)In six months, your company plans to issue a 1.5 year zero coupon bond with a face value of $500,000 to finance a small acquisi

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

$441,495

Explanation:

Since the information is incomplete, I looked for the missing part and found the attached information.

the current yield of a 1.5 years zero coupon bond = (100 / 89.9)¹/¹°⁵ - 1 = 0.0736 = 7.36%

the current yield of a 6 months zero coupon bond = (100 / 97.087)¹/⁰°⁵ - 1 = 0.0609 = 6.09%

now to calculate the future interest rate:

(1.0736²/1.0609) - 1 = 0.0865 = 8.65%

since we are told to determine the price of the bond:

(100/P)¹/¹°⁵ - 1 = 0.0865

(100/P)¹/¹°⁵ = 1.0865

100/P = 1.0865¹°⁵

100/P = 1.1325

100/1.1325 = P

P = 88.299

the expected price of the bond = 88.299% x $500,000 = $441,495

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.

Contribution Margin=Sales - variable cost =$8.75-$3.50=$5.25

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin / Sales = $5.25/ $8.75=60%

Pre-Tax Net Income=Net Income/(1-tax rate)

$117,600/(1-0.36)=$183,750

Target Revenue =Fixed cost +Target Pre-Tax net Income/Contribution margin Ratio =($430,500+$183,750)/0.6=$1,023,750

2. Number of customers needed to Break Even

Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit=$430,500/$5.25=82,000 Customers

Number of customers to earn 117,600 = (Fixed costs + 117,600)/5.25 = (430,500+117,600)/5.25 = 104,400

3.

Sales (170,000*8.75) 1,487,500

Less: Cost of goods sold (170,000*3.50) -595,000

Contribution margin 892,500

Less: fixed costs -430,500

Net Income before tax 462,000

Less: tax rate (462,000*36%) - 166,320

Net Income after tax 295,680

A new alloy can be produced by Process A, which costs $200,000 to implement. The operating cost will be $10,000 per quarter with

Andreyy89

Answer:

Difference between A and B =$42398.5

Process B is better as its PW value is smaller than Process A.

Explanation:

In order to use present worth, both Alternatives must have same time period. Since Process B has 4 years means 16 quarters so we make process A to have 16 quarters two with 2% interest rate per quarter.

Note:

We are going to use Compound Interest tables to simplify our work. Formulas can also be used.

For Process A:

Present value of process A= $-200,000-200,000(P/F,2\%,8)-10,000(P/A,2\%,16)+25,000(P/F,2\%,8)+25,000(P/F,2\%,16)$

Present value of process A= $-200,000-200,000(0.8535)-10,000(13.578)+25,000(0.8535)+25,000(0.7284)$

Present value of process A=-$466,932.5

For Process B:

Present value of process B= $-250,000-15,000(P/A,2\%,16)+40,000(P/A,2\%,16)$

Present value of process B= $-250,000-15,000(13.578)+40,000(0.7284)$

Present value of process B=-$424,534

Difference between A and B =(-$424,534)-(-$466,932.5)

Difference between A and B =$42398.5

Process B is better as its PW value is smaller than Process A.
