Answer: 0.51

Explanation:

Nominal rate = 1.85%

Inflation rate = 1.90%

Real rate of return = (1 + nominal rate / 1 +inflation rate) - 1

Real rate of return = ((1 + 0.0185) / (1 + 0.019)) - 1

= (1.0185 / 1.019) - 1

= 0.9995 - 1 = - 0.0005

Therefore, the real dollar return I. $1,020 equals

0.0005 × 1020 = 0.51

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Years to maturity       Price of Bond C            Price of Bond Z

         4                               $1,084.42                       $711.03

         3                               $1,065.93                       $774.31

         2                               $1,045.80                      $843.23

         1                                $1,023.88                       $918.27

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel for the calculations of the prices of Bond C and Bond Z.

The price of each bond of the bond can be calculated using the following excel function:

Bond price = -PV(rate, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)

Where;

rate = Yield to maturity of each of the bonds

NPER = Years to maturity

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value

FV = Face value

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1) for each of the Years to Maturity and inputting them into relevant cells in the attached excel sheet, we have:

Years to maturity       Price of Bond C            Price of Bond Z

         4                               $1,084.42                       $711.03

         3                               $1,065.93                       $774.31

         2                               $1,045.80                      $843.23

         1                                $1,023.88                       $918.27

Other things held constant, which of the following events is most likely to encourage a firm to increase the amount of debt in i
True [87]

Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: The corporate tax rate increases.

If there is an increase in the corporate tax rate then this will induce the firms to increase the amount of their debt. This is due to the fact that the firms with more debt are going to pay less tax because of the large interest expense. Due to large interest expenses, their income before tax reduces.

Hence, large corporate taxes encourage firms to increase the amount of debt. Therefore, the firms with no debt pays higher taxes than the firms with higher amount of debt.
