Answer:

The forward rate of interest for the second year is;

a. 10.01%

Explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine the 1 year final value of the investment</em>

The formula for calculating the final value for the 1 year investment is;

F.V=P.V(1+r)

where;

F.V=final value

P.V=present value

r=yield to maturity

In our case;

F.V=unknown

P.V=x

r=8%=8/100=0.08

replacing;

F.V=x(1+0.08)=1.08 x

<em>Step 2: Determine the 2 year final value of the investment</em>

Using the formula;

F.V=P.V(1+r)²

where;

F.V=unknown

P.V=x

r=9%=9/100=0.09

replacing;

F.V=x(1+0.09)²=1.1881 x

<em>Step 3: Determine the forward rate of interest for the second year</em>

The forward rate of interest can be expressed as;

forward rate of interest=(2-year future value/1-year future value)-1

replacing;

forward rate of interest=(1.1881 x/1.08 x)-1=0.10009×100=10.01%

forward rate of interest=10.01%

A buyer with a 15-year, $250,000 loan at a 5.5% interest rate has a monthly principal and interest payment totaling $2,042.71. W
lorasvet [3.4K]

<u>Given:</u>

Loan amount = $250000

Interest rate = 5.5%

Interest payment = $2042.71

<u>To find:</u>

Total amount of interest

<u>Solution:</u>

The total number of months in 15 years = 15\times12=180\text{ years }

Total monthly payments will be 180\times \$2042.71 = \$367687.8

So, the total pay-backs will be $3,67,687.8

Total interest paid will be as follows,

\text{Total interest paid = Total pay-backs - Loan amount}

On plugging-in the values in the above formula we get,

\Rightarrow \$3,67,687.8-\$250,000=\$1,17,687.80

Therefore, the total amount of interest that the borrower will pay over the course of the loan is $1,17,687.80.

. El Capitan Foods has a capital structure of 36% debt and 64% equity, its tax rate is 35%, and its beta (leveraged) is 1.4. Bas
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The firm's unleveraged beta is 1.0251

Explanation:

Hamada's equation  is used to separate the financial risk of a levered firm from its business risk.

The Hamada equation:

Bu= Bl/(1 + (1 − T)(D/E))

Bl = 1.4

wd = 0.36

Tax rate = 35%

D/E = wd / (1 – wd) = 0.5625 = 56.25%

= 1.4/ (1+(1-0.35)(0.5625))

=1.4/ 1 + (0.65)(0.5625)

=1.4/1.36

= 1.0251
