Answer:
a)$103.309 million initially b)$83.309 million c)240070 bonds more
Here is the complete question:
A firm with an A rating plans to issue one million units of a 10 year-4% bond with face value $100. After the financial crisis this firm is downgraded to a B rating. The yield curve increases 0.2% per year. The yield for year 1 is y1=1%, for year 2 is y2=1.2%, y3=1.4% and so on and y10=2.8%. The default spreads are given in the table below.
(a) What is the initial amount (before downgrading) the firm wants to raise?
(b) How much can this now B rated firm raise?
(c) If the firm wants to raise the planned amount, how many more bonds does it issue?
Rating Default spread
AAA 0.20%
AA 0.40%
A+ 0.60%
A 0.80%
A- 1.00%
BBB 1.50%
BB+ 2.00%
BB 2.50%
B+ 3.00%
B 3.50%
B- 4.50%
CCC 8.00%
CC 10.00%
C 12.00%
D 20.00%

Answer:
$3,842.78
Explanation:
We must determine the future value of the money invested and then calculate the difference between both return rates. We can use the future value formula: FV = present value x (1 + return rate)ⁿ
3.5% ⇒ FV = $238,000 x (1 + 3.5%)³ = $238,000 x 1.035³ = $263,874.85
4% ⇒ FV = $238,000 x (1 + 4%)³ = $238,000 x 1.04³ = $267,717.63
difference = $267,717.63 - 263,874.85 = $3,842.78
Answer:
(B) multicollinearity is present.
Explanation:
Multicollinearity -
It is the process where , one of the predictor variable in the multiple regression model can be linearly predicted from the others with the substantial degree of accuracy , is known as multicollinearity or collinearity .
<u>In this case , the coefficient estimated of the multiple regression can change erratically for even a small change in the model .</u>
hence , from the question , the indication is of (B) multicollinearity is present .
Answer:
B.enables production to be ahead of demand.
Explanation:
<em>One of the benefits of a wholesale warehouse in the chain of distribution is that it </em><em>enables production to be ahead of demand</em><em>.</em>
A warehouse generally represents a large house where goods/products are kept prior to their distribution for sale.
The use of a warehouse offers several advantages to producers. These include:
- adequate protection and preservation of products
- regular flow of goods irrespective of their period of production
- continuity in the production process in order to stay ahead of market demand
- easy handling of products
- etc.
<em>Hence, the correct option is B.</em>
The technology associated with the manufacturing computers has advanced tremendously. This change has led to the price of a computer <u>falling</u> and the quantity <u>increasing</u>.
Lower prices most likely results in a higher demand for the product in question, which will increase the production rate of that product.
