A bond with a face value of $1,000 has 10 years until maturity, carries a coupon rate of 8.5%, and sells for $1,150. Interest is

paid annually. (Assume a face value of $1,000 and annual coupon payments.) a. If the bond has a yield to maturity of 9.5% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to nearest whole number.) b. What will be the rate of return on the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.) c. If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the real rate of return on the bond? (Assume annual interest payments.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Answer:

a. Coupon payment = 8.5% of $1000 = $85

i = 9.5%

n = 9

m =$1,000

Price of the bond after one year P1 = C* [1- 1/ (1+i)^n] /i + M / (1+i)^n

P1 = $85 * [1 – 1 / (1+9.5%) ^9] /9.5% + 1000 / (1+9.5%) ^9

P1 = $499.40 + $441.85

P1 = $941.25

b. The rate of return on the bond = (Income from one coupon payment + capital appreciation)/ Initial price of the bond

The rate of return on the bond = [$85 + ($941.25 - $1,150)]/ $1,150

The rate of return on the bond = ($85 - $208.75)/ $1,150

The rate of return on the bond = - $123.75/ $1,150

The rate of return on the bond = - 0.1076

The rate of return on the bond = -10.76%

c. f the inflation rate during the year is 3%

Real rate of return =  [(1+ Nominal rate of return)/ (1+ Inflation rate)]-1

Where Nominal rate of return = - 10.76%, Inflation rate = 3%

Real rate of return =   [(1-10.76%)/ (1+ 3%)]-1

Real rate of return = 0.08664 -1

Real rate of return = - 0.1336

Real rate of return = -13.36%

Archy [21]

Answer:

The amount Lava should charge against income during year 4 is $63,000.

Explanation:

Since amortization is assumed to be recorded at the end of each year, this can be calculated as follows:

Annual amortization expense = Cost of the patent  / Patent's estimated useful life = $90,000 / 10 = $9,000

Amortization expense recorded prior to year 4 = Annual amortization expense * 3 years =  $9,000 * 3 = $27,000

Unamortized cost of patent charge against income during year 4 = Cost of the patent - Amortization expense recorded prior to year 4 = $90,000 - $27,000 = $63,000

Therefore, the amount Lava should charge against income during year 4 is $63,000.

Degger [83]

Answer:

less than $1 million.

Explanation:

According to my research, I can say that based on the information provided within the question this next change is likely to save less than $1 million. We can predict this since the first change saved $1 million but was a reduction of 3%, the second change is a reduction of 2% so it will most likely not reach 1$ million in savings

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each unit of output requires 0.07 direct labor-hours. The direct labor rate is $8.70 per direct labor-hour. The production budget calls for producing 6,000 units in February and 6,500 units in March.

We need to determine the total direct labor hours needed for each month.

February:

Total direct labor hours= 6,000*0.07= 420 hours

Total direct labor costs= 420*8.7= $3,654

March:

Total direct labor hours= 6,500*0.07= 455 hours

Total direct labor costs= 455*8.7= $3,958.5
