Answer:
a.higher than the market rate of interest
Explanation:
If bonds are issued at a premium, the stated interest rate is <u>higher than the market rate of interest.</u>
- If the company issues the binds at a premium, it means that the company is getting more money than the face value of the bond.
- This happens because the demand for the bind is high in the market.
- The demand is high because the company offers higher interest rate as compared to market interest rate.
- If the bonds are issued at a discount, then the stated interest rate is lower than the market interest rate.
Answer:
b. 1,062.81
Explanation:
the key to answer this question is to remember that valuation of a bond depends basically of calculating the present value of a series of cash flows, so let´s think about a bond as if you were a lender so you will get interest by the money you lend (coupon) and at the end of n years you will get back the money you lend at the beginnin (principal), so applying math we have the bond value given by:
where: principal as said before is the value lended, coupon is the rate of interest paid, i is the interest rate and n is the number of periods
so applying to this particular exercise, as it is not said we will assume that 6% and 7% are interest rate convertible seminually, so the price of the bond will be:
price=1,062.81
take into account that here we are asked about semianually payments, so in 8 years there are 16 semesters.

Answer:
$7.60
Explanation:
Find PV dividend per year at 14% discount rate;
0.30 / 1.14 = 0.2632
0.50 / 1.14² = 0.3847
0.75 / 1.14³ = 0.5062
1 / (1.14^4) = 0.5921
1.20 / (1.14^5) = 0.6232
Find the PV of the terminal cashflow;
Next, sum up the PVs to find the price of the stock today;
Price = 0.2632 + 0.3847 + 0.5062 + 0.5921 + 0.6232 + 5.2308
= $7.60
