Answer:

$441,495

Explanation:

Since the information is incomplete, I looked for the missing part and found the attached information.

the current yield of a 1.5 years zero coupon bond = (100 / 89.9)¹/¹°⁵ - 1 = 0.0736 = 7.36%

the current yield of a 6 months zero coupon bond = (100 / 97.087)¹/⁰°⁵ - 1 = 0.0609 = 6.09%

now to calculate the future interest rate:

(1.0736²/1.0609) - 1 = 0.0865 = 8.65%

since we are told to determine the price of the bond:

(100/P)¹/¹°⁵ - 1 = 0.0865

(100/P)¹/¹°⁵ = 1.0865

100/P = 1.0865¹°⁵

100/P = 1.1325

100/1.1325 = P

P = 88.299

the expected price of the bond = 88.299% x $500,000 = $441,495

Rollins Corporation is constructing its marginal cost of capital (MCC) schedule. Its target capital structure is 30 percent debt
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The After Tax Cost of Debt = 0.072 or 7.2%

Explanation:

The question is to determine the After Tax Cost of Debt for Rolling Stone.

This is carried out as follows

Step 1: When we decide to calculate the Yield to Maturity, it should be noted that Market Value = Par Value

Therefore,

Coupon Rate which is the same as the Yield to Maturity (YTM) = 12%

Step 2: Based on this derivative, therefore,

After Tax Cost of Debt = Yield TO Maturity Rate (1-Marginal Tax Rate)

= 12% (1-40%)

= 0.12 (1-0.4)

The After Tax Cost of Debt = 0.072 or 7.2%

Joss is a marketing consultant. Iris and Daphne are potential customers interested in commissioning Joss to undertake a market s
posledela

Answer: d. both Iris and Daphne will want to purchase Joss's services but Joss will not be willing to undertake the job.

Explanation:

Iris will want Joss's services but they will be unable to afford them as Iris is only willing to pay $500 whereas Joss wants $1,200 for the job.

The same goes for Daphne who is only willing to pay $800.

Both of them will therefore want to hire Joss but will be unable to.

Joss could however charge both of them their willingness to pay and then sum the cash up and give them both the research whilst still making a profit.
