Amortizing a bond discount: Multiple Choice Decreases

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Allocates a portion of the total discount to interest expense each interest period.

Explanation:

First, we understand that once a bond is issued at a discount, the first implication is the existence of a debit figure representing the discount on the bond issued.

However, the treatment of this discount figure is this:

First, the difference between the interest based on the effective interest rate of the carrying value of the bond and the interest based on the coupon rate on the face value of the bond is calculated. Once calculated, the discount figure is then amortized to the value of the difference between the two interest figures.

As such, amortizing discount on bonds affects the interest expense each interest period.

serg [7]

The question is incomplete as it does not contain values. The following is the complete question.

UPS, a delivery services company, has a beta of 1.2, and Wal-mart has a beta of 0.8. The risk-free rate of interest is 4% and the market risk premium is 7%. What is the expected return a portfolio with 40% of its money in UPS and the balance in Wal-Mart?

Answer:

The expected return of the portfolio is Portfolio r = 0.1072 or 10.72%

Explanation:

The expected return of a portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stocks' expected returns that form up the portfolio.

The formula for portfolio's expected return is as follows,

Portfolio r = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN

Where,

w is the weight of each stock in the portfolio
r is the expected return of each stock

To calculate the expected return of the portfolio, we will first calculate the expected return of UPS and Wal Mart using the CAPM equation.

The formula for expected return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate
rpM is the risk premium of market

r UPS = 0.04 + 1.2 * 0.07

r UPS = 0.124 or 12.4%

r Wal Mart = 0.04 + 0.8 * 0.07

r Wal Mart = 0.096 or 9.6%

Portfolio r = 0.4 * 0.124 + 0.6 * 0.096

Portfolio r = 0.1072 or 10.72%
