Answer: 7.43%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity simply refers to the total return that is expected on a bond as long as the bond is held till it matures.
In this case, since the investor is indifferent between this municipal bond and an otherwise identical taxable corporate bond, the yield to maturity of the corporate bond will be:
4.83% = Corporate bond YTM × ( 1- 35%)
4.83% = Corporate bond YTM × 65%
Corporate bond YTM = 4.83% / 65%
Corporate bond YTM = 0.0483/0.65
Corporate bond YTM = 7.43%
The yield to maturity of the corporate bond is 7.43%
Answer:
Is irrelevant in decision making
Explanation:
Since the suck cost is the cost that no longer is recovered so it should not be a factor to consider when making a decision. For example, you have bought a cinema ticket for this evening, but it is heavily rainy so you may get sick if you go to the cinema. The fact that you have paid for this ticket should not consider whether to go or stay home since you can not get this amount of money no matter what happens.

Answer:
$88,150
Explanation:
DINK method for insurance sums one half of all the debt plus funeral expenses. Thus,
Using DINK method
One half of mortgage, 140,000 = 70000
One half of car loan, 14000 = 7000
One half of personal debts, 4800 = 2400
One half of credit card loans, 3500 = 1750
Funeral expenses = 7000
Thus
Total insurance needed =
70000 + 7000 +2400 + 1750 + 7000
= $88,150
Note that, when using DINK method, what the spouse earn isn't used in calculating total insurance.
