Answer:

20.19%

Explanation:

The computation of the sustainable growth rate is shown below:

The Sustainable growth rate is

= (return on equity × b) ÷ (1 - (Return on equity × b))

= (0.21 × (1 - 0.20) ÷ (1 - (0.21 × (1 - 0.20)))

= 0.168 ÷ (1 - 0.168)

= 0.168 ÷ 0.832

= 20.19%

basically we applied the above formula to determine the sustainable growth rate

Hudson Co. reports the contribution margin income statement for 2019.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

1. Contribution Margin = $576,000

2. Contribution Margin ratio = 25%

3. Break-even point = 5,400 units

4. Break-even point in sales dollars = $1,296,000

Explanation:

Requirement 1

If Hudson Company raises its selling price to $240 per unit, the contribution margin format income statements will be as follows:

HUDSON CO.

Contribution Margin Income Statement

For Year Ended December 31, 2019

Sales Revenue ($240 × 9,600 units) = $2,304,000

<em>less</em>: variable expense <u> = $(1,728,000)</u>

($180 × 9,600 units)

Contribution Margin = $576,000

It increases due to the rise in sales price.

Requirement 2

We know,

Contribution Margin ratio = (contribution margin ÷ sales revenue) x 100

Given,

From requirement 1, we get, Contribution Margin = $576,000

And total sales revenue = $2,304,000

Putting the value into the above formula, we can get-

Contribution Margin ratio = ($576,000 ÷ $2,304,000) × 100

or, Contribution Margin ratio = 0.25 × 100

Therefore, Contribution Margin ratio = 25%

Requirement 3

We know,

Break-even point (in Units) = Fixed costs ÷ contribution margin per unit.

Given,

Fixed costs = $324,000

contribution margin per unit = sales price per unit - variable cost per unit

contribution margin per unit = $240 - $180

contribution margin per unit = $60

Putting the value into the above formula, we can get-

Break-even point (in Units) = $324,000 ÷ $60

Break-even point (in Units) = 5,400 units

It means, if Hudson company sells 5,400 units, there will be no loss or no profit.

Requirement 4

We know,

Break-even point in sales dollars = Break-even point sales in units × sales price per unit

Given,

From requirement 3, we get the break-even point sales in units = 5,400 units

Sales price per unit = $240

Putting the value into the above formula, we can get-

Break-even point in sales dollars = 5,400 units × $240

Therefore, Break-even point in sales dollars = $1,296,000

It means, if the total sales of Hudson company is $1,296,000, the company will receive no profit. It will not incur any loss too.

Answer:

E. has cross-researcher reliability.

Explanation:

Lisa here performs a study, on some topic and when she does the comparison of her study, with the studies done earlier on the same topic, she is creating the validation of her study.

If the sample area and conclusions are same, it can be stated based on the principle of majority that both the studies are correct in displaying the trend.

She is basically doing the cross researcher reliability. That she makes it confirm that other researchers also agree with the same.

Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 6.2 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 yea

iragen [17]

Answer:

a-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = -8.07%

a-2. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = -21.12%

b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = 8.94%

b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = 30.77%

c. See the attached excel file for the graph.

d. It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.

Explanation:

The price of each bond can be calculated using the following excel function:

Bond price = -PV(YTM, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)

Where;

a-1. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill?

YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = -PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = $919.29

Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($919.29 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -8.07%

a-2. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted?

YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = -PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = $788.81

Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($788.81 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -21.12%

b-1. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill be then?

YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = -PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = $1,089.36

Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($1,089.36 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 8.94%

b-2. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted be then?

rate = new YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = -PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = $1,307.73

Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($1,307.73 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 30.77%

c. Illustrate your answers by graphing bond prices versus YTM.

Note: See the attached excel file for the graph.

d. What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?

It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.
