Answer:

b. 7.28%

Explanation:

This question is asking for the yield to maturity(YTM) of the bond. You can solve this using a financial calculator with the inputs below. Additionally, adjust the coupon payment(PMT) and time to maturity(N) to semiannual basis.

Time to maturity; N = 5*2 = 10

Face value; FV = 1000

Price of bond; PV = -1071

Semiannual coupon payment; PMT = (9%/2) *1000 = 45

then compute semiannual interest rate; CPT I/Y = 3.64%

Next, convert the semiannual rate to annual rate(YTM) = 3.64% *2

YTM = 7.28%

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

1.74%

Explanation:

                               17% Debt       50% Debt

Sales                      $500,000      $500,000

Less: Cost              $450,000      $450,000

Less: Interest         <u>$5,546</u>           <u>$17,400</u>

Profit before tax   $44,454        $32,600

Less: Tax at 35%  <u> $15,559</u>          <u>$11,410</u>

Net Income           <u> $28,895</u>        <u>$21,190</u>

Equity                     $361,050        $217,500

Return on Equity   8.00%             9.74%

Change in ROE = 9.74% - 8.00% = 1.74%

Workings

Interest (17% Debt) = 43,500*17%*7.5% = $5,546

Interest (50% Debt) = 43,500*50%*8% = $17,400

Tax (17% Debt) = $44,454 * 0.35 = 15,559

Tax (50% Debt) = $32,600 * 0.35 = 11,410

Equity (17% Debt) =435,000*83% = 361,050        

Equity (50% Debt) = 435,000*50% = $217,500

Return on Equity = $28,895/$361,050 = 8.00%

Return on Equity = $21,190/$217,500 = 9.74%
