Answer:

<em>3.57% per Annum or 0.0357</em>

Explanation:

Recall that,

By Taking a long position in two of the 4% coupon bonds and a short position in one of the 8% coupon bonds it results in the following

The Year 0:    90- 2 x 80 = -70

The Year 10:   200- 100 = 100  

Since  both coupons cancel each other.

In 10 years time a $100 will be the same to $70 today.

The 10-year rate, R, (10-year-rate) is  given as,

The rate is  1/10 in 100/70 =0.0357  or 3.57% per year.

Trava [24]

Answer:

Capitalized Expenditures:

2. Added a new wing onto the office building.

5. Had an engine rebuilt in one of their fleet cars.

Explanation:

Capitalization is the process of delaying the full recognition of an expense for the acquisition of a new asset with long-term life so that the costs can be treated as an expense gradually over its useful life through an accounting method known as depreciation or amortization.

The criteria for capitalizing expenditure depend on whether the expenditure is necessary to bring the asset to the condition and location where it can be operated as desired by the management.  It must also meet the threshold amount set by management for capitalization.  This is because some assets can be used for more than one year and still they are not regarded as capital assets.  Example is a stapling machine that costs less than a dollar.
