Answer:

After tax cost of debt is 5.239%

Explanation:

Given:

Face value = $1,000

Bond price = $895

Coupon payments = 0.035×1,000 = $35 (coupon payment is paid semi-annually so 7% is divided by 2)

Maturity = 20×2 = 40 periods

Using bond price formula:

Bond price = Present value of face value + present value of coupon payments

Use excel function =RATE(nper,pmt,PV,FV) to calculate cost of debt.

substituting the values:

=RATE(40,35,-895,1000)

we get Pre-Tax cost of debt = 4.03% semi- annual

Annual rate is 4.03%×2 = 8.06%

Note: PV is negative as bond price is cash outflow.

After tax cost of debt = 8.06(1 - 0.35)

                                     = 5.239%

Suppose a​ seven-year, $ 1 comma 000 bond with a 7.8 % coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading with a yield to maturity of
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The price of the bond is  1,072.19  

Explanation:

The price at which the bond trades for can be computed using the pv formula in excel which tries to discount to present value all the cash inflows receivable from the bond into today's present worth.

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the yield to maturity of 6.50% divided by 2 since the bond pays interest semi-annually i.e 3.25%

nper is the number of coupon payments the bond would pay which is 7 years multiplied by 2 i.e 14

pmt is the semi-annual interest of the bond which is $1000*7.8%/2=$39

the fv is the face value of the bond of $1000

=-pv(6.5%/2,14,39,1000)=$1,072.19

Consider an investment with the returns over 4 years as shown​here:
xeze [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assume the initial invest at the beginning is $100.

The investment at end of year 4 is:

100 x 1.16 x 1.11 x 1.1 x 1.1 = 155.80

a) CAGR over the 4 years = (155.8 / 100 ) ^ (1/4) = 11.72%

b) Average annual return over 4 years = (16% +11% + 10% +10%) /4 = 11.75%

c) Since the returns over the 4 year period are not much volatile, average annual return is a better measure.

If the investment's returns are independent and identically distributed, Average annual return will be the better measure because there is no correlation between returns over the years and thus there is no point to take into consideration the compounding effect by using CAGR.

  • Full settlement generally means DISCOUNT ALLOWED.

  • Firstly , Read out the question and try to understand. It says we purchased some stuffs of Rs 30000 from the sansee stores and we payed Rs 28000 in full settlement which implies that we received the discount of Rs 30000-28000 i.e Rs 2000.

  • You must have known the rules for debit and credit. As we know In case of personal account , Debit : The receiver , We have sansee stores as the receiver so we placed it in debit side.

  • Remember: When the question says that the cash is payed through cheque , you should always consider cheque as a bank. Now , In the case of personal account , Credit : The giver. Who's the giver? Of course , bank! So , we placed it in credit side.

  • Now , In case of nominal account , Credit : the incomes or gains . The question says we received the discount so obviously it's not expenses. So, We placed discount received in credit side. You must have studied that Every debit should have equal credit. And we're done!

- Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions regarding my answer and also don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need any other help! :)
