Currently, Bruner Inc.'s bonds sell for $1,250. They pay a $120 annual coupon, have a 15-year maturity, and a $1,000 par value,

but they can be called in 5 years at $1,050. Assume that no costs other than the call premium would be incurred to call and refund the bonds, and also assume that the yield curve is horizontal, with rates expected to remain at current levels on into the future. What is the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC? (Subtract the YTC from the YTM.) 2.11% 2.32% 2.55% 2.80% 3.09%

Answer:

2.11%

YTM 0.089142162

YTC 0.068070103

Difference: 0.021072059 = 0.0211 = 2.11%

Explanation:

To calculate each rate we must solve for a rate at which the future coupon payment and maturity (or call value) equals the market price:

This is solve for excel and goal seek tool

It could also be solve with a financial calculator

YTC:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

Coupon payment: $ 120

time 5 yeaars

rate 0.068070103 (solved with excel)

120 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0680701028057608)^{-5} }{0.0680701028057608} = PV\\

PV $494.5766

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity: $ 1,050 (call price)

time   5.00

rate  0.068070103

\frac{1050}{(1 + 0.0680701028057608)^{5} } = PV  

PV   755.42

PV c $494.5766

PV m  $755.4235

Total $1,250.0002

YTM:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

Cuopon payment: $ 120

time 15 years

rate 0.089142162 (solved with excel)

120 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0891421622982136)^{-15} }{0.0891421622982136} = PV\\

PV $972.2006

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity $ 1,000.00

time   15 years

rate  0.089142162 (solved with excel)

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0891421622982136)^{15} } = PV  

PV   277.80

PV c $972.2006

PV m  $277.7995

Total $1,250.0001

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Projects A,B,C,D and E should be accepted

Explanation:

Based on the fact that each of the itemized projects has the same of level of risk as the company's existing assets, we suggest that the firm undertake those projects that gives a return rate which is above the current weighted average cost of capital of 10.5%

In essence,projects A,B,C,D and E should be accepted as they 12%,11.5%,11.2%,11% and 10.7% returns on investment respectively.

Projects F& G would be rejected on the premise that their rates of return are lower than what is currently obtainable in Midwest Water Works.

__________This import tax was meant to replace the earlier "Tariff of Abominations", but it was widely disliked by southern merc
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Tariff of 1832

Explanation:

The Tariff of 1832 was enacted to replace the 1828 import tariffs commonly known as Tariffs of Abomination. Most southern states did not like it, but its greatest opposition came from South Carolina since its economy depended greatly in foreign trade. Back then America's largest export was cotton produced by southern states.

Due to South Carolina's extreme opposition, it was replaced by the Compromise Tariff of 1833. This last tariff would gradually decrease the tax rates until they fell back to 1816 levels, which was approximately 20%.

The Nullification Crisis refers to a legal process carried out in South Carolina that determined that federal taxes, specifically import tariffs were unconstitutional and shouldn't apply to them. The problem is that the Supreme Court decides what is unconstitutional or not, not a state court.
