Answer:

The answer is 10.04%

Explanation:

Yield-to-maturity (YTM) is the of return an investor is expecting from its bonds.

The payment is semiannual.

Number of years, N is 30 years[(7 years - 2 years) x 2]

YTM = ?

Present Value(PV) = $102(102% of $100)

Coupon payment (PMT) = $5.15[(10.3percent ÷ 2) x $100]

Future Value(FV) = $100

Using Financial calculator, we have:

5.02percent

This is for semiannual

Therefore, annual YTM will be:

5.02 percent x 2

10.04%

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

The actual return that an investor earn on a bond until its maturity is called the Yield to maturity. It is a long term return which is expressed in annual rate.

According to given data

It is assumed that face value of the bond is $1,000

Coupon Payment = C = $1,000 x 10.3% = $103 annually = $51.5 semiannually

Price of the Bond = P = $1,000 x 102% = $1,020

Numbers of period = n = (17-2) years x 2 = 30 periods

Use Following Formula to calculate YTM

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $51.5 + ( $1,000 - $1,020 ) / 30 ] / [ ($1,000 + $1,020 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = $50.83 / $1,010 = 0.0503 = 5.03% = 5% per Semiannual

Yield to maturity  = 5% x 2 = 10% annually

Yield to maturity = 3.56% semiannually OR 7.12% annually

The Morris Corporation has $300,000 of debt outstanding, and it pays an interest rate of 8% annually. Morris's annual sales are
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: 1.41

Explanation:

Given that,

Debt outstanding = $300,000

interest rate = 8% annually

annual sales = $1.5 million

average tax rate = 40%

net profit margin on sales = 4%

interest amount = 300,000 × 0.08

                          = $24,000

net profit = 4% of 1.5 million

                = $6,000

Profit before tax = \frac{6,000}{0.60}

                           = $10,000

earning before interest and tax = profit before tax + interest

                                                    = $10,000 + $24,000

                                                    = $34,000

TIE ratio = \frac{EBIT}{Interest}

              = \frac{34,000}{24,000}

              = 1.41
