Answer:
YTM = 6.42%
Explanation:
current market value = $1,000 x 98% = $980
n = (15 - 2) x 2 = 26
coupon = $1,000 x 6.2% x 1/2 = $31
face value = $1,000
YTM = [coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = [31 + [(1,000 - 980)/26]} / [(1,000 + 980)/2]
YTM = (31 + 0.77) / 990 = 31.77 / 990 = 0.03209 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.641818 = 6.42%
Answer: Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Correct Option: The corporate tax rate increases.
If there is an increase in the corporate tax rate then this will induce the firms to increase the amount of their debt. This is due to the fact that the firms with more debt are going to pay less tax because of the large interest expense. Due to large interest expenses, their income before tax reduces.
Hence, large corporate taxes encourage firms to increase the amount of debt. Therefore, the firms with no debt pays higher taxes than the firms with higher amount of debt.
