Ms. Jones wants to make 14​% nominal interest compounded quarterly on a bond investment. She has an opportunity to purchase a 12
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

IF mrs Jones wants to make 14% on the bond this is her required return and what the ytm of the bond should be to make her want to buy the bond. Because the bond pays a coupon of 12% she will want to pay less than the face value of the bond, so that the overall return can be 14%. Whenever the coupon rate of the bond is less than the required return or ytm, the bond is sold at a discount. In order to find at what price should she buy the bond we will need a financial calculator and input the following

FV= 10,000

YTM= 3.5 ( We divide 14 by 4 to find the ytm because the bond has quarterly compounded payments)

PMT= 300 ( We find out the 12% of 10,000 and divide it by 4 because the bond has quarterly payments)

N= 48 (12 years into 4 because there will be a total of 48 quarters and 48 payments)

Put these values in a financial calculator and compute the PV

PV= 8,845

The present value of the bond is 8,845 if the required return is 14% which means she should be willing to pay $8,845 for the bond today.

The National Income and Product Accounts identity states:__________A) Expenditure  Production  Income.B) Production  Expendit
zaharov [31]

Answer:

I. National Income Accounting:

National income accounts are an accounting framework is useful in measuring economic activity.

A. Three approaches—all produce the same measurement of the production of the economy.

1. product approach: how much output is produced

2. income approach: how much income is created by production

3. Expenditure approach: how much purchasers spend

B. Why all three approaches are the same: Assumes no unsold goods (at this point) then the market values of goods and services produced must equal the amount buyers spend to purchase them (product approach=expenditure approach). What the seller receives (income) must equal what is spent (expenditure).

II. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

A. GDP vs. GNP

GNP= output produced by domestically owned factors or production. (By our people)

GDP= includes production produced by foreign owed factors of production within the countries border and excludes domestically owned production in foreign countries. (On our soil)

1. GDP = GNP – net factor payment from abroad (NFP)

2. How big is the difference?

B. Product approach: The market value of all final goods and services produced within a nation during a fixed period of time.

1. Market value: allows comparison between different goods. Has some problems – ignores some goods. underground economy, and government services.

2. Final goods and service: Treatment of inventories; Capital goods; Avoids double counting; Value added.

3. New production: Ignores goods produced in previous periods

C. Expenditure approach: Total spending on final goods and services produced within a nation during a specified period of time.

1. Income expenditure identity and four categories of spending: Consumption (C), Investment (I), government purchases of goods and services (G) and net exports (NX)

Y = C + I + C + NX

2. Consumption(C): Spending by domestic households on final goods and services

a. Consumer durable goods: Long lasting goods

b. Nondurable goods used up quickly

c. Services

3. Investment (I): Spending on new capital goods by business

a. Business fixed investment

b. Residential fixed investment

c. Inventory investment: Changes in the amount of unsold goods, goods in progress and new materials

4. Government purchases of goods and services (G):

a. State and local vs. Federal spending

b. Transfers and interest payments on debt are not counted. They are counted in total government expenditure which is not the same as government purchases of goods and services.

5. Net exports (NX): exports minus imports

a. Need to subtract imports since they are counted in C. I and G can add goods produced within the country purchased by foreign interests (exports).

D. Income approach adds up income received by producers, including profits and taxes paid to the government

1. Income generated by production

a. National income =

compensation of employees

+ proprietors income

+ rental income of persons

+ corporate profits

+ net interest

+ taxes on production

+ business transfers

+ surplus of gov enterprises

b. National income + statistical discrepancy = Net National Product (NNP)

Note: This changed a couple years ago. If you have an old addition, you may see the indirect business tax. It is no long used in this equation!

c. NNP + depreciation = GNP

d. GNP – NFP = GDP

2. Income of private sector and government

a. Private disposable income = income of private sector = private sector income earned at home (Y or GDP) and abroad (NFP) + payments from the government sector (transfers TR and interest on debt INT) – taxes paid to government (T) = Y + NFP + TR + INT – T

b. Government net income = T- TR – INT

III. Saving and Wealth

A. Wealth Difference between assets and liabilities

B. Measures of aggregate savings

1. Saving = current income – current spending; saving rate = saving/current income

2. Private saving (Spvt) Spvt = Y + NFP – T + TR + INT – C

3. Government Saving (Sgovt) Sgovt = T – TR- INT – G

a. Government saving = Government budget surplus (deficit = -Sgovt)

4. National Saving= private saving + government saving

S = Spvt + Sgovt = Y + NFP - C – G = GNP - C – G

C. The uses of private saving

1. S = I + (NX + NFP) = I + CA

CA = NX + NFP = current account balance

2. The use of savings identity

Spvt = I – Sgovt + CA

If the budget deficit increases one or a combination of the following happen

1) private saving must rise

2) investment must fall

3) the current account balance must fall

IV. Prices Indexes, Inflation and Interest Rates

A. Nominal vs. Real variables

Nominal Variables – Measures the economic variable in terms of the current market value.

Real Variable—Measure the variable valued at the prices in a base year.

B. Real vs. Nominal: Calculation the differences

Gonzales Corporation generated free cash flow of $86 million this year. For the next two years, the company's free cash flow is
Viktor [21]

Answer:

$12.49

Explanation:

The computation of the expected current price is shown below:

But before that first we have to determine the current firm value which is

Current firm value = ($86 million ×1.10^1) ÷ 1.11^1 + ($86 million × 1.10^2) ÷ 1.11^2 + {($86 million × 1.10^2 × 1.04) ÷ (0.11 - 0.04)} ÷ 1.11^2

= $1,424.48 million

Now

Expected current share price is

= ($1,424.48 - $275 million + $100 million) ÷ 100 million shares outstanding

= $12.49
