Answer:

Required return is 8.75%

Explanation:

Given,

FV (Face Value) is $1,000

PV (present Value) is computed as:

PV = FV × Price

= $1,000 × 101.4%

= $1,014

Nper (Number of years) is 8 years

PMT (Monthly payment) is computed as:

PMT = FV × Coupon rate

= $1,000 × 9%

= $90

r (Required return) is computed by using the excel formula:

=Rate(nper, pmt, pv, fv, type)

= Rate (8,90,-1014,1000,0)

= 8.75%

b) When Bridgeport Housewares Inc prepares budgeted monthly cash budgets, important highlights are indicated.  For instance, it becomes easier for the management of Bridgeport to know when to borrow cash to meet the minimum cash balance or in the alternative sell off some marketable securities.  It is also easier for Bridgeport to understand that it can be having excess cash which should not be allowed to sit idle, but can be invested in marketable securities.  The cash budgets and their preparation also help Bridgeport to be better prepared to exert the required efforts to generate sales revenue in order not to jeopardize its liquidity position.  It can also help Bridgeport to understand that the capital expenditure could have been paid for instalmentally starting from September or so instead of lumping the sum in November.  There are many other insights garnered from the cash budgets and their preparation.
