Delta Corporation has a bond issue outstanding with an annual coupon interest rate of 7 percent and 4 years remaining until matu
rity. The par value of the bond is $1,000. Determine the current value of the bond if present market conditions justify a 14 percent required rate of return. The bond pays interest annually.
1 answer:
Answer:
The current value of the bond is $796.04
Explanation:
The current value of a bond is the present value of all the cash inflows expected from the bond in the form of an annuity of interest payments and the term end face value payment discounted by the required rate of return or market interest rates. Thus, the current price of this bond will be,
Interest payment from the bond per year = 1000 * 0.07 = $70
The present value of ordinary annuity formula is attached in the answer.
Price = 70 * [ (1 - (1+0.14)^-4) / 0.14 ] + 1000 / (1.14)^4
Price of the bond = $796.04

Answer:
The equilibrium price will increase
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is defined as the price at which the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal.
At this point there is no excess demand or supply, they are both equal.
I'm the given scenario the new rice diet that is being marketed in the U.S. as a cure for cancer will lead to increase in demand for rice.
While a flood that affects the rice crop in California will reduce the ability of suppliers to supply. Leading to reduced quantities supplied to the market.
This results in increased prices for the now scarce rice in the economy
It is illustrated in the attached diagram where price increases from P1 to P2.
