All else constant, explain why the present value decreases as the discount rate increases.

1 answer:

6 0

A rise in the discount rate cuts the present value factor and the present value. This is for the reason that a higher interest rate means you would have to set a smaller amount aside today to earn a specified amount in the future. A decrease in the time period increases the present value factor and increases the present value. In other words, when you earn more interest, you can capitalize less money today to have the same amount at a given point in the future.

Answer:

9.72%

Explanation:

Maturity = 34

Par-value = -1000

Coupon rate = 6%

Coupon PMT = -60

Value of bond = 1152

Semi-annual Yield = Rate(34, -60, 1162, -1000, 0, 0)

Semi-annual Yield = 5.00%

Annual Yield = 10%

Tax rate = 40%

After tax cost of debt = 10*(1-0.4)= 6%: Add: Flotation cost (5%) = 11%

Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/Price = 12/120 = 10%

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium

Cost of equity = 3.72 + 0.94*6

Cost of equity = 9.36%

A newspaper headline writer found that the more adjectives she put in the titles of her articles, the greater the number of news

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Positive.

Explanation:

A linear function has a positive relationship and as such an increase in one variable (input variable) causes an increase in the other variable (output variable) i.e the variables are directly proportional. Thus, the graph of a linear function is a straight-line and its slope is always constant.

On the other hand, nonlinear function has a negative relationship and as such an increase in one variable (input variable) causes a decrease in the other variable (output variable) i.e the variables are inversely proportional.

This ultimately implies that, the graph of a nonlinear function is a curved line and whose direction is constantly changing

In this scenario, the relationship between numbers of adjectives and newspaper sales must be positive because the higher the amount of adjectives put in the titles of her articles, the greater the number of newspapers that would be sold on a particular day.
