True or false? the internal revenue code forbids nonprofit hospitals to make a profit.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

A. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds?

Laurel, Inc. = -8.11%

Hardy Corp. = -18.91%

B. If interest rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of these bonds be then?

Laurel, Inc. = +8.98%

Hardy Corp. = +25.49%

Explanation:

bonds with 6% semiannual coupons, sold at par $1,000

Laurel, Inc. bond maturity in 5 years

Hardy Corp. bond maturity in 18 years

the current price of a bond is the sum of the present value of its face value and coupons. I will use an annuity table to calculate PV of face value and an ordinary annuity table for the coupons:

Laurel, Inc.

market rate 4% = ($1,000 x 0.8203) + ($30 x 8.9826) = $820.30 + $269.48 = $1,089.78, % change = 89.78/1,000 = 8.98%

market rate 8% = ($1,000 x 0.6756) + ($30 x 8.1109) = $675.60 + $243.33 = $918.93, % change = -81.07/1,000 = -8.11%

Hardy Corp.

market rate 4% = ($1,000 x 0.4902) + ($30 x 25.489) = $490.20 + $764.67 = $1,254.87, % change = 254.87/1,000 = 25.49%

market rate 8% = ($1,000 x 0.2437) + ($30 x 18.908) = $243.70 + $567.24 = $810.94, % change = -189.06/1,000 = -18.91%

Kenny Electric Company's noncallable bonds were issued several years ago and now have 20 years to maturity. These bonds have a 9

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

d. 5.08%

Explanation:

We have to first calculate the YTM of the bond, and then apply the tax shield.

To get the YTM we have to calculate the rate of return of an annuity of 46.25 for 20 years compounding semiannually at IRR rate and the present value of the face value redeem in 20 years.

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} +Face\:Value/(1+rate)^{time}= PV\\$

$46.25 \times \frac{1-(1+IRR/2)^{-20*2} }{rate} + 1000/(1+IRR)^{20}= 1075\\$

IRR = 0.084656891 (it should be done using financial calculator or excel or a similar software program)

then we apply the shield tax to the IRR:

IRR x (1 - tax-rate) = Cost of debt

0.084656891 * ( 1 - 0.4) = 5.0794= 5.08

Assume the materials cost to produce 1,000 units was $390,000. what would the materials cost be per unit and in total to produce

Rina8888 [55]

The cost per unit is $390.

The total cost of producing 2,000 units is $780,000.

<h3>What is the total cost?</h3>

The cost per unit is known as the average cost of production. In order to determine average cost, divide the total cost by the total unit produced.

Average cost = total cost / total unit

$390,000 /1000 = $390

The total cost of producing 2000 units = average cost x number of units

$390 x 2000 = $780,000
