Which of the following statements is most correct? a. All else equal, if a bond’s yield to maturity increases, its price will fa

Andrei [34K]

Answer: d. A B and C are correct.

Explanation:

A bond's price and it's Yield to Maturity (YTM) are inversely related such that when Yield to Maturity rises, the price of the bond falls. This is a because a higher YTM signifies that the bond is riskier so it will compensate by being cheaper.

If a bond is downgraded by Ratings agencies then it means that the bond is now riskier. As it is riskier investors will charge more interest for taking on the risk. The interest is the YTM and so it rises.

A Subordinate bond means that if the company were to go into bankruptcy for instance, the Subordinate bond would only be paid for after the bond that is not Subordinated. This means that there is a chance that Subordinate bond holders will not get anything from the liquidation of the company. Investors will therefore charge a higher YTM to cater for the risk that this happens.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

One of the great dangers in allocating common fixed corporate costs is that such allocations can make a product line look less profitable than it really is.

Explanation:

Therefore, care must be exercised so that a product line is not eliminated because the common fixed costs have been allocated to it such that it becomes unprofitable. This is why it is necessary to identify activity cost pools into which such fixed costs can be accumulated and from which they can be allocated to product lines. Using ABC costing approach, for instance, offers a means of escape because the system tries to allocate costs based on the level of usage or consumption of such common costs by each product line instead of using arbitrary allocation formulas.

You are considering in investing one of the two options: Investment A requires a $255,000 upfront payment from you and generates

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Option (E) Never

Explanation:

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + $21,000 / (r)

NPV from Investment Project 2 = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

The question says that find the number of years that equals the total return which means the NPV from both investments is equal:

($255,000) + $21,000 / (r) = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

$21,000 / (r) - $29,000 / (r) = $255,000 - $175,000

-$8000 / r = $80,000

r = - 8000 / 80000 = -0.01 = - 10%

The negative sign shows that project A can not make a positive NPV that will be equal to that of project B and vice versa. It can also be illustrated by putting the value of r in "NPV from Investment Project 1"

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + 21000 / -0.01

= ($255,000) - $210,000 = ($465,000)

This shows that the company will have to make losses of $465,000 which is not possible because company will not select projects with negative NPVs.
