Total interest cost

a. $3,276

b. $3,588

c. $3,900

d. $4,368

Total balance left = $39,000-$7800 (20% of Cost of cottage)=$31,200

a) For monthly payment

$31,200/300 months (equivalent For 25 years) = $104

Total cost of Interest= monthly Interest% x monthly payment x 300 months= 10.5% x $104 x 300 months = $3,276.

b) For monthly payment

$31,200/300 months (equivalent For 25 years) = $104

Total cost of Interest= monthly Interest% x monthly payment x 300 months= 11.5% x $104 x 300 months = $3,588.

c) For monthly payment

$31,200/300 months (equivalent For 25 years) = $104

Total cost of Interest= monthly Interest% x monthly payment x 300 months= 12.5% x $104 x 300 months = $3,900.

Dr. Faulk's Outdoor Market wants to raise $2 million by selling 20-year coupon bonds at par. Comparable bonds in the market have

Greeley [361]

Answer:

The coupon rate should be: 6.62%.

Explanation:

* Yield to maturity calculation:

With the comparable bond in the market, we have:

+ Semiannual coupon payment = 2 million x 6.3% / 2 = $63,000

+ Price of the bond = 2,000,000 x 96.5% = $1,930,000

=> 1,930,000 = [ (63,000/YTM) x ( 1 - (1+ YTM)^(-40) ] + [2,000,000/(1+YTM)^40] <=> YTM = 3.31%.

* Coupon rate calculation:

To raise $2 million with the duration for 20-year, the present value of the coupon streams from the Bond the company offers plus the present value of the face value repayment in 20 years time; discounting at YTM, should equal to $2 million:

we have:

2,000,000 = [ (Coupon payment/3.31%) x ( 1 - 1.0331^(-40) ] + [2,000,000/1.0331^40] <=> Coupon payment = $66,200.

=> Coupon rate = Semiannual coupon payment / Face value x 2 = 66,200/2,000,000 x 2 = 6.62%
