Answer:

The increase in yield to maturity from 5.5% to 7% will cause the price of the bond to fall from $ 1,057.46  to $ 972.70  

Explanation:

In order to ascertain the impact on the bond of a sudden increase in the yield to maturity from 5.5% to 7%, the present value of the bond, the current price is computed using yield of maturity of 5.5% and 7% respectively.

In calculating the present value, a discounting factor is used to state today's value of the future cash flows from the bond, given as 1/(1+r)^N, where r is the yield to maturity divided by 2 , in order to show that the bond is a semi-annual  interest paying bond.The fact that the bond is a semiannual one means interest would be paid 14 times( 7 years *2)

The present value is computed in the attached.

A project has an initial cost of $6,900. The cash inflows are $850, $2,400, $3,100, and $4,100 over the next four years, respect
monitta

Answer:

Thus, payback period is = 3 years and 1.61 months

Explanation:

Payback period is the time it will take the project cash flows to recover the initial investment. The payback period for the project in question will be,

<u>Year</u>       <u>Cash flow</u>      <u>Remaining Amount</u>

1               850               (6900 - 850) = 6050

2              2400             (6050 - 2400) = 3650

3              3100              (3650 - 3100) = 550

As the year 4 cash flow is 4100, we know that the amount will be recovered in year 4. However, we will calculate the exact period or months in year 4 that it will take to recover total initial investment assuming that cashflow occurs at constant rate through out the year.

Time = 550 / 4100 * 12 = 1.61 months

Thus, payback period is = 3 years and 1.61 months

Your campus computer store reported Sales Revenue of $175,000. The company's gross profit percentage was 65 percent. What amount
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The company reported $61,250 amount of Cost of Goods Sold

Explanation:

As gross profit percentage is the net percentage of sales revenue and cost of goods sold. We can find the cost of goods sold percentage as follow

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold

Placing the percentage

65% = 100 % - Cost of Goods sold

Cost of Goods sold = 100% - 65%

Cost of Goods sold = 35%

Now calculate the value of cost of goods sold using following formula

Cost of goods sold percentage = Cost of good sold / Sales Revenue

35% = Cost of Goods sold / $175,000

Cost of Goods sold = $175,000 x 35%

Cost of Goods sold = $61,250

The Security Market Line (SML) shows the relationship between stocks' required rates of return (measured on the vertical axis) a
natka813 [3]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The reason is that the straight line equation is used to illustrate the relation between the rate of return and the beta factor and is given as under:

Y = a + bX

Here

a = Rf

B = Risk premium = Rm - Rf

X = Beta Factor

So this means the security market line is the graphical presentation of capital asset pricing model and illustrates why the increase in beta factor increases the required rate of return, the reason is that the the overall required return Y of the investment will start increasing with the increase in the beta factor.

So the statement is true.
