Answer:
the interest rate is missing, so I looked for similar questions and found that the semiannual interest rate is 3%.
first of all, we must determine the amount of money that we need to have in our account in order to be able to withdraw $25,000 in 10 years.
You will start making your semiannual deposits today and they will end in exactly 2 years, so we need to find out the present value of the $25,000 in two years:
PV = $25,000 / (1 + 3%)¹⁶ = $15,579.17
that is now the future value of our annuity due:
FV = semiannual deposit x FV annuity due factor (3%, 5 periods)
$15,579.17 = semiannual deposit x 5.46841
semiannual deposit = $15,579.17 / 5.46841 = $2,848.94
Answer: 1. $218750 ; 2. $231, 250 ; 3. $11562.50
Explanation:
1. The bonds with a par value of $250,000 and implied selling price of 87 ½.
Cash proceed = 250,000 × 87.5%
= $218,750
2. Since it's semiannual interest payments, the total amount of bond interest expense that will be recognized over the life of these bonds will be:
[20 × (250,000 × 8% × 6/12)]+ $250,000 - $218,750
= $200,000 + $250,000 - $218,750
= $231, 250
3. The amount of bond interest expense recorded on the first interest payment date will be:
= Total bond interest expense/number of payments
= $231,250/20
= $11562.50
Answer: 14%
Explanation:
We can calculate this using the Gordon Growth Model which looks like this,
P = D1 / r - g
P is the current stock price
D1 is the next dividend
r is the rate of return or the cost of capital
g is the growth rate.
We have all those figures except the cost of capital so making r the subject of the formula we can solve for it. Doing that will make the formula,
r = D/ P + g
r = 1.55 / 22.10 + 0.07
r = 0.1401
r = 14%
14% is the equity cost of capital.
