Answer:
a. Increase
Explanation:
The price earnings ratio is calculated by dividing the market value per share by the earning per share. This means that the price of the share is in the numerator and the earnings per share is in the denominator. If the denominator increases the ratio will decrease and if the numerator increases the ratio will increase. In this case the price of the stock which is the numerator increases from 15 to 18 whereas the earnings which is the denominator remains the same, this means that the price earnings ratio will increase. We can see this example numerically
We know the price of the stock was $15, lets assume the earnings were $1. So before the price change the earnings per share ratio would be 15/1= 15.
When price increases to $18 and earnings remain the same the new price earnings ratio will be 18/1=18. This proves that when earnings are constant and price per share increases the price earning ratio increases.
Answer:
390 F
Explanation:
Spending variance is defined as the difference between the actual expenses and planned expenses. It is favorable when the actual expenses is less than planned and vice versa.
Operating cost $3000
Maintenance per snow day - $330
Budgeted snow day - 24
Actual snow day - 26
Actual operating cost - $11,190
Variance
((330*26)+3000 =11580
Actual operating cost = 11,190
Variance = 11580-11190= 390 F
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of price (expressed as a percentage of the face value) is shown below:-
Price = Face value ÷ (1 + Yield to maturity)^Number of the compounding period
= $1,000 ÷ (1 + 0.0323)^1
= $1,000 ÷ 1.0323
= $968.71
Price expected as a percentage to a face value = Price ÷ Face value × 100
= $968.71 ÷ $1,000 × 100
= 96.87%
b. The computation of credit spread of AAA-rated corporate bonds is shown below:-
Credit spread = Yield of AAA-rated corporate bond - Yield of treasury bond
= 3.23% - 3.15%
= 0.08%
c. The computation of credit spread on B-rated corporate bonds is shown below:-
Credit spread = Yield of B-rated corporate bond - Yeld of treasury bond
= 4.94% - 3.15%
= 1.79%
d. The credit rating for a bond changes with its respective credit risk change. That implies the bond 's rating would be lower the lower risk, and likewise.
The investor is demanding higher returns on risky bonds for additional risk-taking. Hence the credit spread is widening as the rating of bonds falls with an increase in the risk.
