Answer:
Holding Period return 19.54%
Explanation:
We purchase to get a yield of 8%
so we sovle for the present value of the bond (market value) which is the amount at which we adquire the bond:
PV of the coupon payment:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C ($1,000 x 5%) 50.000
time 20 years
rate 0.08
[tex]50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-20} }{0.08} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $490.9074
Pv of maturity:
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,000.00
time 20.00
rate 0.08
[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)^{20} } = PV[/tex]
PV 214.55
PV c $490.9074
PV m $214.5482
Total $705.4556
Then, we solve for the price that 7% YTM after a year:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 50.000
time 19
rate 0.07
[tex]50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-19} }{0.07} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $516.7798
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,000.00
time 19.00
rate 0.07
[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{19} } = PV[/tex]
PV 276.51
PV c $516.7798
PV m $276.5083
Total $793.2881
Now we compare to get hte capital gain:
year-end less beginning value
$793.29 - $705.46 = $87.83
The coupon is also a return:
$1,000 x 5% = $50
Total return $137.83
Investment $705.46
Holding-period return
137.83/705.46 = 0,195376 = 19.54%

Having a global vision simply means having a willingness to sell outside
one's national borders if, and when, the opportunity arises.
True or
False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Having a global vision I believe means that a management does recognize and very well reacts to international marketing opportunities. The management will be using different effective marketing strategies. The management is also very much aware of threats from their foreign competitors in all the different markets they are into.
Based on this short and concise explanation I just made, we can see that having a global vision does not mean having a willingness to sell outside one's national borders if, and when, the opportunity arises.

Required:
a. Compute 2022 cash-basis net income.
b. Compute 2022 accrual-basis net income.
Answer:
a.
Net Income for 2022 = $33000
b.
Net Income for 2022 = $36000
Explanation:
a.
The cash basis accounting follows that all the transactions should be recorded in the period in which cash is either received or paid out as a result of that transaction rather than in the period to which they relate to.
Thus, the Net Income for 2022 under cash basis will be,
Cash Receipts in 2022
Collections from customer 105000
Less: Cash Payments in 2020
Expenses paid (72000)
Net Income 33000
b.
Under accrual basis, the transactions should be recorded in the period to which they relate to rather than in the period when cash is received or paid out.
Thus, net income for 2022 under accrual basis will be,
Revenue 2022 = 105000 - 25000 + 40000 = $120000
Expenses 2022 = 72000 - 30000 + 42000 = $84000
Net Income = 120000 - 84000 = $36000
a. Net Income for 2022 cash-basis net income. = $33000
b. Net Income for 2022 accrual-basis net income. = $36000
a. The Net Income for 2022 under cash basis is:
Cash Receipts in 2022
Collections from customer 105000
Less: Cash Payments in 2020
Expenses paid (72000)
Net Income 33000
b. The net income for 2022 under accrual basis is:
Revenue 2022 = 105000 - 25000 + 40000 = $120000
Expenses 2022 = 72000 - 30000 + 42000 = $84000
So,
Net Income = 120000 - 84000
= $36000

How do financial managers tend to value all assets in the same terms?a. By evaluating cash flowsb. By qualifying cash flowsc. By interpreting cash flowsd. By estimating cash flows
Answer:
a. By evaluating cash flows.
Explanation:
In Economics, an asset can be defined as any resources of economic value or items of monetary value that is being owned by an individual, country or business organization to generate income and derive benefits from.
Generally, assets can be classified broadly into four (4) categories and these are; capital assets, fixed assets, intangible assets, and financial assets.
Financial managers tend to value all assets in the same terms by evaluating cash flows.
Cash flow can be defined as the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents that is flowing into (received) and out (given) of a business. There are three (3) main components of the cash flow; investing, operating and financing.
Suppose Ruston Company had the following cash flow results for 2019: Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities of $9,100,000 Net Cash Flow from Investing Activities of -$4,300,000 Net Cash Flow from Financing Activities of $3,400,000 Create a statement of cash flows with amounts in thousands.

You produce an invoice for $1,346, increasing the Construction Income account. Show what other account is increased using the extended accounting equation.
Answer:
While the Construction Income account is increased by $1,346 (Equity - Retained Earnings, the other account that is increased is the Accounts Receivable account (Assets) in the extended accounting equation.
Explanation:
The accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Equity. This implies that every business transaction affects Assets, Liabilities, and Equity and always keep the equation in balance. A transaction may also affect only one side of the accounting equation. For example, cash received from customers (on credit account) will increase the Cash account and decrease the Accounts Receivable account, which only affects the Asset side of the equation.

