Answer:

Warehouse B:

  • ship 200 refrigerators to outlet 1
  • ship 100 refrigerators to outlet 2

Warehouse A:

  • ship 200 refrigerators to outlet 2

Explanation:

                      Outlet 1 Outlet 2 Availability

Warehouse A    36             30    400

Warehouse B    30     25    300

Requirements  200          300

You should ship 200 refrigerators from warehouse B to outlet 1, total distribution costs = 200 x $30 = $6,000

You should ship 100 refrigerators from warehouse B to outlet 2, and 200 refrigerators from warehouse A to outlet 2, total distribution costs = (100 x $25) + (200 x $30) = $8,500

total distribution costs = $14,500

The difference in distribution costs from warehouses to outlet 1 is $6, and the difference in distribution costs from warehouses to outlet 2 is $5, so you should send all the refrigerators from warehouse B to outlet 1 to incur in the lowest possible cost.

g An investment bank agrees to underwrite an issue of 5 million shares of stock for Longard Corp. (1). If the investment bank un
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Longard Corp.

The money that Longard Corp. receives is:

= $75 million.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of shares issued = 5 million

Investment bank underwriter pays per share to Longard Corp = $15

Stock price to the public = $20 per share

Total amount received from the underwriter = $75 million ($15 * 5 million)

b) The calculations show that the investment bank will eventually receive $100 million ($20 * 5 million) from the public offer.  It then charges $5 per share (representing a total underwriting fee of $25 million).  This is why it remits only $75 million to Longard Corp.

Answer:

2.11%

YTM 0.089142162

YTC 0.068070103

Difference: 0.021072059 = 0.0211 = 2.11%

Explanation:

To calculate each rate we must solve for a rate at which the future coupon payment and maturity (or call value) equals the market price:

This is solve for excel and goal seek tool

It could also be solve with a financial calculator

YTC:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

Coupon payment: $ 120

time 5 yeaars

rate 0.068070103 (solved with excel)

120 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0680701028057608)^{-5} }{0.0680701028057608} = PV\\

PV $494.5766

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity: $ 1,050 (call price)

time   5.00

rate  0.068070103

\frac{1050}{(1 + 0.0680701028057608)^{5} } = PV  

PV   755.42

PV c $494.5766

PV m  $755.4235

PV $972.2006

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity $ 1,000.00
