I'm looking for assistance on the answers for this, but with explanations on how to get them, because I'm trying to understand it. Thanks! !

Instructions: Using the company and market information provided below, complete the following two tabs in this MS Excel Workbook: - Computation of the estimated current fair value of the note issued by the company in 20X3 - Computation of the estimated current fair value of the company's "portfolio" of debt (notes and bonds) outstanding, as reported in its fiscal year end (FYE) 20X4 balance sheet The background papers, Present Value Concepts and Bond Valuation, and Financial Statement Concepts and Financial Reporting provide useful guidance for completing this assignment. Based on the results of your computed estimate of the fair value of the company's debt "portfolio" (the second tab following this one) and the additional information provided below, indicate (i) the apparent total fair value ($US) of assets unrecognized or under-valued in the FYE 20X4 balance sheet and (ii) the possible kinds or categories of assets that could be unrecognized or under-valued and the apparent reasons for this. (In formulating your response, it may be helpful to review pages 17 - 18 of the background paper, Present Value Concepts and Bond Valuation, including the illustration on those pages and pages 38 and 41 - 47 of the background paper, Financial Statement Concepts and Financial Reporting.) Limit the length of your response to 150 words. Replace the text in this cell with your response.
