Crossfade Corp. has a bond with a par value of $2,000 that sells for $1,902.14. The bond has a coupon rate of 6.48 percent and m
Virty [35]

Answer:

yield to maturity = 7.06%

Explanation:

yield to maturity (YTM) is calculated using the following formula:

YTM = {C + [(FV - PV) / n]} / [(FV + PV) / 2]

  • FV = $2,000
  • PV = $1,902.14
  • C = $2,000 x 6.48% x 1/2 = $64.80
  • n = 12 x 2 = 24

YTM = {64.80 + [(2,000 - 1,902.14) / 24]} / [(2,000 + 1,902.14) / 2] = (64.80 + 4.0775) / 1,951.07 = 0.0353 or 3.53% semianually or 7.06% annually

Since the bond sells at a discount, its yield to maturity will be higher than the coupon rate.

Vietnam and Ecuador both produce shrimp and rice. Vietnam can produce 180 thousand pounds of shrimp or 60 thousand pounds of ric
Elden [556K]

Answer:

(a) 3 pounds of shrimp

(b) 5 pounds of shrimp

Explanation:

Opportunity costs refers to the costs or benefits that are foregone to select some other alternative.

Vietnam can produce 180,000 pounds of shrimp or 60,000 pounds of rice in a year:

Opportunity cost of producing one pound of rice = 180,000 ÷ 60,000

                                                                                  = 3 pounds of shrimp

Ecuador can produce 130,000 pounds of shrimp or 26,000 pounds of rice in a year:

Opportunity cost of producing one pound of rice = 130,000 ÷ 26,000

                                                                                  = 5 pounds of shrimp

Therefore,

According to the principle of comparative advantage, the Vietnam has a comparative advantage in producing rice because it has a opportunity cost of producing rice than Ecuador.

Cost of Ending Inventory =  $ 939,470.18

Explanation:

                                Units                 % of Completion           EUP

                                                        D.M         C.C                  D.M        C.C

Units completed 114,000              100         100            114,000      114,000

Ending Inventory 36,000              80          40            28,800         14400

Total Equivalent Units Of Production                       142,800        128,400

Direct Materials= $ $2,721,900/142,800 = $ 19.0761

Conversion Costs = $3,478,200/ 128,400= $ 27.089

                                 

Cost of Ending Inventory = $549,391.68 + $390,078.5= $ 939,470.18
