Answer:

A. 5.56%

B. 13.55%

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the equity cost using the DCF method and the SML method

A. DCF approach

cost of equity =[ D0(1+growth )/ current price] +growth

= [.40 (1+.05) / 70 ] + .05

= [ .42 / 75] + .05

= .0056 +.05

= 0.0556 same as 5.56%

B)SML approach

Cost of equity = Rf +Beta (Rm-Rf)

= 5.8+ 1.25 (12 -5.8 )

= 5.8+ 1.25 *6.2

= 5.8 + 7.75

= 13.55%

Bond A pays $4,000 in 14 years. Bond B pays $4,000 in 28 years. (To keep things simple, assume these are zero-coupon bonds, whic
Arlecino [84]

Answer and Explanation:

Given that Bond A pays $4,000 in 14 years and Bond B pays $4,000 in 28 years, and that the interest rate is 5 percent, we see that Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is 70/5 = doubled after 14 years. Now if its value is 4000 in 14 years, its current value must be halved. Hence the value is 2000.

Sinilarly the value of Bond B is approximately one fourth now because it pays 4000 in 28 years. Hence its value is 4000/4 = 1000.

Now suppose the interest rate increases to 10 percent. Hence the doubling time is 70/10 = 7 years

Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is now approximately 1,000 and the value of Bond B is 250

Comparing each bond’s value at 5 percent versus 10 percent, Bond A’s value decreases by a smaller percentage than Bond B’s value.

The value of a bond falls when the interest rate increases, and bonds with a longer time to maturity are more sensitive to changes in the interest rate.
