You observe the following term structure: Effective Annual YTM 1-year zero-coupon bond 5.2 % 2-year zero-coupon bond 5.3 3-year

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. If you believe that the term structure next year will be the same as today’s, calculate the return on (i) the 1-year zero and (ii) the 4-year zero.

b. Which bond provides a greater expected 1-year return? O 1-year zero-coupon bond O 4-year zero-coupon bond

The return on one year bond is = 5.2%

The price of 4 year bond today

$=\frac{ 1000}{ (1.055)^4}$

Price of 4 year bond today = 807.22

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be

$=\frac{ 1000}{(1.054)^3}$

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be = 854.04

Return

$=\frac{ (854.04 - 807.22)}{807.22}$

Return = 5.8%

The longer term bond has given the higher return in this case at it's YTM fell during the holding period(4 -year)

firm's cost of equity

solution

we get here cost of equity by apply price equation that is express as

Price = recent dividend × ( 1 + growth rate ) ÷ ( cost of equity - growth rate) .....................1

Suppose that a lumberyard has a supply of 10-ft boards, which are cut into 3-ft, 4-ft, and 5-ft boards according to customer dem

Alja [10]

Answer :

Some answers are attached below

Explanation:

a) Based on the information provided, below are the all possible sensible patterns the lumberyard may use to cut the 10-ft boards -

Pattern Number 3-ft boards 4-ft boards 5-ft boards Waste (<3-ft)

1 3 0 0 1

2 2 1 0 0

3 1 0 1 2

4 0 1 1 1

5 0 2 0 2

6 0 0 2 0

b) ILP Formulation

Objective Function

Minimize Number of 10 ft-boards to be cut

Z = x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6 where xi is the number of boards for pattern i

subject to constraints -

3x1+2x2+x3>=90 ----> 3-ft boards

x2+x4+2x5>=60 ----->4-ft boards

x3+x4+2x6>=60 ----->5-ft boards

Xi>=0 ---->Non-negativity constraint

Below is the excel solver formulation and solution -

The optimal number of Pattern 1,5,6 =0, Pattern 2,3 and 4 = 30

The minimum number of 10 ft-boards to be cut = 90
