Answer:
E. have a sinking fund provision
Explanation:
Callable bonds are the one wherein the issuer/borrower has an option to redeem the bonds anytime after an initial stipulated period. In case of such bonds, if the issuer decides to redeem the bonds, the holders have to accept the redemption value.
Usually, when market rate of interest on such bonds falls below the coupon rate of such bonds, the issuer redeems such bonds. Thus, such bonds are beneficial to the issuer.
Call protection refers to the period within which such bonds cannot be called or redeemed.
Sinking fund provision refers to transferring a portion of money during the duration of such callable bonds to a separate reserve known as sinking fund, which is created for the purpose of redemption of funds. So when such bonds are to be called, the total money transferred to sinking fund reserve would be raised and used for payment to bondholders.
Creation of such a reserve helps the issuer avoid the pressure of lump sum payment as periodically funds are set aside for the purpose of redemption.
Answer:
D. Market maturity
Explanation:
Over the past several years, like other auto manufacturers, General Motors (GM) has introduced many new models of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in all of its major divisions. This proliferation of SUVs and an increase in gasoline prices have caused sales to level off. In response, General Motors offered rebates of up to $5,000, or no-interest financing, on selected models of SUVs. The largest rebates went to current owners of GM vehicles, so that they would replace their current vehicles with a GM model instead of switching to another brand. The rebates have been heavily advertised on national television. Profit margins per vehicle have shrunk as a result of these costly promotions.
General Motors is currently operating in the Market maturity stage of production life cycle.
Answer:
0.1125 or 11.25% for each firm
Explanation:
Given that,
Each has $10 million in invested capital,
$1.5 million of EBIT
25% federal-plus-state tax bracket
ROIC for LL:
= [EBIT × (1 - tax rate)] ÷ invested capital
= [1.5 × (1 - 25%)] ÷ 10
= 0.1125 or 11.25%
ROIC for HL
= [EBIT × (1 - tax rate)] ÷ invested capital
= [1.5 × (1 - 25%)] ÷ 10
= 0.1125 or 11.25%
Therefore, the return on invested capital (ROIC) for each firm is 11.25%
