Answer:

The equipment shall be financially attractive when we have annual cash inflow in excess of 132,686

Explanation:

Calculate the PVIFA ( Present value of interest factor annuity ) at r = 12 % and n = 4 years

= [ 1 - (1.12)-4 ] / 0.12 = 3.03734935

Minimum annual cash flow needed = Investment / PVIFA = 403,014 / 3.03734935

= 132686

The equipment shall be financially attractive when we have annual cash inflow in excess of 132,686

Masters Corp. issues two bonds with 20-year maturities. Both bonds are callable at $1,050. The first bond is issued at a deep di
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

The YTM of the bond at par value is equals to its coupon rate, 8.75%. Other things being equal, this 4% coupon rate bond will be more eye-catching as the coupon rate is lower than the current market yields, and its price is far below the call price. So, if yields drop, capital gains on the bond will not be restricted by the call price.

b)

If an investor foresees that yields will fall considerably, the 4% bond proposes a better expected return.

c)

Implicit call protection is offered in the sense that any likely fall in yields would not be nearly enough to make the firm consider calling the bond. In this sense, the call feature is almost irrelevant
