The XYZ Corporation's A-rated convertible debenture is currently selling for 90. If the bond's conversion price is $40, what is the parity price of the stock
Answer:
$36
Explanation:
Step 1
We find the number of shares the bond is convertible into. This means we find the conversion ratio.
Conversion ratio formula =
Par value/ Bond conversion price
Par value = $1,000
Bond conversion price = 25
Conversion ratio = $1,000/25
= 40 shares.
Step 2
The parity price of the stock is calculated as:
Rate of the convertible debenture (in dollars/ Conversion ratio
In the above question, rate of convertible debenture = 90
converting to dollars = 90 × $10
= $900
Conversion ratio = 40 shares
Parity price of stock = $900/40 shares
= $36

On December 1, 20X1, Tigg Mortgage Co. gave Pod Corp. a $200,000, 12% loan. Pod received proceeds of $194,000 after the deduction of a $6,000 nonrefundable loan origination fee. Principal and interest are due in 60 monthly installments of $4,450, beginning January 1, 20X2. The repayments yield an effective interest rate of 12% at a present value of $200,000 and 13.4% at a present value of $194,000. What amount of accrued interest receivable should Tigg include in its December 31, 20X1, balance sheet
Answer:
$2,000
Explanation:
Accrued interests = loan principal x interest rate x time = $200,000 x 12% x 1/12 (1 month) = $2,000
The adjusting journal entry to record accrued interests should be:
December 31, 20x1, accrued interest receivable
Dr Interest receivable 2,000
Cr Interest revenue 2,000
Interest receivable is an asset account with a normal debit balance.
Answer:
$2,000
Explanation:
Present value of loan = $200,000
Interest rate = 12%
Therefore, the accrued interest receivable can be calculated using the simple interest formula :
Where the present value of the loan is the principal amount,
Accrued interest = principal * rate * time
Since the period is between December 1st to 31 st December = 1 month = (1/12) years
Accrued interest = $200,000 * (1/12) * 12%
Accrued interest = $200,000 * 0.083333 * 0.12
Accrued interest = $2000

At the high level of activity in November, 7,000 machine hours were run and power costs were $18,000. In April, a month of low activity, 2,000 machine hours were run and power costs amounted to $9,000. Using the high-low method, the estimated fixed cost element of power costs is
Answer:
$5,400
Explanation:
During a high level of activity in the month of November, 7,000 machine hours were run and the power costs was $18,000
During a low level of activity in the month of April, 2,000 machine hours were run and the power costs was $9,000
The first step is to calculate the variable cost per unit
= (high power cost-low power cost)/(high machine hours-low machine hours)
= ($18,000-$9,000)/(7,000-2,000)
= 9,000/5,000
= 1.8
Therefore, the estimated fixed cost of the power costs can be calculated as follows
= High power cost-high machine hours×variable cost per unit
= $18,000-7,000×1.8
= 18,000-12,600
= $5,400
Hence the estimated fixed cost element of power costs is $5,400

A company purchased a computer system at a cost of $34,000. The estimated useful life is 8 years, and the estimated residual value is $9,000. Assuming the company uses the double-declining-balance method, what is the depreciation expense for the second year
Answer:
Year 2= $4,687.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $34,000
Useful life= 8 years
Salvage value= $9,000
To calculate the depreciation expense under the double-declining-balance, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Year 1= [(34,000 - 9,000)/8]*2= $6,250
Year 2= [(25,000 - 6,250)/8]*2= $4,687.5
At the Blue Restaurants Corporation, an employee survey reports that efforts to increase worker satisfaction by redesigning jobs led to greater job satisfaction. The human resource department also measured lower rates of absenteeism and employee turnover. What will be the most likely impact of these trends on the profits of Blue Restaurants
Answer:
lower costs, leading to higher profits
Explanation:
Improving job satisfaction in the workplace results in better productivity. This is because employees get to enjoy what they do rather than feeling forced to work.
When the workplace is conducive it will result in lower rates of absenteeism and employee turnover.

B) by charging a higher price to consumers whose demand is more elastic. C) by charging a lower price to consumers whose demand is more elastic. D) by charging the same price to all consumers.
Answer:
C) by charging a lower price to consumers whose demand is more elastic.
Explanation:
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there is usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is an utility company
Price discrimination is when a seller sells the same good at different buyers in different markets.
A seller should sell a good at a higher price to the consumer with a less elastic demand and at a lower price to the consumer with the more elastic demand so as to maximise revenue.
James Stillman is an investment adviser representative with Rock, Feller, and Standard (RFS), a covered adviser with its principal office in State O. Stillman works out of an office in State P and has 4 retail clients there. In addition, Stillman has 25 retail clients in State D, 6 retail clients in State M, and 1 retail client in State O. Stillman would be required to register as an investment adviser representative in
Answer:
Stillman should register as an investment adviser representative in state P.

In this case, Rock, Feller, and Standard (RFS) must be registered in all the states where it has offices functioning, but Stillman only needs to register in the state where his office is. If Stillman worked half year in state P and the other half in state M, then he would need to register in both states. But since this is not the case, then registering in state P should be enough.

Hawkins Poultry Farms is considering the purchase of feeding equipment that costs $139,000 and will produce annual cash flows of approximately $36,000 for five years. The equipment is expected to be sold at the end of five years for $40,000. What is the net present value of the proposed investment
Answer:
NPV = $1,564.65
Explanation:
Here is the full question :
Hawkins Poultry Farms is considering the purchase of feeding equipment that costs $139,000 and will produce annual cash flows of approximately $36,000 for five years. The equipment is expected to be sold at the end of five years for $40,000.
What is the net present value of the proposed investment? Hawkins requires a 15 percent return on all capital investments
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-139,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $36,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $36,000 + $40,000 = $76,000.
i = 15%
NPV = $1,564.65
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
There are two ways to calculate the expected return of a portfolio: Either calculate the expected return using the value and dividend stream of the portfolio as a whole, or calculate the weighted average of the expected returns of the individual stocks that make up the portfolio. Which return is higher? (Select the best choice below.) A. The weighted average expected return of the individual stocks is higher because returns are concave. B. Impossible to tell, it depends on the portfolio. C. Neitherboth calculations give the same answer. D. The weighted average expected return of the individual stocks is higher because returns are convex.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
C. Neither, both calculations give the same answer.
Explanation:
In any given business calculation that is expected to arrive at a particular solution, the solution obtained would always be the same irrespective of the method adopted. For the example, the case of expected return of a portfolio in a business, the calculation would definitely give the same answer when two methods are adopted.
