Answer:

As a result of a fall in interest and YTM, the bond price will increase by $15.04

Explanation:

To calculate the change in price due to fall in interest rate, we must first calculate the price of the bond before and after the fall of interest rates.

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 0.062 * 0.5 = $31

Total periods (n)= 2 * 2 = 4

r or YTM = 6% * 1/2 = 3% or 0.03

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

<u />

<u>Before Interest rates Fell</u>

Bond Price = 31 * [( 1 - (1+0.03)^-4) / 0.03]  +  1000 / (1+0.03)^4

Bond Price = $1003.717098 rounded off to $1003.72

<u />

<u />

<u>After Interest Rates Fell</u>

New YTM = 6% - 0.8%   =  5.2% or 0.052

Semi Annual YTM = 0.052 * 0.5  = 0.026

Bond Price = 31 * [( 1 - (1+0.026)^-4) / 0.026]  +  1000 / (1+0.026)^4

Bond Price = $1018.764647 rounded off to $1018.76

Change in Bond Price = 1018.76 - 1003.72   = $15.04

As a result of a fall in interest and YTM, the bond price increased by $15.04

Sag manufacturing is planning to sell 400,000 hammers for $6 per unit. The contribution margin ratio is 20%
Tasya [4]

The question is incomplete. The following is the complete question.

Sag Manufacturing is planning to sell 400,000 hammers for $6 per unit. The  contribution margin ratio is 20%. If Sweet will break even at this level of sales, what are  the fixed costs?

Answer:

Fixed costs are $480000

Explanation:

The break even sales is the value of total sales or total revenue where it equals total cost and the company makes no profit or no loss. The break even in sales is calculated by dividing the fixed costs by the contribution margin ratio.

Break even in sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio

Plugging in the available values we can calculate the value of fixed cost. We know that the break even in units is at 400000 units. Thus, its value in sale will be 400000 * 6 = 2400000

2400000 = Fixed cost / 0.2

2400000 * 0.2 = Fixed cost

Fixed costs = $480000
