Answer:

Points are charged and the loan has a 30 year maturity but prepaid in five years

Explanation:

When you purchase points to lower your monthly mortgage payments, the bank (or lender) sell them calculating a 30 year payment schedule. If you pay the loan in a shorter period, it means that the points were sold at a very high price o you actually end up paying higher effective interest rate. That without even considering any possible prepayment penalties. But sometimes knowing that your mortgage is paid lowers your stress and it may be worth it from a personal (not financial) point of view.

Mariana [72]

Answer: The value of the bond will decrease

Explanation:

The Interest rate has a negative inverse relationship with the value of a bond . When the interest rate increases the value of a bond decreases and when interest rate decreases the bond value increases. Bonds with low coupon rates tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes this is known has coupon effect.

Bonds with long time frame (long term bonds), they also tend to be are more sensitive to changes in the interest rate this is known has the maturity effect. Therefore a change in the interest rate will cause a huge change in the value of a Bond with low coupon rate and long time period.

The Bond is a 20 year Bonds which qualifies it to be a long term bond and the coupon Rate is 7%, with these facts and knowing that long term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes we can conclude that the sudden increase of the interest rate to 15% will cause a huge decrease in the value of the bond

Wilson’s is reviewing a project with an internal rate of return of 13.09 percent and a beta of 1.42. The market risk premium is

maria [59]

Answer:

Accepted and rejected

Explanation:

Since the internal rate of return is 13.09% and the WACC is 12.68%

As we can see that the internal rate of return is higher than the WACC as WACC is considered as the discount rate

So the project should be accepted

And, if CAPM is used

So, the expected rate of return is

If CAPM is used

Risk-free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium

= 2.9% + 1.42 × 8.1%

= 2.9% + 11.502%

= 14.40%

And, The Internal rate of return = 13.09%

Since the internal rate of return is less than the expected rate of return therefore the project should be rejected

Logan and Johnathan exchange land, and the exchange qualifies as like kind under § 1031. Because Logan's land (adjusted basis of

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

a. Logan's recognized gain is $38,600

b. Logan's recognized gain is $23,160

Explanation:

a. If the worth of the land for Jonathan is $183,350, then the gain recognized by Logan would be;

the lower of the realized gain between the amount realized of $231,600 - adjusted basis of $193,000 = $38,600

or the fair market worth of the received boot i.e $48,250.

Therefore, Logan's recognized gain is $38,600

b. Suppose Jonathan's land is worth, $208,440, then we can calculate Logan's recognized gain to be ;

the lower of the realized gain I.e amount realized of $231,600 - adjusted basis $193,00 = $38,600

or the fair market value of the received boot I.e $23,160 .

Therefore, Logan's recognized gain is $23,160
