(d) Oracles $1,250 million 6.5% notes traded at 136.78 as of August 10, 2019. What is the market value of these notes on that date? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
(e) How is the difference between this market value and the $1,250 million face value reflected in Oracles financial statements?
a - The balance sheet is unaffected, but the income statement reflects increases (decreases) in interest rates as increases (decreases) in interest expense.
b - The current market value of the notes is reflected in the balance sheet as an increase (decrease) in liabilities if rates have declined (increased).
c - Only the statement of cash flows is affected as cash is needed to retire the liabilities when they mature.
d - The current market value of the notes is not reflected in Oracle's balance sheet.
(f) What does the 136.78 price tell you about the general trend in interest rates since Oracle sold this bond issue?
a- The price of the bonds is unrelated to the general level of interest rates, only the rate of interest on Oracle's debt. Because that hasn't changed, other causes must be considered.
b - Because these notes have increased in value subsequent to their issuance, market interest rates must have decreased.
c - The market price of the debt relates only to investor's expectations about the general condition of the airline industry and is unaffected by the level of interest rates.
d - Because these notes have declined in value subsequent to their issuance, market interest rates must have increased.
