A corporate bond with a 6.5 percent coupon has 15 years left to maturity. It has had a credit rating of BBB and a yield to matur

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Price change in dollars = $104.22

% decrease in price of dollars = 11.13%

Explanation:

We assume the corporate bond have a face value of $1,000

Face Value = $1000

Coupon = 6.5%*1000/2 =32.50

Number of Periods = 15*2 =30

Semi annual rate of BBB bond = 7.2%/2 =3.6%

Price of BBB Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value =

Price of BBB Bond = 32.50*(((1-(1+3.6%)^-30)/3.6%)+1000/(1+3.6%)^30

Price of BBB Bond = $936.43

Semiannual Discount Rate for BB bond = 8.5%/2 = 4.25%

Price of BB Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value

Price of BB Bond = 32.50*(((1-(1+4.25%)^-30)/4.25%)+1000/(1+4.25%)^30

Price of BB Bond= $832.21

Price change in dollars = $936.43 - $832.21

Price change in dollars = $104.22

% decrease in price of dollars = $104.22 / $936.43

% decrease in price of dollars = 0.111295025

% decrease in price of dollars = 11.13%

Following her 18th birthday, Madison began investing $24 at the end of each week in an account earning 7% per year compounded we

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The answer is $26.80.

Explanation:

*Some inputs for the calculation as below:

One year period has 52 weeks

=> At the time she turns 68, she will have: (68-18) x 52 = 2,600 equal weekly cash flows; At the time she turns 47, she will have: (47-18) x 52 = 1,508 equal weekly cash flows.

* Present value of the investment plan lasting until she turns 68:

[ 24 / (7%:52) ] x [ 1 - (1+ (7%/52)^(-2,600) ] = $17,289.

* To have the same retirement nest egg at age 68, the present value of the investment plan lasting until she turns 47 should be equal to $17,289. Denote x is the weekly investment under the shorter investment scenario, we have:

[x / (7%:52) ] x [ 1 - (1+ (7%/52)^(-1,508) ] = $17,289 <=> x = $26.80.

New equipment$1,400,000

Annual net income $90,000

Depreciation expense $140,000
