Answer:

a. What will be the price of each bond if their yields increase to 7.8%?

4 Years : $966,73 (see example)

8 Years : $942,09

30 Years : $885,26

b. What will be the price of each bond if their yields decrease to 5.8%?

4 Years : $1,034.81 (see example)

8 Years : $1,062.59

30 Years : $1,140.64

Explanation:

Principal Present Value = F / (1 + r)^t

Coupon Present Value = C x [1 - 1/(1 +r)^t] / r

This is an example for 4 years, 7,8%, to the others years only change "t".

The price of this bond it's $740,50 + $226,23 = $966,73

Present Value of Bonds $740,50 = $1,000/(1+0,0780)^4

Present Value of Coupons $226,23 = $68 (Coupon) x 3,33

3,33 = [1 - 1/(1+0,0780)^4 ]/ 0,0780

This is an example for 4 years, 5,8%, to the others years only change "t".

The price of this bond it's $798,10 + $236,71 = $1,034.81

Present Value of Bonds $798,10 = $1,000/(1+0,0580)^4

Present Value of Coupons $236,71 = $68 (Coupon) x 3,48

3,48 = [1 - 1/(1+0,0580)^4 ]/ 0,0580

A store offers two payment plans. Under the installment plan, you pay 25% down and 25% of the purchase price in each of the next

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

a-1) Present value of the instalment option = $93.08

Present value of paying the bill immediately =$90

a2) Paying the bill immediately is the better deal

b-1) Present value of the instalment option = $88.65

b-2) Paying in instalments in this case is the better deal

Explanation:

a-1) Calculate Present value of the instalment option

The payments are spread out as follows: $25 immediately, and 25 at the end of each of the following 3 years, this is an annuity due where the present value is calculated as follows:

$Present value =PMT*\frac{[1-(1+i)^-^n]}{i}*(1+i)$

PMT = the annuity payment at the beginning of each period=$25

i = interest rate per period that would be compounded for each period

=0.05

n = number of payment periods=4

Present value = $25*\frac{[1-(1+0.05)^-^4]}{0.05}*(1+0.05)$ =$93.08

Present value of paying the bill immediately= $100 less the 10% discount= $100*0.9 = $90

a-2)Paying the bill immediately is the better deal as it has a lower cost of $90 compared to paying in instalments which a present value cost of $93.08

b1) If the payments on the 4-year instalment plan do not start for a full year, then the present value of the payment stream is calculated as follows:

$Present value =PMT*\frac{[1-(1+i)^-^n]}{i}*\frac{(1+i)}{1+1}$

= $PMT*\frac{[1-(1+i)^-^n]}{i}$

= $25*\frac{[1-(1+0.05)^-^4]}{0.05}$ = 88.65

b-2) paying in instalments in this case is the better deal as it has a lower cost of $88.65 compared to paying the bill immediately which has present value cost of $90.

9. The least risky method by which firms conduct international business is: a franchising b. acquisitions of existing operations

TEA [102]

Answer:

c. international trade

Explanation:

Options A and E are wrong because franchising and licensing businesses need to pay a special commission or extra expense to do the business. In that case, if the first company faces any disreputed problem due to the food, it is challenging for other franchisees to operate. Licensing business needs a massive cost at the start of the market.

Options B and D are wrong because acquisitions of existing operations or establishing a new subsidiary require high investment.

<em>Option C</em> is correct because international trade can take place at any time. There is a little cost when the trading period starts. Otherwise, there are not many costs. So, it is a less risky method.

Green Corporation hires six individuals on January 4, 2019, all of whom qualify for the work opportunity credit. Three of these

ivann1987 [24]

Answer: $4,650 Tax Credit

Explanation: Green Corporation is entitled to file for a work opportunity credit as it has given work opportunities to workers with significant barriers to employment.

Green Corporation is entitled to get 40% on wages paid per year on workers who worked for at least 400 hrs and 25% for at least 120 hrs

Green Corporation had 2 sets of workers in this category and they are:

Set 1 worked 400 hrs and are paid $8,500

Set 2 worked 300 hrs and are paid $5,000

to get the work opportunity credit for 2019:

$8,500 * 40%+ $5,000 *25% = $3,400+$1,250= $4,650

Beachballs, Inc., expects abnormally high earnings for the next three years due to the forecast of unusually hot summers. After

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: $36.50

Explanation:

The price she will be willing to be paid according to the Dividend Discount model is calculated by finding the present value of the future dividends and the terminal value.

Dividend year 1 = 1 * (1 + 20%) = $1.20

Dividend year 2 = 1.20 * (1 + 20%) = $1.44

Dividend year 3 = 1.44 * (1 + 15%) = $1.656

Terminal value = Dividend in year 4 / (required return - growth rate)

= (1.656 * (1 + 6%)) / ( 10% - 6%)

= $43.884

$Price = \frac{1.2}{(1 + 0.10)} + \frac{1.44}{(1 + 0.10)^{2} } + \frac{1.656}{(1 + 0.10)^{3} } + \frac{43.884}{(1 + 0.10)^{3} }\\\\= 36.4959\\\\= 36.50$

= $36.50
