Answer:

If Chicago municipal bonds yield  is 10% then Carter's treasurer make indifferent between the two.

Explanation:

Because Treasury Bond is exempt from tax income and both have same maturity, and they are equally risky and liquid; we then have the equation as below

Treasury bonds yield = Chicago municipal bonds yield after tax

⇔ 6% = Chicago municipal bonds yield * (1 - tax rate 40%)

⇔ 6% = Chicago municipal bonds yield * 0.6

⇒ Chicago municipal bonds yield = 6%/  0.6 = 10%

On January 1, Year 1, Greenfield, Inc. issues $100,000 of 9% bonds maturing in 10 years when the market rate of interest is 8%.
ELEN [110]

Answer:

When using a financial calculator to compute the issue price of the bonds, the applicable periodic interest rate ("I") is 3.923%

Explanation:

Hi, first, the discount interest rate that you have to choose is 8%, because 9% is the coupon rate (which in our case would be 9%/2=4.5% and this is used only to find the amount to be paid semi-annually).

Now we know we have to choose 8%, but this is an effective rate (I know this is an effective rate because no units were mentioned), and by definition it is a periodic rate, but it is not the rate that we need since the payments are going to be made in a semi-annual way, therefore we need to use the following equation.

r(semi-annual)=[1+r(annual)]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1

So, everything should look like this.

r(semi-annual)=[1+0.08]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.03923

Therefore, the periodic interest that yuo have to use to calculate the price of the bond is 3.923%

Best of luck.
