There are zero coupon bonds outstanding that have a YTM of 6.09 percent and mature in 17 years. The bonds have a par value of $1
dlinn [17]

Answer:

$3,606.49

Explanation:

the price of a zero coupon bond = maturity value / (1 + i)ⁿ

  • maturity value = $10,000
  • i = 6.09% / 2 = 3.045% semiannual interest rate
  • n = 17 years x 2 semiannual compounding = 34 periods

the price of a zero coupon bond = $10,000 / (1 + 3.045%)³⁴ = $10,000 / 1.03045³⁴ = $10,000 / 2.772779928 = $3,606.49

the formula we used to determine the market price of a zero coupon bond is basically the present value

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Southern Rim Parts

Journal Entry:

Account Title                        Debit           Credit

Work-in-process inventory  $9,760

Finished goods inventory   24,400

Cost of goods sold              63,440

Manufacturing overhead                      $97,600

To record the prorated under-applied overhead cost.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated manufacturing overhead = $396,000

Estimated direct labor costs = $990,000

Actual manufacturing overhead = $434,000

Actual direct labor costs =  $841,000

Predetermined overhead rate = estimated overhead/estimated direct labor costs = $396,000/$990,000 = $0.40 per DL

Applied overhead:

Work-in-process inventory $ 33,640

Finished goods inventory 84,100

Cost of goods sold 218,660

Total overhead applied = $336,400

Underapplied overhead = $97,600 ($434,000 - $336,400)

Prorating the underapplied overhead to:

Work-in-process inventory $33,640/$336,400 * $97,600 = $9,760

Finished goods inventory 84,100/$336,400 * $97,600 = $24,400

Cost of goods sold 218,660/$336,400 * $97,600 = $63,440

Total underapplied overhead = $97,600
