Answer:

Change in government expenditure needed = 300

Explanation:

Multiplier 'k' = Change in Income / Change in Govt. expenditure =  dY / d GE = 1 / ( 1-MPC )

Desired change in Y, ie GDP = 900 billion , MPC = 2 / 3.

k = 1 / ( 1 - 2/3 ) = 1 / ( 1/3 ) = 3

3 = 900 / d GE

d GE = 900 / 3 = 300

Change in government expenditure = 300

Answer: The coupon rate is 13%

Explanation:

We would first calculate the Coupon Payment and then later using the coupon payment we would compute the Coupon rate.

PV = \frac{FV}{(1+r)^{N} } + A [[\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+r)^{N} } }{r} ]]

Where,

FV = $1,000

PV = $1,291.31

r = 8%

N = 8 Years

A = Coupon Payment

1291.31 = \frac{1000}{(1+0.08)^{8} } + A [\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+0.08)^{8} } }{0.08} ]

Solve for A

A = 130.69

The coupon payment is $130

Coupon rate = (Coupon payment / Face value) x 100

                     = \frac{130}{1000} x 100

                     = 13 %

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Times interest earned (TIE) = 7.4 times

Explanation:

The times interest earned (TIE) ratio is a measure used to analyze the company's ability to meet its debt obligations on the basis of its current income level. The TIE ratio is calculated as follows,

Times Interest Earned (TIE)  =  EBIT / Total Interest expense

Where,

  • EBIT is the earnings of the company before interest and tax

To calculate TIE, we first need to determine the EBIT. EBIT can be calculated by backward working. Thus, EBIT is:

EBIT = Net income + tax + interest expense

EBIT = 240000 + 80000 + 50000

EBIT = $370000

Times interest earned (TIE) = 370000 / 50000

Times interest earned (TIE) = 7.4 times

Fuente, Inc., has identified an investment project with the following cash flows. Year Cash Flow 1 $ 950 2 1,180 3 1,400 4 2,140
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

$6,225.08

Explanation:

The computation of the future value of these cash flows in year 4 is shown below:

= Year 1 cash flow × (1 + interest rate)^year + Year 2 cash flow × (1 + interest rate)^year + Year 3 cash flow × (1 + interest rate)^year + Year 4 cash flow × (1 + interest rate)^year

= $950 × 1.08^3 + $1,180 × 1.08^2 + $1,400 × 1.08^1 + $2,140

= $950 × 1.259712  +  $1,180 × 1.1664  + $1,400 × 1.08 + $2,140

= $1,196.7264  + $1,376.352  + $1,512  + $2,140

= $6,225.08
