Answer:
Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>
1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.
PV * (1 + S1) = FV
1 + S1 = 1000 / 900
S1 = 1.1111 - 1
S1 = 0.1111
S1 = 11.11%
1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950
Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50
950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2
950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2
1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905
(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905
1 + S2 = 1.160221/2
S2 = 7.714%
1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2
Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602
Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586
Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92
Answer:
i=4.84%
Explanation:
the key to answer this question, is to remember the model of return for a perpeuity dividend calculation:
where value is the current stock price, i is the dividend yield and k is the growth rate, so applying to this particular case we have
k=3.4/91
k=3.74%
and solving i for the previous formula:
Answer:
57.5%
Explanation:
Data Provided:
Total Sales = $ 200,000
The net income = $ 100,000
Depreciation = $ 20,000
Interest = $ 10,000
Taxes = $ 5,000
Now,
the operating profit is the from the income before the taxes and interest. Thus,
the interest and taxes will be included in the net income for the operating profit
therefore,
The operating profit = income + Interest + Taxes
or
The operating profit = $ 100,000 + $ 10,000 + $ 5,000 = $ 115,000
Now,
the operating profit margin = ( Operating profit / Sales ) × 100
or
= ( $ 115,000 / $200,000 ) × 100 = 57.5%
