An investor has two bonds in his portfolio that have a face value of $1,000 and pay a 9% annual coupon. Bond L matures in 15 yea
aksik [14]

Answer:

Price of L bond at 5 percent required rate of return = $1,415.16

Price of L bond at 7 percent required rate of return = $1,182.16

Price of L bond at 10 percent required rate of return = $923.94

The price of the long term bonds change more with a change in interest rate because the long term bonds have a greater interest rate risk as compared to the short term bonds

Explanation:

L bond has a coupon rate of 9 percent, a face value of $1,000 and matures in 15 years. The coupon payments are made on annual basis. At the time of maturity the bondholder gets the face value.

We can find the present value of the coupon payments using the present value of annuity formula and the present value of the face value to be received after fifteen years using the present value formula. Sum of the present value of annuity of coupon payments and present value of the face value should equal the fair value (price) of the bond.

If the required rate of return is 5 percent, the price of the bond can be computed as under

Price = PMT [[(1+i)^n] -1]/[ix(1+i)^n] + FV/(1+i)^n

where PMT = 1,000 x 9% = $90

n = 15 years, i = 5% and FV = $1,000

Plugging the values in the formula we get

Price = 90[{(1+0.05)^15} - 1]/ [0.05 x (1+0.05)^15] + 1,000/(1+0.05)^15

Price = 90[{(1.05)^15} - 1]/ [0.05 x (1.05)^15] + 1,000/(1.05)^15

Price = 90[2.07893 - 1]/ [0.05 x 2.07893] + 1,000/2.07893

Price = 90[1.07893]/ [0.10395] + 1,000/2.07893

Price = 934.14 + 481.02 = 1,415.16

If the required rate of return increases to 7 percent, the price is computed as under

Price = 90[{(1+0.07)^15} - 1]/ [0.07 x (1+0.07)^15] + 1,000/(1+0.07)^15

Price = 90[{(1.07)^15} - 1]/ [0.07 x (1.07)^15] + 1,000/(1.07)^15

Price = 90[2.759 - 1]/ [0.07 x 2.759] + 1,000/2.759

Price = 90[1.759]/ [0.19313] + 1,000/2.759

Price = 819.71+ 362.45 = 1,182.16

If the required rate of return increases to 10 percent, the price is computed as under

Price = 90[{(1+0.1)^15} - 1]/ [0.1 x (1+0.1)^15] + 1,000/(1+0.1)^15

Price = 90[{(1.1)^15} - 1]/ [0.1 x (1.1)^15] + 1,000/(1.1)^15

Price = 90[4.1772 - 1]/ [0.1 x 4.1772] + 1,000/4.1772

Price = 90[3.1772]/ [0.41772] + 1,000/4.1772

Price = 684.55+ 239.39 = 923.94

The price of the long term bonds change more with a change in interest rate because the long term bonds have a greater interest rate risk as compared to the short term bonds

Market failure describes a situation in which the market itself ________ in a way that balances social costs and benefits.
Lina20 [59]

A situation known as a "market failure" occurs when the market itself is unable to efficiently distribute resources in a way that balances social costs and benefits.

Market failure refers to a situation where there is an inefficient allocation of products and services on the open market. The individual incentives for rational behavior do not result in rational outcomes for the collective in a market failure.

In other words, each person chooses what is best for themselves, but those choices end up being bad for the collective. This can occasionally be demonstrated in conventional microeconomics as a steady-state disequilibrium condition.

Lossing Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours. Budgeted and actual overh
aalyn [17]

Answer:

$1,287  unfavorable

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

But before that we need to calculate the following things

Total Budgeted Fixed Cost

= Supervision Fixed Cost + Utilities Fixed Cost + Factory Depreciation Fixed Cost

= $15,510 + $14,800 + $59,780

= $90,090

Budgeted Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Rate

= Total Budgeted Fixed Cost  ÷ Original Budgeted Machine Hours

= $90,090 ÷ 7,700 hours

= $11.7

Based on the above calculation, the overall fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance is

= Budgeted Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Rate × (Original Budgeted Machine Hours - Actual Output of Month Totaled)

= $11.7 × (7,700 hours - 7,590 hours)

= $11.7 × 110

= $1,287  unfavorable

According to the analysis, the overall fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance for the month is $1,287
