The obstacle to defining the research problem was that the company failed  in collecting quantitative data /Selection of inappropriate respondent resulted in wrong output.

Explanation:

A research design is a blue print that a company prepares for conducting  marketing research .

A firm collects quantitative data by conducting surveys and asking the customers or consumers to fill the forms (questionnaires).These surveys and questionnaires helps the company in making product related decision in various markets.(i.e how to customize the product as per the taste and the preferences of the consumers)

<u>The obstacle to defining the research problem was that the company failed  in collecting quantitative data /Selection of inappropriate respondent resulted in wrong output.Hence the company Refrez Inc failed to acknowledge the fact that people in the United States eat cereal with cold milk, whereas the people of China eat cereal with hot milk.</u>

As a result, Refrez Inc witnessed a decline in sales of its product in Chinese market .

Part A

Answer and its explanation:

Interest earned in the third year can be found from following two steps

Step 1 Use compounding formula for first two years, which is as under:

Future value = Present Value * (1+r)^n

Here n is the number of years the amount would be deposited for, which is 2 years duration. And r is the rate of return which is 8% here. So the future value in the year 2 will be:

Future value = $1000 * (1 + 0.08)^2 = $1166.4

Now the interest earned in the third year is:

Interest earned in the third year = $1166.4 * 8% = $93.312

Part B

Answer and its explanation:

The simple interest is the interest arising from the principal investment made in the year zero to date and this can be calculated as under:

Simple interest = Principal investment * rate of interest * number of years

Simple Interest = $1000 * 8% * 3years = $240

And the interest arising from the compounding of interest can be found by the difference of the Future value of the investment for three years and simple interest.

So,

Interest arising through compounding of interest = FV of investment in three years time - (Simple Interest + Principal investment)

Interest arising through compounding of interest = $1000*(1+0.08)^3 -$1240

= $19.712

A company wishes to raise $27 million by issuing 15-year semi-annual coupon bonds with face value of $1,000 and coupon rate of 6
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

We first need to find out the present value of each $1,000 bond and then we can figure out how many of these bonds we require to raise $27 million

The n of payments is 15*2 because semi annual payments for 15 years so our N will be 30

The YTM is 7.70/2 because of semi annual payments = 3.85

The Face value is of 1,000 so FV= 1,000

The payments our 1000*0.066=66 divided by 2 because semi annual payments so PMT= 33

We will put these values in a financial calculator to compute the PV of a $1000 bond.

PV= 903

So now we know that the company can get $903 for each $1,000 bond as the bonds present value is 903.

Now in order to find out how many bonds need to be issued to raise 27 million we will divide 27 million by 903, as 903 is the amount we can raise by issuing a single bond.

27,000,000/903=29,900.3 so 29,901

The company will have to issue 29,901 bonds of face value $1,000 to raise $27 million
