Answer:

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, the best thing for the agent to do would be to bring the information to the attention of the firm's supervisory principal named to handle such matters in a Supervisory Procedures Manual. That is because inside information or insider trading is illegal and even though it does not need to be reported to the state securities Administrator, it should still be handled by the firm's supervisory principal in order for it to be handled correctly so that the firm does not get into trouble.

Cost of Debt. Micro Spinoffs Inc. issued 20-year debt a year ago at par value with a coupon rate of 8%, paid annually. Today, th
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

5.925%

Explanation:

For computing the cost of debt, first we have to determine the YTM by using the Rate formula that is shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $1,050

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 8%  = $80

NPER = 20 year - 1 year = 19 year

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  

1. The pretax cost of debt is 7.50%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 7.50% × ( 1 - 0.21)

= 5.925%

You are trying to decide between a par value corporate bond carrying a coupon rate of 6.25% per year and a par value municipal b
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

D.

Municipal bond because the equivalent taxable yield is 6.6%

Explanation:

we should make the important difference that municipal bonds are tax free while corporate bonds don't.

Therefore we should solve for the after tax rate fo the corporate bond:

pretax (1-t) = after tax -rate\\0.0625(1-0.28) = 0.0625(0.72) = 0.045

The corporate bond as a yield of 4.5% after taxes which is lower than the municipal bond. This make it more attractive

We can also solve for the pre-tax rate of the municipal bond:

pretax(1-t) = after tax - rate\\pretax (1-0.28) = 0.0475\\pretax = 0.0475/0.72 = 0,065972 = 0.066

the municipal bonds would be equivalent to a 6.6% corporate bonds.

This makes option D correct.

Assume you have $2,000 in a savings account at the beginning of the year and the price level is equal to 100. If the price level
leva [86]

Answer:

$1,667

Explanation:

Given that,

Savings account at the beginning of the year = $2,000

Price level at the beginning of the year = 100

Price level at the end of the year = 120

Price level increases from 100 to 120

Therefore, what was worth $120 earlier, is not worth only $100.

Hence, $120 at the beginning of the year is worth = $100 at the end of the year

$1 at the beginning of the year is worth = ($100 ÷ $120) at the end of the year

Savings of $2,000 at the beginning of the year is worth:

= ($100 ÷ $120) × $2,000

= 0.833 × $2,000

= $1,667

Therefore, the real value of the savings is $1,667.
