Answer:
A - If a bond sells at a discount, the yield to maturity is greater than the current yield
Explanation:
Yield to maturity is the expected return if the bond is held till maturity. Current yiled is the return if the bond is sold today. There is an evident relationship between yield to maturity (TYM) and the current yield.
“When a bond's market price is above par, which is known as a premium bond, its current yield and YTM are lower than its coupon rate. Conversely, when a bond sells for less than par, which is known as a discount bond, its current yield and YTM are higher than the coupon rate. Only on occasions when a bond sells for its exact par value are all three rates identical” (Bloomenthal, 2020).
According to the above statements, options C, B and D are eliminated. This leaves option A (If a bond sells at a discount, the yield to maturity is greater than the current yield) as the correct answer. This is true because YTM is calculated on purchase price rather than par value, if the purchase price is less than par value, the YTM will be greater than the current yield.
Answer:
0.2 or 20%
Explanation:
The odds of meeting an unhappy person will be the no. of unhappy people divided by the sample size.
=25/125
=1/5
The odds are 1 in every five people is extremely unhappy.
1/5 = 0.2 or 20%
C.) $61.43, x over 175.5 = 35 over 100. Cross multiply 175.5 by 35 and then divide over 100. You are left with $61.425, hope this helps.
Answer: 12.5%
Explanation:
Amount that will be raised with Equity = 65% * 5,700,000 = $3,705,000
This is more than the retained earnings so new equity will have to be issued at cost of 16%
Amount raised by debt = 35% * 5,700,000 = $1,995,000
Less than $2 million so cost of debt is 10%
WACC = cost of equity * weight of equity + weight of debt * cost of debt * ( 1 - tax rate)
= (16% * 65% ) + (35% * 10% * (1 - 40% tax))
= 12.5%
Answer:
the issue price of the bonds is $593,177
Explanation:
The computation of the issue price of the bonds is shown below:
Particulars Amount PV factorat 5% Present value
Semi-annual interest $28,350 11.68959 $331,400
Principal $630,000 0.41552 $261,778
Total $593,177
hence, the issue price of the bonds is $593,177
