yanalaym [24]

Answer:Yield to maturity is 9.59%;  After tax cost of debt =7.672%

Explanation:

 A)   Yield to maturity ={ C + (FV-PV)/t} /  {(FV +PV)/2}

Where C – Interest payment    = $90

FV – Face value of the security

= $1000

PV – Present value/curent market value = $960

t – years it takes the security to reach maturity= 10 years

imputing the values and calculating,

yield to maturity ={ C + (FV-PV)/t} /  {(FV +PV)/2}

= $90 + (1000-960)/10} / 1000 + 960 /2

$90 + 4= $94 /980= 0.0959

therefore Yield to maturity is 9.59%

B)   After tax cost of debt =    Yield To Maturity  x (1 - tax rate)

=9.59% x (1-20%)= 9.59% x (1-0.2 )= 9.59% x 0.8 =

9.59 % x 80%=7.672%

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The weighted-average unit contribution margin is $4.50 per unit.

Explanation:

Weighted Average contribution margin is the average contribution margin of all products company sells.

Sale

Product J = 7,400

Product B = 6,500

Unit contribution margin

Product J = $2.9

Product B = $6.3

Contribution of Product J = 7,400 x $2.9 = $21,460

Contribution of Product B = 6,500 x $6.3 = $40,950

Total Contribution = $21,460 + 40,950 = $62,410

Total Sales Unit = 7,400 + 6,500 = 13,900 units

Weighted average contribution margin = Total Contribution / Total sales unit

Weighted average contribution margin = $62,410 / 13,900 units

Weighted average contribution margin = $4.49 per unit

Weighted average contribution margin = $4.5 per unit
