Answer:

A) the implied 1 year forward rates respectively 9,8 , 11,81 and 13,83 according to the formular

Explanation:

b) pure expactations true then

1.108²/1.098 - 1 =11.81% for a two year bond

1.118²/1.108 - 1 = 12.81% for a three year bond

The answere: The will be a shift upwards in next years curve.

c) Assume a par of 1000

in the next year a two year zero coupon bond will be a year zero and sell at 1000/1.1181 = 894.37 to get the return we take divide selling prices at year zero the trading price according to ytm is 1000/1.108² =814.55

therefore expected return  894.37/814.55= 9.79%

c2 the zero coupon bond at three year zero is trading at 1000/1.1282 = 886.446 and according to the ytm the coupon is trading at 1000/13.83^3= 715.607

therefore the expected return is

785.711/715.607=9.79%

You are given the following information concerning Parrothead Enterprises: Debt: 9,300 7.4 percent coupon bonds outstanding, wit
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

a. Cost of debt = 5.03%.

b. Cost of equity = 11.47%

c. Cost of preferred stock = 4.90%

Explanation:

a. Calculation of cost of debt

The bond's Yield to Maturity is the before tax cost of debt and it can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) * 2 .............(1)

Where;

YTM = yield to maturity = ?

nper = number of periods = number of semiannuals to maturity = Number of years * Number of semiannuals in a year = 21 * 2 = 42

r = semiannual coupon rate = Annual coupon rate / 2 = 7.4% / 2 = 0.074 / 2 = 0.037

pmt = semiannual coupon payment = semiannual coupon rate * Face value = 0.037 * $2,000 = $74 = 74

pv = present value = quoted bond price = 108.75% * fv = 108.75% * 2000 = 2,175 = 2175

fv = face value or par value of the bond = 2000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

YTM = RATE(42,74,-2175,2000) * 2 ............ (2)

Inputting =RATE(42,74,-2175,2000)*2 into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 6.62%.

Therefore, we have:

After tax cost of debt = YTM * (100% - Tax rate) = 6.62% * (100% - 24%) = 5.03%

Therefore, cost of debt is 5.03%.

b. Calculation of cost of equity

Based on the information in the question, the return on equity can be calculated using the dividend discount model and capital asset pricing model (CAPM) formulae.

b-1. Using the dividend discount model formula, we have:

P = D1 / (r – g) ………………………. (3)

Where:

P = Common stock selling price per share = $66.40

D1 = Next year dividend = $4.60

r = return on equity = ?

g = dividend growth rate = 5.4%, or 0.054

Substituting the value into equation (3) and solve for r, we have:

66.40 = 4.60 / (r – 0.054)

66.40(r – 0.054) = 4.60

66.40r - 3.5856 = 4.60

66.40r = 4.60 + 3.5856

66.40r = 8.1856

r = 8.1856 / 66.40

r = 0.1233, or 12.33%

b-2. Using CAMP formula, cost of equity can be calculated as follows:

Return on equity = Risk free rate + Stock beta(Expected return – Risk free rate) = 4.55% + (1.09 * (10.1% - 4.55%)) = 10.60%

b-3. The cost of equity can therefore be calculated as the average of the returns of equity from the two formulae is as follows:

Cost of equity = (12.33% + 10.60%) / 2 = 11.47%

c. Calculation of cost preferred stock

Note that since the preferred stock selling price per share is $95.90, it indicates that it par value is $100 and is being sold at a discount. Therefore, we have:

Cost of preferred stock = (Preferred stock dividend rate * Preferred stock par value) / Preferred stock selling price per share = (4.70% * 100) / 95.90 = 0.0490, or 4.90%

Murljashka [212]

An inferior good is a type of welfare whose demand decreases when consumer income increases or demand increases when consumer income decreases. Therefore, if a consumer considers shirts to be inferior goods, the way he will stop consuming it will be when there is a real increase in his income.

In the case narrated, Alex had an increase in salary and remained working for the same number of hours. This means that with the same job, he will have a higher income, meaning there was a real increase in Alex's income. If he considers the $ 3 shirts a much lower asset, he will lessen the demand for it.
