Summary Introduction

Financial Statements:

Financial statements are the accounting reports of any organization that are prepared with a purpose to disclose its past performance and also the assets and liabilities of the company along with the finances. These statements are prepared either on an annual basis or on a quarterly basis.

Balance Sheet The balance sheet represents the financial position of a company for a particular time period. It is a very important part of the financial statement that shows what the company presently owns and how much liability do they have. The balance sheet basically has three broad headings of its contents namely, liability, asset and the shareholder’s equity. The formula of the balance sheet is written as under:

Profit and Loss Account − The profit and loss account represents the financial performance of an organization for a particular time period. It provides a summary of all the revenues of the firm along with the expenses and cost for a particular fiscal time period.

Cash Flow Statement − The cash flow statement represents the amount of cash that flows in and out of a business for a particular time period. It is mostly prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The cash flow statement considers the fact that the net profit which a company earns in a year is not necessarily in the form of cash. It can be in the form of other assets as well like the receivables, inventory and so on. Therefore, the cash flow statement represents the total amount of cash that moves into a business organization.

Changes In The Shareholder’s Equity − The changes in the shareholder’s equity represents the changes in the amount of the retained earnings of a company. Retained earnings are those earnings that are left after paying the dividend. From the net income that a company earns, it might or might not pay out the dividends to the shareholders. If the company pays the dividend, the amount that is left is the retained earnings for the company which it uses for further company development and growth. If the company doesn’t pay out the dividend, the entire amount is considered to be the retained earnings for the company.

As an investor looking for protection against inflation, you are considering the purchase of inflation-adjusted bonds known as U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). With these securities, the face value (which is paid at maturity) and the bond interest rate (which is paid semiannually) is regularly adjusted to account for inflation. However, for this problem only, assume the semi-annual interest payment (called the bond dividend) remains the same. You purchased a 10-year $10,000 TIPS bond with dividend of 4% per year payable semiannually (i.e., $200 every 6 months). Assume there is no inflation adjustment for the first 5 years, but in years 6 through 10, the bond face value increases by $850 each year. You use an expected investment return of 11% per year compounded semiannually. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an…
