Bond Yields and Rates of Return A 30-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of $1,000 may be called in 4 years at a c

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The bond's yield to maturity is 9.45% using Excel to get exact values, and 9.59% using approximate method.

Explanation:

We can calculate is using 2 ways, using Excel to get the exact percentage or with approximate methods, calculating the semi-annual Yield to Maturity using the following formula

$YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}$

And from there we can calculate the Yield to Maturity just by multiplying the semi-annual one by 2.

Identifying the given information.

We have a period of 30 years, so for the semiannual bond we have $n=2(30) = 60$ periods.

The face value, FV, is $1000, the coupon rate is 0.10, thus we can use them to find the interest per period PMT.

$PMT=0.10 \times \cfrac{1000}{2}\\PMT=\$ 50$

The current price of the bond, PV is $1050.

Replacing the values on the semiannual Yield to Maturity

$YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}$

$YTM_{sm}=\cfrac{50+\cfrac{1000-1050}{60}}{\cfrac{1000+1050}{2}}$

Simplifying we get

$YTM_{sm}=4.797\%\\$

Finding the Yield to Maturity.

We can just multiply by 2 to get the Yield to Maturity from our previous result and rounding it to 2 decimals we get

$YTM = 2 YTM_{sm}\\YTM=9.59\%$

Alternatively we can use Excel and write:

RATE(n, PMT, PV, FV)*2

That is

RATE(60,50,1050,1000)*2

And we will get the exact Yield to maturity 9.49%

cestrela7 [59]

Increasing the reserve requirement is a powerful ANTI INFLATION weapon that reduces the overall supply of money.
In order to reduce the amount of money in an economy, the federal reserve can increase the reserve requirements of the commercial banks in the economy. This will reduce the amount of money that the banks can give out as loan and this will work to prevent inflation.

Answer:

a.The marginal (added) benefits of the proposed new robotics.

$195,000

b. The marginal (added) cost of the proposed new robotics.

-$227,200

c. The net benefit of the proposed new robotics.

loss = -$32,200

d. What should Ken recommend that the company do? Why?

Based only on this analysis, the company should keep the old robotics. The new robotics are too expensive and do not generate enough benefits.

e. What factors besides the costs and benefits should be considered before the final decision is made?

increases in efficiency and reductions in manufacturing time.

Explanation:

Marginal cost benefit analysis refers to analyzing the additional benefits of a new project or activity compared to the benefits generated by an alternative project or activity.

In this case, both alternative should be evaluated as follows:

alternative 1 alternative 2 marginal

keep robotics change robotics benefits

revenue (in $446,000 $568,000 $122,000

today's $)

required invest. $0 -$227,200 -$227,200

old robotics $0 $73,000 $73,000

Explanation:

The computation of the cost per equivalent unit of conversion is attached below:-

The formulas are shown below:-

Equivalent material = Direct material × Percentage completion

Equivalent conversion = Conversion × Percentage completion

The cost per equivalent unit come from

= Total cost ÷ number of equivalent units

hence, the cost per equivalent unit of conversion is $2.90 per unit
