Answer:
bond market value $660
Explanation:
We need to calculate the present value of the maturity and the cuopon payment using the effective rate of 9.7%
First we do the annuity:
C 24.25 (1,000 face value x 4.85 bond rate / 2 )
time 24.00 (12 year 2 payment a year)
rate 0.04850 (current rate divide by 2 to get it annually)
PV $339.55
Then present value of the maturity
Maturity 1,000.00 the face value of the bond
time 24.00
rate 0.04850
PV 320.89
Finally we add them together:
PV coupon payment $339.5545
PV maturity $320.8910
Total $660.4455
rounding to nearest dollar
bond market value $660
Answer:
Missing word <em>"a. What must the six-month risk-free rate be in Japan"</em>
<em />
a. Spot rate = 1 US $ = 1.2377 Aus.dollar
Forward rate = 1 US $ = 1.2356 Aus.dollar
<u>1.2356</u> = <u>(1 + i Ad)</u>
1.2377 (1 + 0.05)
0.9983 * (1.05) = 1 + i.Ad
1.048215 = 1 + i.Ad
i.Ad = 1.048215 - 1
i.Ad = 0.048215
i.Ad = 4.82%
b. Spot rate = 1 US $ = 100.3300 Japan Yen
Forward rate = 1 US $ = 100.0500 Japan Yen
<u>100.0500</u> = <u>(1 + i Ad)</u>
100.3300 (1 + 0.05)
0.9972 * (1.05) = 1 + i.Ad
1.04706 = 1 + i.Ad
i.Ad = 1.04706 - 1
i.Ad = 0.04706
i.Ad = 4.71%
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Diversification is a business strategy in which a company enters a field or market different from its core activity. It is a risk management strategy that mixes a wide variety of investments within a portfolio by allocating capital in a way that reduces the exposure to any one particular asset or risk.
Diversification merits strong consideration whenever a single-business company is faced with diminishing market opportunities and stagnating sales in its principal business.
It is and should be the managers job to do that
Answer: 4.10%
Explanation:
Solve for the current rate being used using the RATE function on Excel.
Number of periods = 15
Payment = 1,000 * 5% = 50
Present value = Current market price - floatation costs = 900 - 25 = 875
Future value = 1,000 face value
The result will be:
= 6.31%
If tax is 35%, after-tax cost is:
= 6.31% * (1 - 35%)
= 4.10%
