Answer:
a. Determine the selling price of the bonds.
we can use the approximate yield to maturity formula to determine the price of the bonds:
0.035 = {30 + [(1,000 - MV) / 5]} / [(1,000 + MV) / 2]
0.035 x [(1,000 + MV) / 2] = 30 + [(1,000 - MV) / 5]
0.035 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 30 + 200 - 0.2MV
17.5 + 0.0175MV = 230 - 0.2MV
0.2175MV = 212.5
MV = 212.5 / 0.2175 = $977
b. Prepare an amortization schedule for the full bond term.
I used an excel spreadsheet because there is not enough room here
c. Prepare journal entries on the following dates.
1. January 1, 2020, bond issuance.
Dr Cash 38,280
Dr Credit issuance cost 800
Dr Discount on bonds payable 920
Cr Bonds payable 40,000
2. June 30, 2020, interest payment.
Dr Interest expense 1,368
Dr Debt issue expense 146
Cr Cash 1,200
Cr Discount on bonds payable 168
Cr Credit issuance cost 146
[($40,000 - $920) x 3.5%] - $1,200 = $168
($168 / $920) x $800 = $146
3. December 31, 2020, interest payment.
Dr Interest expense 1,374
Dr Debt issue expense 151
Cr Cash 1,200
Cr Discount on bonds payable 174
Cr Credit issuance cost 151
[($40,000 - $752) x 3.5%] - $1,200 = $174
($174 / $920) x $800 = $151

Suppose you have a choice between investing in a savings account that pays an 8.6% APR, compounded monthly (Bank Monthly) and one that pays an 8.5% APR, compounded daily (Bank Daily). Using only effective annual rates, which bank would you prefer?
Answer:
8.6% APR, compounded monthly
Explanation:
Effective annual rate = ( 1 + periodic interest rate)^m - 1
8.6% APR = (1.007167)^12 - 1 = 0.089472 = 8.95%
m = number of compounding = 12
periodic interest rate = 8.6% / 12 = 0.717%
8.5% APR = (1.000233)^365 - 1 = 0.088706 = 8.87%
m = number of compounding = 365
periodic interest rate = 8.5% / 365 = 0.02329%
I would prefer the 8.6% APR, compounded monthly because the effective annual rates are higher

To be fully effective, the organization's strategic, tactical, and operational goals and plans must be aligned. The strategic management process has six major components, beginning with the establishment of the mission, vision, and goals of the company and ending with strategic control.
The narrator describes how someone creates the mission while someone else identifies the steps that make the mission happen. The steps are known as what?
a. Top of Form
b. strategic vision
c. strategy stepping
d. strategic mapping
e. strategic controls
f. strategy implementation
Explanation:
Strategic planning is important to an organization because it provides a sense of direction and outlines measurable goals. Strategic planning is a tool that is useful for guiding day-to-day decisions and also for evaluating progress and changing approaches when moving forward.

Neon Light Company has $1,000,000 in assets and $600,000 of debt. It reports net income of $100,000.A) What is the return on the assets?
B) What is the return on the stockholders' equity?
C) If the firm has an asset turnover ratio of 3 times, what is the profit margin (return on sales)?
Answer:
a. 10%
b. 25%
c. 3.3%
Explanation:
return on the assets = net income / total assets = $100,000 / $1,000,000 = 0.1 = 10%
return on the stockholders' equity = net income / total equity
Equity = Assets - liabilities = $1,000,000 = $600,000 = $400,000
return on the stockholders' equity = $100,000 / $400,000 = 0.25 = 25%
profit margin = Net income / Revenue
asset turnover ratio = Revenue / total assets
3 = Revenue / $1,000,000
Revenue = $1,000,000 x 3 = $3,000,000
$100,000 / $3,000,000 = 0.033 = 3.3%

