Answer:

Yield to Maturity (YTM) is 7.94 %.                      

Explanation:

Yield to Maturity (YTM) refers to internal rate of return that bond holder will earn if he purchased the bond today at the current market price and held it till maturity of the bond.

Yield to Maturity of the the bond = [Coupon payment+ (Future value of bond - Present value of bond / no. of Periods)] / [(Future value of bond + Present value of bond)/2] ---- (a)

Bond maturity period = 20 years

Coupon rate = 8.3 %

Par Value = 1000

No. of periods = 2 x 20 = 40 (semi- annual)

Coupon payment = 8.3 % x 1000 = 83 = 83/2 = 41.5 (Semi-annual)

Present value of bond = 104 percent of Par value = 104

Future value of bond = 1000

YTM = ?

Putting the values in equation (a),

Semi annual YTM = [41.5 + (1000-1040 / 40)] / [(1000 + 1040)/2]

Semi annual YTM = [41.5 + (-40/40) ] / [(1040)/2]

Semi annual YTM= [41.5 - 1] / 1020

Semi annualv YTM =  40.5 / 1020 = 0.0397

Hence, Annual yield to maturity = 0.0397 x 2 = 0.0794 or 7.94 %.

= $804,846.

b. The income tax for the 1st year assuming a marginal tax rate of 40% is:

= $131,600.

c. The after-tax cash flow for the 1st year is:

= $559,400.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations;

Cost of new laboratory equipment = $1,770,000

Borrowed capital = $849,600 ($1,770,000 * 48%)

Borrowing rate = 13.4%

Borrowing interest expense for the first year = $113,846

Depreciation = $362,000

Taxable income = $329,000

Gross savings = $X

$X = $804,846 ($113,846 + $362,000 + $329,000)

Income tax for the 1st year:

Marginal tax rate = 40%

Taxable income = $329,000

= $131,600 ($329,000 * 40%)

After-tax Cash Flows for the 1st year:

Gross savings =    $804,846

Interest expense      113,846

Depreciation          362,000

Taxable income  $329,000

Income tax              131,600

Net income          $197,400

Cash Flows:

Net income               $197,400

Depreciation             362,000

After-tax cash flow $559,400

navik [9.2K]

The price of a share that pays a particular dividend amount in perpetuity is given by the below formula:

price of share=dividend/required rate of return

price of share is $91.00 per share

dividend payable in perpetuity is $6.55

required rate of return is unknown

$91=$6.55/required rate of return

required rate of return =$6.55/$91

                                       =7.20%

to confirm the required of return,I divided the by the required rate of return as shown below:

6.55/0.0.72=$90.97 .approximately $91
