Webster University sold bonds with a 25-year maturity, paying an annual coupon rate of 10% that come with 20 warrants attached to each bond. These bonds were issued at $1,000 par value. Currently in the market, bonds similar to the ones that Webster University sold are yielding 12%. What would be the valued amount for the warrants that Webster University’s issued? $5.96 $6.46 $6.94 $7.42 $7.84

2.Mr. Smith faces a federal marginal tax rate of 28 percent. His adjusted gross income in 1992 was $37,500. Which of the following statements is most likely to be correct, based on the information you have here?

3.Under the current federal individual income tax law, which of the following would be an exclusion?

4.The individual income tax became a permanent feature (at least so far) of the federal tax structure in:

5.The federal government may levy an individual income tax without the need to apportion among states because:

The previous problem demonstrates that removing individual differences can substantially reduce variance and lower the standard error. However, this benefit only occurs if the individual differences are consistent across treatment conditions. In problem 21, for example, the participants with the highest scores in the more-sleep condition also had the highest scores in the less-sleep condition. Similarly, participants with the lowest scores in the first condition also had the lowest scores in the second condition. To construct the following data, we started with the scores in problem 21 and scrambled the scores in treatment 1 to eliminate the consistency of the individual differences.

a. Treat the data as if the scores are from an independent-measures study using two separate samples, each with n = 8 participants. Compute the pooled variance, the estimated standard error for the mean difference, and the independent-measures t statistic. Using a two-tailed test with α = .05, is there a significant difference between the two sets of scores? Note: The scores in each treatment are the same as in Problem 21. Nothing has changed.

b. Now assume that the data are from a repeated measures study using the same sample of n = 8 participants in both treatment conditions. Compute the variance for the sample of difference scores, the estimated standard error for the mean difference and the repeated-measures t statistic. Using a two-tailed test with α = .05, is there a significant difference between the two sets of scores? (You should find that removing the individual differences with a repeated-measures t no longer reduces the variance because there are no consistent individual differences.)

When most of us think of Amazon, we think about what we, as consumers, can buy there— currently, just about anything. But Amazon is much more than just a company that supplies consumers with books, household products, clothing, and so forth. Describe Amazon's business-to business (B2B) transactions.

Execusmart Consultants has provided business consulting services for several years. The company has been using the percentage of credit sales method to estimate bad debts but switched at the end of the first quarter this year to the aging of accounts receivable method. The company entered into the following partial list of transactions.

1. During January, the company provided services for $230,000 on credit.
2. On January 31, the company estimated bad debts using 1 percent of credit sales.
3. On February 4, the company collected $115,000 of accounts receivable.
4. On February 15, the company wrote off a $650 account receivable.
5. During February, the company provided services for $180,000 on credit.
6. On February 28, the company estimated bad debts using 1 percent of credit sales.
7. On March 1, the company loaned $15,000 to an employee, who signed a 10% note due in 3 months.
8. On March 15, the company collected $650 on the account written off one month earlier.
9. On March 31, the company accrued interest earned on the note.
10. On March 31, the company adjusted for uncollectible accounts, based on the following aging analysis, which includes the preceding transactions (as well as others not listed). Prior to the adjustment, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had an unadjusted credit balance of $6,600.

Required:

1. For items (a)–(j), analyze the amount and direction (+ or –) of effects on specific financial statement accounts and the overall accounting equation. TIP: In item (j), you must first calculate the desired ending balance before adjusting the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter any decreases to Assets, Liabilities, or Stockholders Equity with a minus sign.)

2. Prepare the journal entries for items (a)–(j). (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

3. Show how Accounts Receivable, Notes Receivable, and their related accounts would be reported in the current assets section of a classified balance sheet at the end of the quarter on March 31.

4. Sales Revenue and Service Revenue are two income statement accounts that relate to Accounts Receivable. Name two other accounts related to Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable that would be reported on the income statement and indicate whether each would appear before, or after, Income from Operations.

The DuPont Identity helps us to better understand why a firm might have a poor ROE (Return on Equity).  We can write the DuPont Identity as follows:

ROE = (Net Income / Sales)(Sales / Assets)(Assets / Owner's Equity)

Based on this, which of the following statements are true?

Select one:

a. If Sales remained constant but Net Income fell, the ROE would rise, ceteris paribus (all else remaining equal)

b. If Sales remained constant but the firm sold off half of its Assets, the ROE would rise, ceteris paribus (Assume that the Equity Multiplier remains constant)

c. If Assets remain constant but Owner’s Equity goes up, the ROE would rise, ceteris paribus.

d. All of the above statements are true

e. None of the above statements are true.