Evaluate the company's efficiency and profitability by computing the following for 2014 and 2013.
1. Profit margin ratio
2. Total Asset turn over.
3. Return on total asset
Answer:
1. 2014 = 11 % and 2013 = 15 %
2. 2014 = 1.30 times and 2013 = 1.41 times
3. 2014 = 14.27 % and 2013 = 21.16 %
Explanation:
1. Profit margin ratio
Profit margin ratio = Earnings Before Interest and Tax / Sales × 100
Therefore,
Profit margin ratio (2014) = ($ 52.400 + $ 9,550 + $12,300) / $675,000 × 100
= 11 %
Profit margin ratio (2013) = $ 72,575 + $ 8,925 + $13,000) / $630,000 × 100
= 15 %
2. Total Asset turnover.
Total Asset turnover = Sales ÷ Total Assets
Therefore,
Total Asset turnover (2014) = $675,000 ÷ $ 520,500
= 1.30 times
Total Asset turnover (2013) = $630,000 ÷ $446,550
= 1.41 times
3. Return on total asset
Return on total asset = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) / Total Assets × 100
Therefore,
Return on total asset (2014) = $ 52.400 + $12,300 + $9,550 / $ 520,500 × 100
= 14.27 %
Return on total asset (2013) = $ 72,575 + $8,925 + $13,000 / $446,550 × 100
= 21.16 %
Byron Books Inc. recently reported $14 million of net income. Its EBIT was $22.4 million, and its tax rate was 30%. What was its interest expense? [Hint: Write out the headings for an income statement, and then fill in the known values. Then divide $14 million of net income by (1 - T) = 0.7 to find the pretax income. The difference between EBIT and taxable income must be interest expense. Use this same procedure to complete similar problems.] Write out your answer completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
interest expense = $2,400,000
Explanation:
net income = (EBIT - interest expense) x (1 - 30)
$14,000,000 = ($22,400,000 - interest expense) x 0.7
$14,000,000 / 0.7 = $22,400,000 - interest expense
$20,000,000 = $22,400,000 - interest expense
interest expense = $22,400,000 - $20,000,000 = $2,400,000

What is the value today of a money machine that will pay $4,010.00 per year for 13.00 years?
Answer:
The present value of the machine is $35499
Explanation:
The annual amount or annuity amount = $4010 per year.
Total number of years = 13 years
Here, the interest rate is not given so we just assume the interest rate = 6% per annum.
Since we have a total number of years and annual payment that occurs for 13 years. We are required to find the present value of the machine. So use the formula to find the present value of the annuity.
The present value of machine = (Annuity amount x (1 – (1+r)^-n) ) / r
The present value of machine = (4010(1 – (1+6%)^-13) ) / 6%
The present value of machine = $35499
For the past 10 years, Tony was an agent for It’s a Wonderful Life Insurance Company. While his career started out strong, Tony got involved in some transactions involving cash that violated his company’s ethical policies, and they terminated him as an agent last month, but did not notify Tony’s clients of his termination, and have not yet collected company forms and logos from Tony. Last week, Christopher, a long-time client of Tony’s, purchased a new It’s a Wonderful Life life insurance policy from Tony to cover the costs of his newborn child’s college education. The policy binder indicated that the insurance was in force as soon as Christopher signed the application and paid the premium (since Christopher was a long-time customer of Tony and the Insurance Company). Which of the following statements is correct?
A. The life insurance policy is not in force because Tony was no longer an agent of It’s a Wonderful Life Insurance Company.
B. The policy is in effect because Tony had the apparent authority to issue the policy.
C. The policy is in effect because Tony had the implied authority to issue the policy.
D. The policy is in effect because Tony had the express authority to issue the policy.
Answer:
C. The policy is in effect because Tony had the implied authority to issue the policy.
Explanation:
In the situation of Tony, it could be concluded safel that he has the implied authority due to the fact that, most of the company's forms and logos are still with him. And, also, none of the company's customers were notified about the termination of Tony's contract thereby invalidating him as being one of the staff of the company.

