Answer:
$1,241
Explanation:
For computing the net advantage to leasing first we have to determine the total cash flow from leasing and total cash flow from buying which is shown below:
For leasing:
Year Lease payment PVF at 5.8% Present value
1 $6,500 0.9452 $6,144
2 $6,500 0.8934 $5,807
3 $6,500 0.8444 $5,489
Total outflow $17,440
For buy:
Year Outflow or inflow PVF at 5.8% Present value
0 ($23,000) 1 ($23,000)
1 $1,610 0.9452 $1,522
2 $1,610 0.8934 $1,438
3 $1,610 0.8444 $1,359
Total outflow $18,681
Now the net advantage to leasing is
= Buy outflow - leasing outflow
= $18,681 - $17,440
= $1,241
Answer:
A - If a bond sells at a discount, the yield to maturity is greater than the current yield
Explanation:
Yield to maturity is the expected return if the bond is held till maturity. Current yiled is the return if the bond is sold today. There is an evident relationship between yield to maturity (TYM) and the current yield.
“When a bond's market price is above par, which is known as a premium bond, its current yield and YTM are lower than its coupon rate. Conversely, when a bond sells for less than par, which is known as a discount bond, its current yield and YTM are higher than the coupon rate. Only on occasions when a bond sells for its exact par value are all three rates identical” (Bloomenthal, 2020).
According to the above statements, options C, B and D are eliminated. This leaves option A (If a bond sells at a discount, the yield to maturity is greater than the current yield) as the correct answer. This is true because YTM is calculated on purchase price rather than par value, if the purchase price is less than par value, the YTM will be greater than the current yield.
Answer:
- after-tax average annual return = 14.41%
- after tax dividends per year = $38.88
Explanation:
initial investment = 30 shares x $72.49 per share = $2,174.70
- dividends received per year = 30 shares x $0.36 x 4 (dividends paid every quarter) = $43.20
after tax dividends per year = $43.20 x 90% = $38.88
- long term capital gains = (30 shares x $183 per share) - initial investment = $5,490 - $2,174.70 = $3,315.30
taxes on long term capital gains = $3,315.30 x 10% = $331.53
To calculate Mason and Kirsty's after tax average annual return (interest rate) we can use the excel spreadsheet =RATE function, where:
- PV = -2174.70
- FV = 5490 - 331.53 = 5158.47
- Pmt = 38.88
- Nper = 7
=RATE (nper, pmt, pv, [fv])
=RATE (7,38.88,-2174.70,5158.47) = 14.41%
Answer:
$50,800
Explanation:
Increase in assets = Current Assets * Percentage change in sales = $800,000 * 20% = $160,000
Increase in current liabilities = Current liabilities * Percentage change in sales = $210,000 * 20% = $42,000
Increase in retaned earning = Increased sales*Profit Margin*Retention ratio = $1,000,000*120%*8%*(1-0.30) = $67,200
External financing need = Increase in Assets - Increase in liabilities - Increase in retained earning
External financing need = $160,000 - $42,000 - $67,200
External financing need = $50,800
