Answer:

6.5%

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Beta of the stock = 0.9

Expected return = 9%

A risk-free asset = 4%

By considering the above information, the expected return on a portfolio is

= Risk - free asset × equally basis  + expected rate of return × equally basis

= 4% × 50% + 9% × 50%

= 2% + 4.5%

= 6.5%

Since we have to find out the expected return on equally invested so we considered the risk free asset and the expected rate of return

Therefore we ignored the beta of the stock

A company wishes to raise $27 million by issuing 15-year semi-annual coupon bonds with face value of $1,000 and coupon rate of 6
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

We first need to find out the present value of each $1,000 bond and then we can figure out how many of these bonds we require to raise $27 million

The n of payments is 15*2 because semi annual payments for 15 years so our N will be 30

The YTM is 7.70/2 because of semi annual payments = 3.85

The Face value is of 1,000 so FV= 1,000

The payments our 1000*0.066=66 divided by 2 because semi annual payments so PMT= 33

We will put these values in a financial calculator to compute the PV of a $1000 bond.

PV= 903

So now we know that the company can get $903 for each $1,000 bond as the bonds present value is 903.

Now in order to find out how many bonds need to be issued to raise 27 million we will divide 27 million by 903, as 903 is the amount we can raise by issuing a single bond.

27,000,000/903=29,900.3 so 29,901

The company will have to issue 29,901 bonds of face value $1,000 to raise $27 million

dem82 [27]

Answer:

5%

Explanation:

nominal interest rate = 5%

real interest rate = nominal interest rate -  increase in GDP deflator (inflation rate) = 5% - 2% = 3%

The nominal interest rate is the interest rate earned or charged without considering the effects of inflation. The real interest rate adjusts the nominal interest rate against the year's inflation rate.