Explanation:
Williams Company computed its cost per equivalent unit for direct materials to be $1.90 and its cost per equivalent unit for conversion to be $3.85. A total of 245,000 units of product were completed and transferred out as finished goods during the month. The ending Work in Process inventory consists of 26,000 equivalent units of direct materials and 26,000 equivalent units of conversion costs. The amount that should be reported in ending Work in Process Inventory is:
Answer:The amount that should be reported in ending Work in Process Inventory is:
=$149,500
Explanation:
Work-in-process inventory is materials that are unfinished or partially completed in a production process.
Work in Process inventory = Direct materials cost+ conversion cost
= (equivalent units of direct materials x direct material cost per unit) + (equivalent units of direct materials x conversation cost per unit )
=26,000 x $1.90 + 26,000 x $3.85
$49,400 + $100.100
=$149,500
The amount that should be reported in ending Work in Process Inventory is:
=$149,500
Answer:1408750
Explanation:
Direct Materials 245,000 x 1.90 = 465500
Conversión 245,000x3.85= 943250
Total transferred to finished goods = 465500+943250=1408750

Required:
a. What are the prices of these bonds today?
b. What do you expect the prices of these bonds to be in one year?
c. What do you expect the prices of these bonds to be in three years?
d. What do you expect the prices of these bonds to be in eight years?
Answer:
a. What are the prices of these bonds today?
price of bond X:
0.03 = {37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/26]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.03 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/26]
0.03 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 37.5 + 38.46 - 0.03846MV
15 + 0.015MV = 75.96 - 0.03846MV
0.05346MV = 60.96
MV = 60.96 / 0.05346 = $1,140.29
price of bond Y:
0.0375 = {30 + [(1,000 - MV)/26]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.0375 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 30 + [(1,000 - MV)/26]
0.0375 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 30 + 38.46 - 0.03846MV
18.75 + 0.01875MV = 68.46 - 0.03846MV
0.05721MV = 49.71
MV = 49.71 / 0.05721 = $868.90
b. What do you expect the prices of these bonds to be in one year?
price of bond X:
0.03 = {37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/24]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.03 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/24]
0.03 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 37.5 + 41.67 - 0.04167MV
15 + 0.015MV = 79.17 - 0.04167MV
0.05667MV = 64.17/0.05667 = $1,132.29
price of bond Y:
0.0375 = {30 + [(1,000 - MV)/24]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.0375 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 30 + [(1,000 - MV)/24]
0.0375 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 30 + 41.67 - 0.04167MV
18.75 + 0.01875MV = 71.67 - 0.04167MV
0.06042MV = 52.92
MV = 52.92 / 0.06042 = $875.87
c. What do you expect the prices of these bonds to be in three years?
price of bond X:
0.03 = {37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/20]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.03 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/20]
0.03 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 37.5 + 50 - 0.05MV
15 + 0.015MV = 87.5 - 0.05MV
0.065MV = 72.5
MV = 72.5 / 0.065 = $1,115.38
price of bond Y:
0.0375 = {30 + [(1,000 - MV)/20]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.0375 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 30 + [(1,000 - MV)/20]
0.0375 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 30 + 50 - 0.05MV
18.75 + 0.01875MV = 80 - 0.05MV
0.06875MV = 61.25
MV = 61.251 / 0.06875 = $890.91
d. What do you expect the prices of these bonds to be in eight years?
price of bond X:
0.03 = {37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/10]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.03 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 37.5 + [(1,000 - MV)/10]
0.03 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 37.5 + 100 - 0.1MV
15 + 0.015MV = 137.5 - 0.1MV
0.115MV = 122.5
MV = 122.5 / 0.115 = $1,065.22
price of bond Y:
0.0375 = {30 + [(1,000 - MV)/10]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.0375 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 30 + [(1,000 - MV)/10]
0.0375 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 30 + 100 - 0.1MV
18.75 + 0.01875MV = 130 - 0.1MV
0.11875V = 111.25
MV = 111.25 / 0.11875 = $936.84

Quantitative Problem: Jenna is a single taxpayer with no dependents so she qualifies for one personal exemption. During 2013, she earned wages of $126,000. She doesn't itemized deductions, so she will take the standard deduction and her personal exemption to calculate 2013 taxable income.

total tax liability = $25,773.25 + $1,125 = $26,898.25
