Answer:
Balance after 30 years = $151,018.50
Explanation:
In order to calculate this, we will calculate the future value on an amount invested, gaining interest over the years of investment, and this is given by:
where:
FV = future value
PV = present value
r = interest rate
t = time in years.
Hence the future value is calculated as follows:
1. For the first 10 years at 7% interest:
7% interest = 7/100 = 0.07
2. For the last 20 years at 9.5%(0.095) interest:
Note that for the remaining 20 years, the present value (PV) used = 24,589.392, as ending balance after the first 10 years
Total Future value earned = $151,018.50
Answer:
the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%
Explanation:
the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.
We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104
with excel or a financial calculator
PV of the coupon payment
C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)
time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)
rate <em>0.052787474</em>
PV $99.4338
PV of the maturity
Maturity 100.00
time 60.00
rate <em>0.052787474</em>
PV 4.57
<em><u>Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:</u></em>
PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity $4.5662 = $104.0000
The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.
This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:
0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947
The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%

Answer:
A. That's the point where total revenue is maximized
Explanation:
Demand Curve is a downward sloping curve representing inverse relationship between price & quantity demanded.
Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price change. It can be measured geometrically on a demand curve point by :
Demand curve segment below the point / Demand curve segment above the point.
This way the elasticity keeps on decreasing as we move downwards on the demand curve [Ed=∞ to Ed >1 to Ed = 1 to Ed < 1 to Ed = 0] i.e [from perfectly elastic to elastic to unitary elastic to inelastic to perfectly inelastic demand].
If Demand is Elastic [Ed >1] : There is negative relationship between price and Total Revenue. This point is on the upper segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P- TR negative relationship implies that TR can be increased by decreasing Price.
If Demand is Inelastic [Ed <1] : There is positive relationship between price &total revenue. This point is on the lower segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P-TR positive relationship implies that TR can be increased by increasing price.
So: The best Total Revenue Maximising point is on the middle of demand curve where demand is unitary elastic [Ed=1] - as any other deviation from this point would create an incentive to change price to generate higher revenue.
