koban [17]

Answer:

d. 5.14%.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the best estimate of the after-tax cost of debt.

First step

Based on the information given we would make use of rate formula in excel.

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

Where,

nper= coupon every six months for 20 years = 40 coupon payments

Pmt =$1000*7.25%*6/12=$36.25

Pv = $875

Fv =$1000

Let plug in the formula

=rate(40,36.25,-875,1000)=4.28% semiannually

=4.28% *2=8.56% annually

Now let calculate the after tax cost of debt using this formula

After tax cost of debt=8.56%*(1-t)

Where,

t represent tax rate of 40%

Let plug in the formula

After tax cost of debt=8.56%*(1-0.4)

After tax cost of debt=5.14%

Therefore the best estimate of the after-tax cost of debt is 5.14%

RT is about to loan his granddaughter Cynthia $10,000 for 1 year. RT’s TVOM, based upon his current investment earnings, is 12%,
qaws [65]

Answer:

They should not be able to successfully negotiate the terms of this loan within these parameters.

Explanation:

It has been provided that RT earns 12% on his current investments and would not like to receive an interest rate of less than 12% on the loan he gives.

if RT gives a loan of $10,000 for one year, he would charge an interest rate of minimum 12%.  

Interest = $10,000*0.12

             = $1,200

RT requires $1,200 in interest.

It has been provided that Cynthia earns 8% on her investment.

If she borrows $10,000 and invests the amount for one year, she can earn 8% return on such amount.  

Earning = $10,000*0.08

             = $800

Cynthia is going to earn $800

RT requires a minimum of $1,200 as interest for 1-year loan he gives while Cynthia can pay a maximum of $10,000 as interest for 1-year loan she takes. there is mismatch between the minimum expectation to receive of lender and the maximum expectation to pay of borrower.

Therefore, They should not be able to successfully negotiate the terms of this loan within these parameters.
