Yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of return expected from a bond held until its maturity date. However, the YTM equals the exp

ected rate of return under certain assumptions. Which of the following is one of those assumptions?
RTE Inc. has 9% annual coupon bonds that are callable and have 18 years left until maturity. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, and their current market price is $1,160.35. However, RTE Inc. may call the bonds in eight years at a call price of $1,060. What are the YTM and the yield to call (YTC) on RTE Inc.’s bonds?
If interest rates are expected to remain constant, what is the best estimate of the remaining life left for RTE Inc.’s bonds?
If RTE Inc. issued new bonds today, what coupon rate must the bonds have to be issued at par?

Answer:

What are the YTM and the yield to call (YTC) on RTE Inc.’s bonds?

RTE annual 9% coupon with 18 years to maturity

par value $1,000

current market price $1,160.35

callable in 8 years at $1,060

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / years to maturity]} / [(face value + market value) / 2

YTM = {90 + [(1,000 - 1,160.35) / 18]} / [(1,000 + 1,160.35) / 2

YTM = (90 - 8.91) / 1,080.18 = 7.51%

YTC = {coupon + [(face value - call value) / years to call]} / [(face value + call value) / 2

YTC = {90 + [(1,000 - 1,060) / 8]} / [(1,000 + 1,060) / 2

YTC = (90 - 7.50) / 1,030 = 8.01%

If interest rates are expected to remain constant, what is the best estimate of the remaining life left for RTE Inc.’s bonds?

Since the market rate is lower than the coupon rate, the company will probably call the bonds in 8 eight years.

If RTE Inc. issued new bonds today, what coupon rate must the bonds have to be issued at par?

If RTE was to issue new bonds, then they would probably need to issue them with a 8.01% coupon rate (equal to the yield to call). Under the current circumstances, no investor will believe that RTE will not call the bonds, so the YTC is a more accurate measure of the market interest rate.

Talja [164]

Answer:

                       Transactions        Units        Unit Cost   Total Cost

a. Inventory, Beginning               4,000             $ 20      80,000

b. Purchase, March 5                  10,000              21        210,000

c. Purchase, September 19          6,000             23        138,000

d. Sale, April 15                             4,500            65         292500

e. Sale, October 31                        9,000            68        612000

f. Operating expenses  $615,000

Ending Inventory Units 6,500

Cost of Good Available for Sale = 80,000+ 210,000+ 138,000= $428,000

The number of units in ending inventory = Beginning + Purchases - Sales

                                                     =4000+ 10,000+ 6000- 4,500- 9,000

                                                     = 6500

FIFO  cost of ending inventory $ 148500

6,000 units at $ 23 =$138,000

500 units at $ 21= $ 10500

FIFO  cost of goods sold = Sales - FIFO Ending Inventory

                                      = $ 904500- $ 148500= $ 756000

LIFO  cost of ending inventory $ 132500

4,000 units at $ 20 =$80,000

2500 units at $ 21= $ 52500

LIFO  cost of goods sold = Sales - LIFO Ending Inventory

                                      = $ 904500- $ 132500= $ 772000

Weighted  cost of ending inventory = ($428,000/20,000)*6500= $ 139100

Weighted cost of goods sold = Sales - Weighted  Ending Inventory

                                              =$ 904500-$ 139100= $765400

Scoresby Inc. tracks

Net Loss                   (466,500)            (482,500)            (475,900)

4.LIFO minimizes taxes as it gives the lowest gross profit assigning the oldest values to ending inventory.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

a commercial bank

Explanation:

A commercial bank is a deposit accepting institutions regulated by the central bank of a country. The banks play a crucial role in availing capital to businesses. They accept deposits in the form of savings from customers. They keep a small fraction(reserves) in their custody to cater for withdrawal and loan out the rest. Banks, therefore, pool resources together for businesses and households to borrow.

Since banks have a wide customer base, they are able to mobilize huge amounts of resources to loan out. Commercial banks are the best institution to issue a loan to Glenn and Maggie. Saving and loan, credit unions have a limited membership and may not have sufficient resources to issue a loan to Glenn and Maggie.
