Consider the case of Demed Inc.: Demed Inc. has 9% annual coupon bonds that are callable and have 18 years left until maturity.

solong [7]

Answer:

A) YTM = 7.64%

B) YTC = 7.36%

C) 8 years

D ) 7.64%

Explanation:

Annual coupon bond rate = 9%

number of year left until maturity = 18

par value of Bonds( FV ) = $1000

current market price( PV ) = $1130.35

Demed can call bonds in 8 years at a call price of $1060

A) what is the Bonds' YTM ( yield to maturity )

we calculate the interest per period ( PMT )

= ( Fv * Annual coupon bond rate) / number of compounding per year

= (1000 * 9% ) / 1 = $90

next we calculate number of compounding periods till maturity ( NPER )

= number of years to maturity * number of compounding per year

= 18 * 1 = 18

using excel formula = RATE ( NPER,PMT,PV,FV) )

hence yield to maturity = 7.64%

B) what is YTC ( yield to call )

we calculate the interest per period ( PMT )

= $1000 * ( coupon rate / number of compounding per year )

= $1000 * ( 9% / 1 ) = $90

next we calculate the number of compounding periods till sell

= 8 * 1 = 8

using excel formula = RATE ( NPER,PMT,PV,FV) )

Hence the YTC = 7.36%

C) Bonds will be called at 8 years and this is because the YTC is less than YTM

D ) The coupon rate for the bonds to be issued at par, is 7.64%

b)

Annual Depreciation expense= $58,800

Explanation:

<em>According to International Accounting standards(IAS) 16 property plan and equipment (PPE), the cost of an asset is the purchase cost plus other costs of bringing it to the intended working conditions.</em>

So we will add the purchase cost to installation , freight charges.

Cost of assets = 300,000 + 14,000 + 40,000 =$354,000

Annual depreciation = (Cost - Scrap Value)/ Number of years

= (354,000 - 60,000)/5

=$58,800

Annual Depreciation expense= $58,800

If the current exchange rate is 1 euro to 1.5 U.S dollars, according to the theory of purchasing power parity, a haircut that co

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer: (1) 10 euros (2) 15dollars

Explanation:

S= P1 /P2

where:

S= Exchange rate of currency 1 to currency 2

P1 = Cost of good X in currency 1

P2 = Cost of good X in currency 2

(1) s = 1.5, P1 = 15 dollars, P2 = ???

so,

1.5 = 15 / P2

P2 = 15/1.5 = 10 euros

Hence, according to the theory of purchasing power parity,

The price of a haircut that cost 15 dollars in Dallas will be 10 euros in Paris.

(2) S = P1/P2

taking 1 euro to 1.5dollars exchange,

1.5 = P1/P2 but P2 = 10 euros

hence P1 = 1.5 x 10 = 15 dollars.

Hence, according to the theory of purchasing power parity,

A wheel of French cheese that costs 20 euros in Paris should cost 15dollars in Dallas

The participation rate is calculated by dividing the number of people employed by the number of people in the workforce:

11/20= 0,55*100= 55%
