Answer:
option b) -0.35%
Explanation:
For tax rate = 40%
After after-tax cost of debt = cost of debt × ( 1 - Rate )
= 7% × ( 1 - 0.40 )
= 4.20%
For tax rate = 45%
After after-tax cost of debt = cost of debt × ( 1 - Rate )
= 7% × ( 1 - 0.45 )
= 3.85%
Therefore, the change in cost of debt = 3.85% - 4.20% = -0.35%
Hence,
Correct answer is option b) -0.35%

Answer:
Asset U
Explanation:
Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset Q = Expected return / standard deviation
Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset Q = 6.5% / 5.5%
Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset Q = 1.1818
Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset U = Expected return / standard deviation
Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset U = 8.8% / 5.5%
Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset U = 1.6
Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset B = Expected return / standard deviation
Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset B = 8.8% / 6.5%
Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset B = 1.3538
The investor should prefer Asset U because its has the highest reward to volatility ratio among the three options.
Answer: -$100
Explanation:
Value of forward contract = Selling price - Forward price on bond
Forward price = Present value of cashflows + Present value of bond
Periodic rate = 7%/ 2 = 3.5% per semi annum
= 8% / 2 = 4%
3.5% will be used to discount the payment 6 months from now as that is the 6 month rate. The rest will be 4%.
= (80 / (1 + 3.5%) ) + ( 80 / ( 1 + 4%)²) + (940 / ( 1 +4%)²)
= $1,020.342
= $1,020
Value of forward contract = 920 - 1,020
= -$100
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units of production for both materials and conversion costs is given below:
For material
= Units completed + ending work in process × completion percentage
= 7,700 + 2,100 × 0.75
= 9,275 units
And, for conversion cost
= Units completed + ending work in process × completion percentage
= 7,700 + 2,100 × 0.25
= 8,225 units
