Two car manufacturers, Saab and Volvo, have fixed costs of $1 billion and marginal costs of $10,000 per car. If Saab produces 50
igomit [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, write down Total fixed cost for each;

Fixed cost; Saab = $1,000,000,000

Fixed cost; Volvo = $1,000,000,000

Next find the Total Variable cost (TVC)

TVC = # of cars per year * marginal cost per car

Saab ; TVC = 50,000* $10,000 = $500,000,000

Volvo ; TVC = 200,000* $10,000 = $2,000,000,000

Average production cost = (Fixed cost + total variable cost) / # of cars per year

Saab = ($1,000,000,000 + $500,000,000)/ 50,000 = $30,000

Volvo = ($1,000,000,000 + $2,000,000,000)/ 200,000 = $15,000

7. Valuing semiannual coupon bonds Bonds often pay a coupon twice a year. For the valuation of bonds that make semiannual paymen
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

A = $698,494.97 is the right answer.

And Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-note’s price is expected to Increase.

Explanation:

A. $698,494.97

B. $593,720.72

C. $838,193.96

D. $440,051.83

Solution:

First we need to see which among the four options is the correct value.

For that we need to find the rate:

Rate = Yield to Maturity/2

Yield to Maturity = 11%

So,

Rate = 11/2

Rate = 5.5%

Now, we need to find the Nper ( Number of periods for the loan)

Nper = 5 x 2 = 10 years.

Nper = 10 years

Now, we need to find PMT which is a financial function used to calculate the amount to be paid for the loan based on constant payments and interest.

PMT = (3%/2) x par value

PMT = (3%/2)x 1,000,000

PMT = 15000

Now, For future value, we have par value.

So,

Par Value = Future Value = FV = 1,000,000

Now, we have to find the PV = Present Value or the price of the bond.

For this we need to use PV function on excel.

Formula:

Price = - PV(Rate, Nper, PMT, FV)

Plugging the values in Excel like this and we get:

Price = -PV (5.5%,10,15000,1000000)

Price = $698,494.97

Hence, A = $698,494.97 is the right answer.

And Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-note’s price is expected to Increase.
