Answer:

before tax corportate bond equivalent: 11.15%

Explanation:

The municipal bond are tax-free making them more attractive than normal corporate bonds.

thus, the municipal bond rate should be compare with the after tax rate of a corporate bond:

before tax rate ( 1 - tax rate) = after tax rate

<u>For this case:</u>

the after tax rate is 7.25%

and the tax bracket is 35%

before taxes ( 1 - 0.35) = 0.0725

0.0725/.65 = 0,1115384 = <em>11.15%</em>

You want to buy your dream car which will cost you $5900. If you could invest your entire savings of $3500 at an annual interest
Liula [17]

Answer:

t = 4.607742347 years rounded off to 4.61 years

Explanation:

To calculate the number of years it will take an investment of $3500 to grow to $5900 at an annual interest rate of 12%, we will use the formula for the future value of cash flows. The formula can be written as follows,

Future value = Present value * (1+i)^t

Where,

  • i is the interest rate
  • t is the time in years

Plugging in the values for future value, present value and i, we can calculate the t to be,

5900 = 3500 * (1+0.12)^t

5900 / 3500 = (1.12)^t

1.685714286 = 1.12^t

Taking log on both sides.

Ln(1.685714286)  /  Ln(1.12)  =  t

t = 4.607742347 years rounded off to 4.61 years

Pierce Company issued 11% bonds, dated January 1, with a face amount of $800,000 on January 1, 2021. The bonds sold for $739,816
sdas [7]

Answer:

unrealized gain from change in market value = $10,617

Explanation:

Bonds carrying value = $739,816

amortization of bond discount = ($739,816 x 6%) - ($800,000 x 5.5%) = $389

amortization of bond discount = ($740,205 x 6%) - ($800,000 x 5.5%) = $412

bond's carrying value = $740,205 + $412 = $740,617

unrealized gain = carrying value - market value = $740,617 - $730,000 = $10,617

Mikhail's claim has been denied once. Now, he is writing a second persuasive claim message to his digital media services company
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

a) Appeal to the receiver's sense of responsibility and pride in the company's good name

Explanation:

Persuasive messages refer to communicating an idea so as to persuade the recipient towards an action.

Such messages are usually drafted by sales and marketing personnel.

While drafting a persuasive message, AIDA (Attention, interest, desire and action) principle is usually followed by the marketers.

In the given case, Mikhail's claim has already been denied once and he is drafting the second persuasive message. As he expects resistance from the media company, he should draw the attention of the recipient towards their own responsibilities and duties and pride relating to the good reputation of the company.

He may choose to express, what the receiver's responsibility and duties are and how non performance of those puts the company's reputation (pride) at stake.

A month ago, you bought a one-year bond with a value of $100 that pays a fixed interest rate of 5 percent per year. The interest
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

less desirable to other investors

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>: Current fixed coupon rate 5%

           Market rate of interest 5%

           New Market Rate of Interest 6%

Value of a bond is inversely related to economy interest rate or the yield to maturity (YTM). Value of a bond is expressed by the following equation:

B_{0}\ = \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{1} }  \ +\ \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{2} } \ +....+\ \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{n} }\ +\ \frac{RV}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{n} }

wherein, C = Coupon rate of interest

         YTM = Market Rate of Interest or interest rate in the economy or investor's expectation

                n= Years to maturity

             RV = Redemption value

In the given case, C = YTM i.e par value bond. When ytm rises to 6%, the value of the bond shall fall making such a bond less attractive since it represents lower coupon payments than investor expectations.

Thus, now the bond would be less desirable to other investors.
