Vesna [10]

Answer:

Zara management should not move from the decentralized business structure to a centralized one.

The reason is that each branch has a different location and therefore has a different customer base in addition to different cultures that prevail in that geographical region.

A bond has a par value of $1,000, a time to maturity of 10 years, and a coupon rate of 8.60% with interest paid annually. If the

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Capital Gain Yield = 0.94%

Explanation:

Par Value = $1,000

Current Price = $860

Annual Coupon Rate = 8.60%

Annual Coupon = 8.60% * $1,000

Annual Coupon = $86

Time to Maturity = 10 years

Let annual YTM be i%

$860 = $86 * PVIFA(i%, 10) + $1,000 * PVIF(i%, 10)

Using financial calculator:

N = 10

PV = -860

PMT = 86

FV = 1000

I/Y = 10.98%

Annual YTM = 10.98%

Price Next Year = $86 * PVIFA(10.98%, 9) + $1,000 * PVIF(10.98%, 9)

Price Next Year = $86 * (1 - (1/1.1098)^9) / 0.1098 + $1,000 / 1.1098

Price Next Year = $868.12

Capital Gain Yield = (Price Next Year - Current Price) / Current Price

Capital Gain Yield = ($868.12 - $860) / $860

Capital Gain Yield = 0.0094

Capital Gain Yield = 0.94%

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

a. AIE will have to borrow $25,5102.04

b. The Effective Rate on this Loan is 6.63%

c. If AIE can convince the bank to remove the compensating balance requirement the effective rate is 6.50%

Explanation:

In order to calculate how much will AIE have to borrow we would have to use the following formula:

Amount to be borrowed = Cost of Truck / (1 - Compensating balance)

Amount to be borrowed = $250000 / (1 - 0.02)

a. Amount to be borrowed = $25,5102.04

In order to calculate the effective rate on this loan we calculate the following:

Effective Rate on this Loan = Interest / Amount received

Effective Rate on this Loan = 16581.63 / 250000

b. Effective Rate on this Loan = 6.63%

c. If AIE can convince the bank to remove the compensating balance requirement the Effective rate = annual rate, hence the effective rate is 6.50%
