Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annua

l coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 20 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 7.8 percent paid annually. what is the current price of the bond?

Answer:

Market Price $985.01

Explanation:

We have to convert the US semiannually rate to annually.

(1 + 0.078/2)^{2} -1 = 0.079521

Now this is the annual rate spected for a similar US Bonds

So we are going to calculate the present value using this rate.

Present value of an annuity of 78 for 20 years at 7.9521%

C * \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

78 * \frac{1-(1+0.079521)^{-20} }{0.079521} = PV\\

PV = 768.55

And we need to add the present value ofthe 1,000 euros at this rate

\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} = Present Value}

\frac{1,000}{(1 + 0.079521)^{20} = Present Value }

Present Value = 216.4602211

Adding those two values together

$985.01

The reasoning behind this is that an american investor will prefer at equal price an US bonds because it compounds interest twice a year over the German Bonds.

Marla made a spreadsheet in Excel showing the projected costs for a concert she was putting on. What can Marla enter into cell A
aliina [53]

Marla will use the formula to find the updated cost.

=A2-A4-A6-A8-A10

Because A2 is budget and A4, A6, A8 and A10 all are expenses. So she has to budget-all expenses.

So option A=A2-A4-A6-A8-A10 is true.

Avicorp has a $15.5 million debt issue outstanding, with a 6.3% coupon rate. The debt has semi-annual coupons, the next coupon i
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

a) Pre-tax cost of debt is 8.45%

b) After tax cost of debt is 5.07%

Explanation:

a) Given:

Debt issue outstanding = $15.5 million

Semi-annual coupon rate = 0.063 / 2 = 0.0315

Assumed par value (FV) = $1,000

Coupon payment (pmt) = 0.0315 × 1000 = $31.5

Current bond price (PV) = 92% of $1,000 = $920

Time period (nper) = 5 × 2 = 10 periods

Calculate semi-annual rate using  spreadsheet function =Rate(nper,pmt,PV,FV)

Semi-annual rate = 4.14%

Pmt and FV are negative as they are cash outflows.

YTM = 4.14 × 2 = 8.28%

Effective annual rate = (1+\frac{Rate}{compounding\ periods}) ^{2} -1

                                   = (1+\frac{0.0828}{2}) ^{2} -1

                                   = 0.0845 or 8.45%

b) Tax rate is 40%

After tax cost of debt = Pre tax cost of debt × (1 - 0.4)

                                    = 0.0845 × 0.6

                                    = 0.0507 or 5.07%

Harvey Automobiles uses a standard part in the manufacture of several of its trucks. The cost of producing 60,000 parts is $160,
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

$55,000

Explanation:

The computation of the change in operating income is shown below:

= Buying cost - making cost

where,

Buying cost = Cost of producing parts × outside supplier per unit

                    = 60,000 parts × $3

                    = $180,000

And, the making cost would be

= Variable cost + fixed cost × given percentage

= $110,000 + $50,000 × 30%

= $110,000 + $15,000

= $125,000

So, the operating income would be

= $180,000 - $125,000

= $55,000

Given
Usimov [2.4K]

Total interest=$489.58

Balance after 100th day=$5,819.44

Balance after 180th day=$2,448.77

Final payment=$2,489.58

Compute the total interest, the balances on the 100th and 180th days as well as the final payment of the loan?

In the first place, ordinary interest means simple interest, in other words, the simple interest approach would be used in computing the interest due at every point in time.

Interest=loan balance*interest rate*number of days that interest is due/360 days

Interest on 100th day=$11,500*10%*100/360

Interest on 100th day=$319.444444

balance after 100th day=initial principal+ interest-partial payment

balance after 100th day=$11,500+$319.444444 -$6,000

balance after 100th day=$5,819.444444

Note it has been 80 days since the payment of the last interest on 100th

interest on 180th day=$5819.444444 *10%*80/360

interest on 180th day=$129.320988

balance of the loan on the 180th day=$5,819.444444+$129.320988-$3,500

balance of the loan on the 180th day=$2,448.765432

The final payment would be the balance as of the 180th day plus the interest for the last 60 days(180th-240th)

final interest=$2,448.765432*10%*60/360

final interest =$40.812757

Final payment=$2,448.765432+$40.812757

Final payment=$2,489.58

Total interest=$319.444444+$129.320988+$40.812757

Total interest=$489.58

On December 31, 2017, Ball Company leased a machine from Cook for a 10-year period, expiring December 30, 2027. Annual payments
puteri [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

A capital lease is a lease arrangement in which the lessor agrees to transfer the ownership of an asset to the lessee at the completion of the lease period. During the leasing contract , the lease is treated like an asset in the company's balance sheet

Lease liability at inception =                             676,000

Annual payment  made on December 2017 =(100,000)

Balance lease liability on 2017                        = 576,000

Lease liability on December 2018

Balance on 2017                                                =576,000

Factor in 10% discount on lease payment

100,000 - (576,000*10%)= 100,000-57,600 =   (42,400)

Balance on lease liability =                                  533,600

The current liability portion =

Factoring in the 10% discount =

100,000 - (533,600*10%) = 100,000 - 53,360 =  46,640
