<span>During the recession witnessed in early 2001, many firms laid off their employees and downsized. The reason for the downsizing of employees from these firms in 2001 was the incompetency and poor performance of the employees. It may sound mean but to the company, this is advantageous since they can reduce the costing while at the same time maintain or increase the final goods.</span>

Suspect Corp. issued a bond with a maturity of 30 years and a semiannual coupon rate of 6 percent 4 years ago. The bond currentl
kifflom [539]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of each point is shown below:-

But before that we need to do the following calculations

First Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $45,000,000

Market Value = 95% × $45,000,000

= $42,750,000

Annual Coupon Rate = 6%

Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3%

= 3% × $45,000,000

= $1,350,000

Time to Maturity = 26 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 52

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$42,750,000 = $1,350,000 × PVIFA(i%, 52) + $45,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 52)

N = 52

PV = -42750000

PMT = 1350000

FV = 45000000

I = 3.20%

Semiannual YTM = 3.20%

Annual YTM = 2 × 3.20%

Annual YTM = 6.40%

Before-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40% × (1 - 0.40)

= 3.84%

Second Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $50,000,000

Market Value = 54% × $50,000,000

= $27,000,000

Time to Maturity = 15 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 30

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$27,000,000 = $50,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 30)

Using a financial calculator:

N = 30

PV = -27000000

PMT = 0

FV = 50000000

I = 2.075%

Semiannual YTM = 2.075%

Annual YTM = 2 × 2.075%

= 4.15%

Before-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15% × (1 - 0.40)

= 2.49%

a. The total book value of debt is

Total Book Value of Debt = $45,000,000 + $50,000,000

= $95,000,000

b. The total market value of debt is

Total Market Value of Debt = $42,750,000 + $27,000,000

= $69,750,000

c. The estimate of the aftertax cost of debt is

Weight of first Issue of Debt is

= $42,750,000 ÷ $69,750,000

= 0.6129

Weight of second issue of Debt

= $27,000,000 ÷ $69,750,000

= 0.3871

So,  

Estimated After-tax Cost of Debt is

= 0.6129 × 3.84% + 0.3871 × 2.49%

= 3.32%

An increase in the costs of resources or inputs of production would shift the ________.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

C. short-run aggregate supply curve leftward

Explanation:

When the cost of production or inputs of production increase the short run supply curve shifts left because the producers are now willing to sell less at the same price because it is more expensive for them to produce, so at every price the production decreases because of which the supply curve shifts left. The long run supply curve isn't affected by an increase in costs of resources because it is the potential of the economy and an increase in costs of does not change the potential of the economy.

Animeat is a company that sells food for exotic animals in the UAE. Business is going well but they predict they will have some
N76 [4]

Answer:

Animeat should access a flexible line of credit.

Explanation:

While it is common knowledge that businesses including those that are profitable would at one time or another have cash flow problems, yet it is pertinent for business owners and managers to always plan ahead against lack or shortage of cash flow as such could lead to total collapse of the business or customers/suppliers loss.

With regard to the above scenario, I would suggest Animeat access a flexible line of credit like invoice finance,overdraft facilities or short term business loan etc, inorder to meet up with it's food supply when the time comes. This would give the business quick access to funds/cash hence cushion the effect of cash flow problem during the predicted time.

The most important source of finance is to find the one that suit the business need and in which interest payment will be seamless so that available cash will not be depleted.