Judge Karen, a state appellate court judge, decides that the precedent for the case she is hearing is no longer correct due to technological changes. Her decision to overturn the case must be followed by___________.
Answer:
Increased publicity
Explanation:
if a judge overturns a case from a trial court and rejects precedent, the judge should get publicity for her decision and modification of the precedent so that it becomes a new way or basis of judging similar cases. In other words if judge Karen decides that the precedent before her to judge the case is outdated as a result of technological changes, she will decide on the case before her based on what she believes the precedent should reflect(new technologies) and this becomes the new basis for judging all such cases and as a result should be publicised for other judges to take note

= $5960
Therefore, the amount of taxes that Tim can deduct as an itemized deduction will be $5960.
In accounting for a contingent liability, if the likelihood of the obligation is probable but the amount cannot be estimated, a company must:_____.a. recognize the liability and report it on the balance sheet.
b. do nothing.
c. not recognize or disclose the liability until it is certain and the exact amount is known.
d. provide disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements.
Answer: d. provide disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements.
Explanation:
A contingent liability is an obligation that a company might owe in future depending on the outcome of an event such as a law suit.
To record a contingent liability in the books, two conditions must be satisfied;
Loss must be probableAmount must be estimableIf these two conditions are not satisfied then the contingent liability may simply be disclosed as a footnote in the financial statement. The amount here is not estimable so can be disclosed as a footnote.
During an unpredictable event, the coverage for the damage to a third person in which the insured party is liable is a contingent liability. Examples are goods warranties, lawsuits etc.
The correct answer is:
Option d. provide disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements.
This can be explained as:
If during a trial or any event when the third party is insured then the owner business needs to remunerate the damage losses.For the contingent liability, the losses must be presumable and the damaged sum should be computable.If the above-stated circumstances are not satisfied then it is published in the footnote.Therefore, the amount is disclosed in the footnote.

Most people recognize Campbell's as a brand of soup, but Campbell's also manufactures Pace Picante Sauce, Pepperidge Farms products, Prego Sauce, Swanson Broth, and V8 juice. Campbell's International division offers more than 20 brands of soups, sauces, beverages, and baked snacks in the Asia Pacific region, Greater Europe and Latin America. Products such as Arnott's biscuits and crackers and Bià Band soups are well known overseas. Campbell's products are sold in more than 120 countries.Refer to Campbell's. Of the following what is probably Campbell's biggest labeling concern in its international markets?1. translating ingredient, 2. promotional, 3. instructional
Answer:
2. promotional
Explanation:
Even though the 3 options may represent a serious problem for Campbell's soup, but personally I believe that out of the 3, the most serious one is promotional. Many companies have very serious issues with translations, and not only small companies. E.g. when Pepsi ran an ad in China where it meant to say "Come alive with Pepsi", it really said "Pepsi brings your ancestors form the dead", and unless you like zombies, that is not a good idea.
For example, I really hope and assume that Goldfish baked tortillas (Pepperidge Farm) aren't made with real goldfish. But considering Asian countries that eat cats, dogs, bats and about anything that moves by itself, who knows. Maybe they expect them to be from real goldfish.

Suppose you bought a bond with an annual coupon of 7% one year ago for $1,010. The bond sells for $985 today. A. Assuming a $1,000 face value, what was your total dollar return on this investment over the past year?B. What was your total nominal rate of return on this investment over the past year? C. If the inflation rate last year was 3%, what was your total real rate of return on this investment?
Answer:
(a) $45
(b) 4.45%
(c) 1.4%
Explanation:
Mentioned that,
The Value of bond one year ago is $1,010
The Annual coupon rate is 7%
The Selling value of bond today is $985
The Face value is $1,000
Based on the above information, the calculations are shown below:
a. Total dollar return on this investment is
= Current bond price - previous year price + Coupon payment
= $985 - $1,010 + ($1,000 × 7%)
= $985 - $1,010 + $70
= $45
(b) The total Nominal rate of return on this investment is
= [(Current bond price - previous year price + Coupon payment) ÷ previous year price]
= [($985 - $1,010 + ($1,000 × 7%)) ÷ $1,010]
= $45 ÷ $1,010
= 0.0445
= 4.45%
(c) In case when Inflation rate last year is 3%
The Total real rate of return is
= [(1 + Nominal rate) ÷ (1 + Inflation rate)] - 1
= [(1 + 4.45%) ÷ (1 + 3%)] - 1
= 1.0140 - 1
= 0.0140
= 1.4%
