Answer: c. earns a higher return than the rate paid on debt.
Explanation:
If the debt that the company incurs leads to the company making more money than they are paying as interest for the debt, then more money will be available as net income which would increase the Return on Equity.
ROE is calculated by dividing the Net Income by Shareholder equity. Interest is an expense. If this expense is lower then the increase in net income as a result of the debt then it follows that net income would increase and so would ROE.
Answer:
a. $181.17
b. $218.82
c. $319.21
Explanation:
If the borrower repays the loan after 2 year
PV = $150
n = 2
r = 9.9%
P/yr = 1
Pmt = $0
FV = ?
Using a financial calculator, FV = $181.1702
The amount that will be due if the borrower repays the loan after 2 year is $181.17.
If the borrower repays the loan after 4 years
PV = $150
n = 4
r = 9.9%
P/yr = 1
Pmt = $0
FV = ?
Using a financial calculator, FV = $218.8175
The amount that will be due if the borrower repays the loan after 2 year is $218.82.
If the borrower repays the loan after 8 years
PV = $150
n = 8
r = 9.9%
P/yr = 1
Pmt = $0
FV = ?
Using a financial calculator, FV = $319.2073
The amount that will be due if the borrower repays the loan after 2 year is $319.21.
Answer:
Average rate of return= 10.17
%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Explanation:
<em>Geometric average return</em>
This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .
Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility
The formula below
Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n
Geometric Average return =
(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168
Geometric return =0.0923
× 100= 9.23%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Average rate of return
<em>The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns</em>
Average return = sum of return / No of returns
(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17
%
Average rate of return= 10.17
%
Geometric return = 9.23%
