Answer:

Ans. The after tax cost of this debt is 4.8526% annual.

Explanation:

Hi, first we have to establish the amount to pay for each coupon. In our case, the coupon is paid semi-annually, so the coupon is:

Coupon=\frac{CouponRate}{2} *100=\frac{0.057}{2} *100=2.85

we also need to take into account that this is an eight years bond, we need to change years into semesters, so 8 years = 16 semesters.

We´re going to need MS Excel to find this value (Function "IRR"), Please see the attached excel sheet for further clarifications.

This is what it should look like

Price  97,8  

Coupon  5,70% annual

Coupon  0,0285 semi-annual

taxes  21%  

time             8 years

time            16 semesters

Period Cash Flow

     0 97,8

      1 -2,85

      2 -2,85

      3 -2,85

      4 -2,85

      5 -2,85

      6 -2,85

      7 -2,85

      8 -2,85

      9 -2,85

     10 -2,85

     11 -2,85

     12 -2,85

    13 -2,85

    14 -2,85

    15 -2,85

    16 -102,85

Using the "IRR" function, we get 3.0255%, but this discount rate is semi-annual, and the answer we are looking for has to be effective annual, therefore, we need to use the followiong formula.

r(Annual)=(1+0.030255)^{2 } -1=0.061425

So our discount rate (cost of this debt) before taxes is 6.1425% annual. In order to find the after tax cost of this debt, we have to use the following formula.

AfterTaxCost=Before TaxCost(1-Taxes)=0.061425*(1-0.21)=0.048526

Therefore, the after tax cost of this debt is 4.8526% annual.

Best of luck.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

performance of a contract

Explanation:

When you enter a contract you can perform your part of the contract, not perform your part of the contract or partially perform your part of the contract. In legal terms, there is no such thing as over performance.

in this case, Zack performed his part of the contract. Him making a slightly higher deposit or getting the inspection done before the due date, will not alter the total consideration of the contract, e.g. selling price will remain unchanged and the house will be the same one.

Ber [7]

Answer:

Stock Price is $98.70

Explanation:

given data

exercise price = $100 per share

call price = $25 per share

put price = $17 per share

mature time = 2 years

annual rate of interest = 5%

to find out

What is the stock price today

solution

we will use here Put Call Parity for find out Stock Price that is express as

C + \frac{100}{(1+r)^t} = S + P    .....................1

here C is call price and r is rate and t is time and S is Stock Price and P is put price so put all value in equation 1

C + \frac{100}{(1+r)^t} = S + P

25 + \frac{100}{(1+0.5)^2} = S + 17

solve it we get

P = $98.70

so Stock Price is $98.70

Answer: The cases in which the Review Commission renders decisions arise from inspections conducted by a Federal agency separate from the Review Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is a part of the Department of Labor. OSHRC, or the Review Commission, and OSHA were created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, but the Act mandated that the Review Commission be an independent agency (i.e., not part of another Federal department) to ensure that parties to agency cases receive impartial hearings.
