence, the amount that saved each month is $173.21

Suppose that you are an economic-policy advisor. Environmental groups are pressuring you to implement the highest-possible carbon tax while industry groups are pressuring you to implement no carbon tax at all. Both argue that their position makes more sense economically. In fact, the most efficient tax level is: Group of answer choices a tax equal to the social cost. a tax equal to the external cost. the highest possible tax. no tax at all.
Answer: a tax equal to the external cost.
Explanation:
The most efficient taxes are those that will be equal to the external cost of production that a company is imposing on the environment. This means in effect that a company is paying for the pollution it is inflicting on the environment.
Companies polluting less would pay less and those polluting more would pay more. This is the logic of a tax equal to the external cost.

D. GM has limited bargaining power in the tire market, which lowers tire prices.
E. Walmart has significant bargaining power over its suppliers, which decreases the profitability of the suppliers.
Answer: E. Walmart has significant bargaining power over its suppliers, which decreases the profitability of the suppliers.

He also tries a new product (Y) and the marginal utility of the last unit he consumes is 8 utils and the price is $1. The equal marginal principle suggests that Oscar should rev: 04_09_2018 Multiple Choice increase his consumption of product Y and decrease his consumption of product X.
Answer:
INCREASE in Consumption of product Y
DECREASE in Consumption of product X

Based on the information given we were told that the already existing product (X) has a marginal utility of 10 utils as well as the price of the amounts of $5 while the new product (Y) has a marginal utility of 8 utils as well as the price of the amounts of $1 which means that PRODUCT Y marginal utility and price is lower than that of PRODUCT X marginal utility and price.
Therefore equal marginal principle suggests that Oscar should INCREASE his consumption of product Y and DECREASE his consumption of product X reason been that product Y has a lower marginal utility of 8 utils and the price of the amounts of $1 which means that his consumption of Product Y has to be INCREASED while product X on the other has a higher marginal utility 10 utils as well as the price of the amounts of $5 which means that his Consumption of Product X has to DECREASED.

January 1, 20x1, as related to the establishment of the patent. On June 30, 20x2, Pitchfork spent $130,000 to successfully defend a patent infringement case against the drug. As a result, the estimated remaining useful life was determined to be 16 years from June 30, 20x2. Pitchfork uses the straight-line method to amortize intangibles. What is the amount of amortization expense Pitchfork will record on their December 31, 20x2, Income Statement
Answer:
The question is incomplete since the cost of the patent is missing. I will try to answer the question using some random number for the cost:
purchase cost of the patent = $200,000
assuming that the patent originally had a useful life of 10 years
patent amortization for 2021 = $200,000 / 10 = $20,000
patent's carrying value Dec. 31, 2021 = $200,000 - $20,000 = $180,000
since the company incurred legal costs = $130,000 and was able to extend the patent's useful life:
amortization expense January 1 to June 30 2022 = $20,000 x 6/12 = $10,000
carrying value of the patent on June 30, 2022 = $180,000 - $10,000 + $130,000 = $300,000
since the patent's useful life was extended to 16 years, starting June 30, 2022, the amortization expense per year = $300,000 / 16 years = $18,750
total amortization expense during 2022 = $10,000 (for the first 6 months) + $18,750/2 (for the remaining 6 months) = $10,000 + $9,375 = $19,375

Corporation is considering permanently shutting down a department that has an annual contribution margin of $32,000 and $64,000 in annual fixed costs. Of the fixed costs, $16,000 cannot be avoided. The effect of eliminating this department on Fabio's overall net operating income would be:________.
Answer:
an increase of $16,000
