Answer:

Firstly, the question doesn't say anything about the frequency of coupon payment. Using trial and error method, based on the answer, I figured out that it pays semi-annual coupon payments.

Value of the bond = PV(rate = 7.5%/2, nper = 8*2, pmt = 91.25/2, fv = 1000, 0) = $1,096.45

Current Price = $1,172.50

Over valued by $76.05

F 1What is the yield to maturity on a 10-year, 9% annual coupon, $1,000 par value bond that sells for $887.00? That sells for $1
Llana [10]

Answer:

When the bond is sale at premium, it means the market rate is lower than coupon rate. So investor purchase the bond a higher price until the bond yield equal the market rate

If sold at discount, the market rate is higher than coupon rate. This means it's sold below face value to increase the bond yield to market rate.

YTM if market price is 887 =  10.7366190%

YTM if market price is 1,134.2= 7.1764596%

Explanation:

For the YTM we can calculate an estimated using the following formula:

YTM = \frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n }}{\frac{F+P}{2}}

Where:

C= coupon payment 1,000 x 9% = 90

F= face value of the bonds = 1000

P= market price = 887

n= years to maturity = 10

YTM =  10.7366190%

YTM = \frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n }}{\frac{F+P}{2}}

C= 90

F= 1000

P= 1134.2

n= 10

YTM = 7.1764596%

A more precise answer can be achieve using excle or a financial calculator.

A dressmaker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labor. Another dressmaker can sew 400 garments wit
faust18 [17]

Answer:

No, because the second method has lower total costs of production.

Explanation:

In a bid to make profits businesses must always compare different processes and choose the cheapest one.

This will eventually reflect in the profitability of the business.

In this instance let's get the cost of each process.

Fabric costs $110 a bolt and labor costs $20 an hour.

The first dress maker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labour

Total cost = (100 bolts * 110) + (1500 * 20)

Total cost = $41,000

For the second dress maker he can sew 400 garments with 150 bolts of fabric and 1,000 hours of identical labour

Total cost = (150 *110) + (1000 * 20)

Total cost = $36,500

As can be seen the second dressmaker has a lower cost of production so he is more efficient than the first dress maker

he next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $2.34 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4.
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The Required Return is 10.82%.

Explanation:

The Dividends Model for the Constant Growth is given below:

                                          P0 = D1 / (Ke - g)

Arranging the above equation for "Ke", that is the Required Return:

                                      ⇒ Ke = (D1 / P0) + g

Putting Values and we get:

Required Return = Ke = (2.34 / 37) + .045 = .1082 = 10.82%.

Thanks!
