dedylja [7]

Answer:

$26.67

Explanation:

Total Common Equity New = Total Common Equity Old + Net Income -Dividends Paid

Total Common Equity New = $4,050,000 + $450,000 - $100,000

Total Common Equity New = $4,400,000

Book value per share = Total Common Equity / Shares Outstanding

Book value per share = $4,400,000 / 165,000 shares

Book value per share = 26.66666666666667

Several years ago, Castles in the Sand Inc. issued bonds at face value of $1,000 at a yield to maturity of 6.2%. Now, with 6 yea

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The price of the bond is $659.64.

Explanation:

C = coupon payment = $62.00 (Par Value * Coupon Rate)

n = number of years = 6

i = market rate, or required yield = 15 = 0.15 = 0.15 /2 = 0.075

k = number of coupon payments in 1 year = 2

P = value at maturity, or par value = $1000

BOND PRICE= C/k [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1 + i )^nk ) / i ] + [ P / ( 1 + i )^nk )]

BOND PRICE= 62/2 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1 + 0.075 )^6x2 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 0.075 )^6x2 )]

BOND PRICE= 31 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1.075 )^12 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.075 )^12 )]

BOND PRICE= $239.79 + $419.85 = $659.64

A T-bill that is 290 days from maturity is selling for $96,040. The T-bill has a face value of $100,000.

umka2103 [35]

Answer: a 0.049, 0.05 and 0.05 or 5%

b 0.039, 0.041 and 0.041 or 4%

Explanation:

Ai discounted yield = [(Face value - purchase price)/Face value] * 360/ maturity

Discount yield =:[(100000 - 96040)/100000] * 360/290

= 0.0396* 1.24

= 0.049

ii. Bond equivalent yield (BEY) = [(Face value - purchase price)/purchase value] * 365/M

BEY= [(100000 - 96040)/96040] * 365/290

BEY = 0.05

iii EAR = [(1+BEY/n)exp n - 1)

EAR = [(1 + 0.05/(365/290)) exp (360/290) - 1]

EAR = [(1 + 0.05/1.26) exp (1.26) - 1

EAR = (1.04) exp (1.26) - 1

EAR = 0.05 or 5%

The same formula are applied for the B part

Discount yield = [(100000-96040)/100000] * 360/365

Discount yield = 0.0396 * 0.986

= 0.039

B ii. BEY = [(100000 - 96040)/96040] * 365/365

BEY = 0.041 × 1

BEY = 0.041

B iii. EAR = [(1 + 0.041/(365/365))exp (365/365) - 1

EAR = (1 + 0.41) - 1

EAR = 0.041 or 4%

A notice is published stating that RMO 5% convertible preferred stock will be called at $60 per share. The preferred is converti

dybincka [34]

Answer: d. A price near $60

Explanation:

The Preferred Stock was selling at $56 then a notice was circulated that RMO would be calling the stock at a price of $60.

This $60 is more than the current $56 and so this will need to reflect in the price of the stock. The adjustment will cause the Preferred stock to start trading near $60 as traders will seek to take advantage of the impending call by buying at a lower price and thus making a bit of profit when the stock is called at $60. The market will adjust to this because the Preferred stock will be perceived as undervalued. A price closer to the Call price will therefore become the new price to properly value the stock.
