Answer:

Inventory cycle =<u> Inventory    </u>             x       365 days

                            Cost of goods sold

                          = <u>$75,000 </u>   x 365 days

                             $360,000

                          = 76 days

Receivable days = <u>Receivables</u> x 365 days

                               Sales  

                             = <u>$160,000</u> x 365 days

                                $600,000  

                             = 97 days

Payable days = <u>Payables        </u>         x 365 days

                         Cost of goods sold

                        = <u>$25,000 </u>          x 365 days

                           $360,000

                        = 25 days

Cash conversion cycle = Inventory cycle + Receivable days - Payable days

Cash conversion cycle = 76 + 97 - 25 = 148 days

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Explanation:

Cash conversion cycle is the aggregate of inventory cycle and receivable days minus payable days. Inventory cycle is the ratio of inventory to cost of sales multiplied by 365 days. Receivable days measure the ratio of receivables to sales multiplied by 365 days. Payable days measure the ratio of payables to cost of sales multiplied by 365 days. Cash conversion cycle is the time lag between when inventory is purchased and when payment is made.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

(a) $34.4

(b) $38.70(Approx).

(c) $61.9524

Explanation:

(a) Current price:

=\frac{D1}{Required\ return-Growth\ rate}

=\frac{2.15\times(1+0.04)}{0.105-0.04}

=\frac{2.15\times 1.04}{0.105-0.04}

      = $34.4

We use the formula:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^{n}

where,

A = future value

P = present value

r = rate of interest

n = time period

(b) A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^{n}

A=34.4(1.04 )^{3}

         = 34.4 × 1.124864

         = $38.6953

         = $38.70(Approx).

(c)  A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^{n}

A=34.4(1.04 )^{15}

         = 34.4 × 1.80094351

         = $38.6953

         = $61.9524

a. $10,000 par value, coupon rate = 8%, rb = 0.10

b. $10,000 par value, coupon rate = 10%, rb = 0.10

c. $10,000 par value, coupon rate = 12%, rb = 0.10

What is the duration of each of the three bonds?

a. Duration on 8% coupon bond = 4.28 years

Year 1 ,2,3,4,5

DCFs 727.27, 661.2, 601.05, 546.41 6705.95

PV=9241.84

Duration = <DCFs/PV

(7271+661.22+601.053+546.414+6705.95*5)/9241.84

=39568.1/9241.84

=4.2814
