Bond P is a premium bond with a coupon rate of 9 percent. Bond D has a coupon rate of 5 percent and is currently selling at a di

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

a) 7% as their market price will adjsut to give the same yield as the market

b) bond P = -10.17

bonds D = 10.07

Explanation:

we have to calcualte the price variation of the bonds from now (10 years to maturity) to next year (9 years)

Bond P

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 90.000

time 10

rate 0.07

$90 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-10} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $632.1223

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV$

PV 508.35

PV c $632.1223

PV m $508.3493

Total $1,140.4716

then, at time = 9

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 90.000

time 9

rate 0.07

$90 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-9} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $586.3709

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 9.00

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{9} } = PV$

PV 543.93

PV c $586.3709

PV m $543.9337

Total $1,130.3046

Capital loss: 1,130.30 - 1,140.47 = -10.17

We repeat the process for bond D

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 50.000

time 10

rate 0.07

$50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-10} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $351.1791

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV$

PV 508.35

PV c $351.1791

PV m $508.3493

Total $859.5284

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 50.000

time 9

rate 0.07

$50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-9} }{0.07} = PV\\$

PV $325.7616

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 9.00

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{9} } = PV$

PV 543.93

PV c $325.7616

PV m $543.9337

Total $869.6954

Capital gain: 869.70 - 859.53 = 10.07

Bill currently uses his entire budget to purchase 5 cans of Pepsi and 3 hamburgers per week. The price of Pepsi is $1 per can,

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

The utility maximization point for a consumer is as follows:

$\frac{MU_x}{P_x}=\frac{MU_y}{P_y}$

It is given that,

price of Pepsi(x) = $1 per can

price of a hamburger(y) = $2

Marginal utility from Pepsi = 4

Marginal utility from hamburgers = 6

Hence,

$\frac{4}{1}>\frac{6}{2}$

4 > 3

Therefore, it can be seen that the consumer's utility is not maximized at this point.

Law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the consumer consumes more and more quantity of goods then as a result the utility obtained from the consumption goes on diminishing.

So, there is a need to increase the quantity of Pepsi consumed and reducing the quantity of hamburgers consumed.

Prahm Corp. wants to raise $4.4 million via a rights offering. The company currently has 500,000 shares of common stock outstand

Pavel [41]

Answer:

price for selling 3000 share right is $25060.87

Explanation:

Given data:

Total Amount raised= $4,400,000

Spreading rate = 6%

Subscription price = $20 per share

Number of share owned by company = 500,000

Per share cost = $45

Totals share own in the company = 3000

subscription price after deducting spreading rate $= 20\times (1 -0.06) = $18.80$

Now, Right share $= \frac{4400000}{18.8} = 234,043$

Right price is calculated as

Right price = ((Number of share held * market price) + (Right share *Right price))/( Number of share held + Right share)

plugging all value in above relation

$= \frac{500000 \times 45 + 234043\times 18.8}{500000 + 234043}$

Right share = $36.65

single right value = 45- 36.65 = $8.35

Price for 3000 share right = 8.35 *3000 = $25060.86

Pacific Packaging's ROE last year was only 6%; but its management has developed a new operating plan that calls for a debt-to-ca

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

13.75%

Explanation:

Calculation for what will be the company's return on equity

First step

Asset Turnover Ratio= Net Sales / Total Assets ------(1)

Given Asset Turnover Ratio =2.7

=> 2.7 = 4,000,000/ Total Assets (from equation 1)

=>Total Assets = 1,481,481 ------(2)

Second step

ROE = Net Income / Equity

Net Income = (EBIT - Interest Charges) *(1-tax rate)

Net Income = (356,000 -168,000) *(1-35%)

Net Income = $122,200 --------(3)

Equity = Total Assets *(1-debt ratio)

Equity = 1,481,481*(1-0.4) = $888,889 --------(4)

From equation 3 and 4

ROE = Net Income / Equity

ROE= 122,200/888,889

ROE =0.1375*100

ROE=13.75%

Therefore ROE will be 13.75%
