Answer:

The state of New York should offer bonds at 4.76% to make indifference to purchase their bonds than Surething Inc.

Explanation:

the corporation has to pay income taxes while the State of New York do not pay for income taxes thus his yield is after-tax.

Surething Inc after tax rate:

pre-tax x (1 - tax-rate) =6.8% x ( 1 - 30%) = 0.068 x (1-0.30)  = 0.0476 = 4.76%

Currently the corporation bond yield a higher rate than the State of New york (4.76% against 4.10%)

<em>Assets = liab + equity</em>

155,000 = 85,600 + 52,400 + Retained Earnings

155,000 - 85,600 - 52,400 = <em>17,000</em>

beginning RE 17,000

net income

revenues 36,000 - 20,000 expenses = 16,000

dividends: 3,000

ending RE: 17,000 + 16,000 - 3,000 = 30,000

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

a) $393.65

b) $458.11

c) $217.63

Explanation:

Given data:

16-year  ( n )

$1000 par value  ( FV )

6% ( R )

A) determine the initial price of the bond

 = FV / ( 1 + R ) ^ n

= 1000 / ( 1.06 ) ^ 16

= 1000 / 2.5403 = $393.65

B ) when interest rate drops to 5% determine the value of the zero-coupon rate of bond

 = FV / ( 1 + R ) ^n

 = 1000 / ( 1.05 ) ^ 16

 = 1000 / 2.1829  = $458.11

C ) when interest rate increases to 10% determine the value of the zero-coupon rate of bond

=  Fv / ( 1 + R ) ^ n

=  1000 / ( 1.1 ) ^ 16

= 1000 / 4.5950 = $217.63
