Answer:
Courts Distributors and Eastinghouse Corporation
Dispute over Contract Price
The two parties have a legal contract. The contract was established when Courts requested Eastinghouse to send the refrigerators and bill later.
The exact price for the contract is in dispute. This dispute can be resolved between the parties. Reference to the market price will help resolve the dispute, otherwise, the parties may seek alternative dispute resolutions, like litigation, mediation, or arbitration.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Eastinghouse's invoice price for the refrigerators = $140,000
Courts' adopted market price = $120,000
b) Since Courts' reference to the price is with regard to the wholesale market price, it may be that Eastinghouse quoted the retail price instead. Since Courts is a distributor, it has the right to be charged a wholesaler's price and not a retailer's. Therefore, we can conclude that after due reference to the prevailing market price of similar refrigerators, the two parties may agree to a price of $120,000 or a little higher.
Answer: 10 years to call
Explanation:
Maturity period = 25 years
Coupon rate = 7%
6.25% basis is,
- Callable in 10 years at 103
- Callable in 15 years at 102
- Callable in 20 years at par
This bond is considered as premium bond. Therefore, in case of premium bonds, Yield to call will be lower than the yield to maturity. Here, the question is which call date should be utilized. According to the rule of thumb, it states that always use the term that is nearest to the whole call date.
Hence, on the customer's confirmation, the dollar price quoted must be based on 10 years to call.
Answer:
Explanation:
a. If you believe that the term structure next year will be the same as today’s, calculate the return on (i) the 1-year zero and (ii) the 4-year zero.
b. Which bond provides a greater expected 1-year return? O 1-year zero-coupon bond O 4-year zero-coupon bond
The return on one year bond is = 5.2%
The price of 4 year bond today

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be
If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be = 854.04
Return
