Answer:

Thus, expected value of playing = $2.8 - $2 = $0.8

Explanation:

Cost of playing = $2

Expected return

10% chance to win $1 = $1 \times 10% = $0.1

25% chance to win back $2 = $2 \times 25% = $0.5

50% chance to win $5 = $5 \times 50% = $2.5

15% chance to lose $2 (being cost) = $2 \times 15% = ($0.3)

= $0.1 + $0.5 + $2.5 - $0.3 = $2.8

Now for this we have to pay fixed cost $2

Thus, expected value of playing = $2.8 - $2 = $0.8

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

equivalent cost per unit for labor: $4.1982

Explanation:

complete and transferred    165,000

work on ending WIP               16,500  //   22,000 x 75%

previous work on beginning (8,000) //  20,000 x 40%

Equivalent units                   173,500

labor cost added during the period 726,825

equivalent cost 726,825/173,500 = 4.198193084

equivalent cost per unit for labor: $4.1982

Jane Thorpe has been offered a seven-year bond issued by Barone, Inc., at a price of 943.22. The bond has a coupon rate of 9 per
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given:

  • F = 1000$
  • n = 7
  • Coupon rate = 9%, because  it pays the coupon semiannually, so

=> Coupon payment = 1000*9%/2 = 45

  • Current market rate, YMT=  10%

So the current value of bond is:

C(1- (1+r)^(-n)/r + F/((1+r)^{n}

<=>45(1 - (1+0,1)^(-7/0.1)) + 1000(1+0,1)^7

<=> C = $951

So she will buy the bonds at the offered price 943.22 because it is smaller than $951

Jones of San Diego sold Long of Baton Rouge a video system with a $6,000 list price. Sale terms were 2/10, n/30 FOB San Diego. J
kkurt [141]

Answer:

$4,835

Explanation:

The computation of the payment made by Long is shown below:

= Sale value of video system - discount + freight charges

where,

Discount = Sale value × discount rate

               = $6,000 × 2%

               = $1,200

The other items  values remain the same

Now put all the values to the above formula,

So, the value would be equal to

= $6,000 - $1,200 + $35

= $4,835

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, here's the remaining part to complete the question:

1. In transaction (a), determine the present value of the debt.

2-a. In transaction (b), what single sum amount must the company deposit on January 1,?

2-b. What is the total amount of interest revenue that will be earned?

3. In transaction (c), determine the present value of this obligation.

4-a. In transaction (d), what is the amount of each of the equal annual payments that will be paid on the note?

4-b. What is the total amount of interest expense that will be incurred?

Explanation:

a) A sum of $6,000 is to be paid at the end of each year for 7 years and the principal amount $115,000 to be paid at the end of 7th year.

PV=$6,000/(1+0.07)^1 + $6,000/(1+0.07)^2 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^3 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^4 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^5 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^6 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^7 +$115,000/(1+0.07)^7

PV=$5,607.47 + $5,240.63 + $4,897.78 + $4,577.37 + $4,277.91 + $3,998.05 + $3,736.49 + $71,616.22

PV=$103,951.92

b) Let the single sum that will grow to $490,000 at 7% interest per annum at the end of 8 years be X

FV=PV(1+i)^n

$490,000 = X(1+0.07)^8

Thus,

X= $490,000/(1.07)^8

X = $490,000/1.7182

X = $285,182

Thhus, a single sum of $285,182 needs to be deposited for 8 years at 7% interest p.a.

The total amount of interest revenue is ($490,000-$285,182) = $204,818

c) PV = $75,000/(1.07)^1 + $112,500/(1.07)^2 + 150,000/(1.07)^3

PV = $70,093.45 + $98,261.85 + $122,444.68

= $290,800

FV =$75,000*(1.07)^1 + $112,500*(1.07)^2 + 150,000*(1.07)^3

= $80,250 + $85,867 + $91,878

= $257,995

d) The cost of the machine is $170,000. Immediate cash paid $34,000. Loan Amount is ($170,000-$34,000)=$136,000

The PVA factor at 7% p.a compounded annually for 5 years is 4.1002

Thus, the PMT = 136,000/4.1002

= $33,169

Thus, the amount of each annual payment is $33,169 for 5 years.

The total amount to be paid is ($34,000+$33,169*5)

=$34,000+$165845

=$199845

The interest expense is ($199845 - $170,000)

= $29,845
