Answer:

$976.90 will be the new price if interest rates increase to 8.5 percent.

Explanation:

YTM = 8%

Change in interest rate = (8.5% - 8%) = 0.5%  <em>(Increase of 0.5% )</em>

%Change In Price of Bond = -Duration/(1+YTM) X Change in Rate

                                            = -4.99/(1+0.08) X 0.5%

                                            = -2.310%

There will be a decrease of 2.310% in Bond Price

New Bond Price = 1000 - (1000 X 2.310%)

                           = 1000 - 23.10

                           = $976.90

Suppose the cost of capital of the Gadget Company is 10 percent. If Gadget has a capital structure that is 50 percent debt and 5
myrzilka [38]

Cost of equity capital is closest to: 16 percent

Solution:

WACC is covered on page 120 Corporate Finance, under Capital Structure.

Using the standard equation for WACC = %wt Equity x cost of equity (re) + %wt Debt x cost of debt (rd).

Since there is a 20% tax rate for the firm, the cost of borrowing is reduced by that amount. So the cost of debt is 4%, not 5%.

Plug the formula: 10% = 50% x re + 50% x 4%

The formula ( i.e. 0.1+(0.1-0.05)(1)(1-0.2)) in CFAI reading is questionable.

The calculation is 0.1+(0.1-0.05*(1-0.2))*(1)=16%

A firm is considering two mutually exclusive projects, X and Y, with the following cash flows:
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: MIRR (project x ) = 3.42% , Project Y = 4.51%

Explanation:

Modified internal Rate of return

Project X

Period (n) = 4

Weighted Average Cost of equity(WACC) = 8.0%

Cash out flow = -$1000

Cash Inflows = $100 year 1 , $280 year 2 , 370 year 3 ,$700 year 4

Present Value Cash Inflows = PVCIF = Cash Inflow/(1+WACC)^n

PVCIF = 100/(1+0.08)^1 + 280/(1+0.08)^2 + 370/(1+0.08)^3 + $700/(1+0.08)^4

PVCIF = 95.592592593 + 240.05486968 + 293.71792918 + 514.5208969

Present Value of Cash inflows (PVCIF) = $1143.8862884

Present Value of Cash out flows(PVCOF) = -$1000

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = \sqrt[n]{\frac{PVCIF}{PVCOF} } -1  

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1143.8862884}{10000} } -1

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = 0.034178971

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = 3.41789971 = 3.42%

Project Y

Period (n) = 4

Weighted Average Cost of equity(WACC) = 8.0%

Cash out flow = -$1000

Cash Inflows = $1100 year 1 , $110 year 2 , $50 year 3 ,$55 year 4

Present Value Cash Inflows = PVCIF = Cash Inflow/(1+WACC)^n

PVCIF = $1100/(1+0.08)^1 + $110/(1+0.08)^2 + $50/(1+0.08)^3 + $55/(1+0.08)^4

PVCIF = 1018.5185185 + 94.307270233 + 39.691612051 + 40.42641904

Present Value of Cash inflows (PVCIF) = $10192.9438198

Present Value of Cash out flows(PVCOF) = -$1000

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = \sqrt[n]{\frac{PVCIF}{PVCOF} } -1  

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1192.9438198}{10000} } -1

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = 0.0450931421

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = = 4.50931421 = 4.51%
