Mekhanik [1.2K]

Explanation:

To begin with, the term called ''stuck in the middle'' is known in the business world for the main reason of being stuck in a situation where the costs of the firms are to high to allow them to have competitive and attractive prices and and that also these companies do no differentiate their product enough in the way to generate value to the customer they want to reach and therefore it is said that these firms are stuck in the middle due to the fact that they can not improve their benefits because of their high cost structure and low differentation.

Assume a $1,000 Treasury inflation-protected bond has a 2 percent coupon and a face value at issuance of $1,000. The reference C

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The bond has a 2 percent coupon and a face value at issuance of $1000 which is the same with the Treasury inflation-protected bond. However, the reference Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services has increased from 202.34 to 203.18. From this deduction, what I know for certain about this bond is that the interest payment have increased and the coupon rate is still 2 percent.

Viserion, Inc., is trying to determine its cost of debt. The firm has a debt issue outstanding with 25 years to maturity that is

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Pretax = 5.61%

After tax = 4.26%

Explanation:

The cost of debt will be the Yield to maturity of the bonds.

91 = present values of the 25 year annuity + present value of the maturity

There is no formula for exact YTM

we can either use excel or calculate by approximation:

In this case we will calcualte the YTM by aprroximation

$YTM = 2\times (\frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n }}{\frac{F+P}{2}})$

C= 25 cuopon payment 1,000 x 5% / 2 becayse paymenr are semiannually

F= 1000 the face value is 1,000

P= 910 the present value or market value is 91% of the face value

n= 50 25 year at 2 payment per year

$YTM = 2 \times (\frac{25 + \frac{1000-910}{50 }}{\frac{1000+910}{2}})$

dividend 26.8

divisor 955

YTM 5.6125654%

This will be the pretax cost of debt

then we calculate the after tax cost of debt

pre-tax cost of debt ( 1 - t ) = after-tax

5.61% ( 1 - .24 ) = 4,2636

What is the present value on January 1, 2016, of $30,000 due on January 1, 2021, and discounted at 12% compounded annually?What

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

1. Future Value = 30,000

Rate = 0.12

Annual period, NPER = 5

Present value, PV = PV(0.12, 5,0,-30,000 ,0)

Present value, PV = $17,022.81

2. Future value = 8,000

Quarterly rate = 16%/4 = 4%

Number of quarters, Nper = 4.5*4 = 18

Present value, PV = PV (4% , 18, 0, -8,000 , 0)

Present value, PV = $3,949.02

3. Future value = 8,000

Annual rate = 0.1

Annual period, Nper = 5

Present value, PV = PV(0.1, 5, 0, -8000, 0)

Present value, PV = $4,967.37

Present value Discount = 8,000 - 4,967.37

Present value Discount = $3,032.63
