Answer:

7.44 %

Explanation:

The Yield to Maturity (YTM) is the Interest rate that makes the Present Value of Coupons and Principle equal the Market Price or Current Price of the Bond.

The Yield to Maturity can be calculated using a financial calculator as follows :

PV = - $100

N = (15 -2) × 2 = 26

PMT = ($100 ×  7.30%) ÷ 2 = $3.65

FV = $103

P/YR = 2

YTM = ?

Therefore, Inputting the values in the calculator as shown gives the Yield to Maturity is 7.44 %.

Lamey Co. has an unlevered cost of capital of 10.9 percent, a tax rate of 35 percent, and expected earnings before interest and
mart [117]

Answer:

cost of equity is 11.60 %

Explanation:

Given data

cost of capital = 10.9 percent

tax rate = 35 percent

earnings = $21,800

bonds outstanding = $25,000

rate = 6 %

to find out

cost of equity

solution

we will find first value of unlevered

value of  unlevered  = earning ( 1 - tax rate ) / cost of capital

value of  unlevered  = 21800 ( 1 - 0.35 ) / 0.109 = $130000

so

value of  unlevered will be for firm = 130000 × bond outstanding × tax rate

value of  unlevered will be for firm = 130000 × 25000 × 35%

value of  unlevered will be for firm = $138750

so value of firm will be = bond outstanding + equity

so equity will be = 138750 - 25000

equity = $113750

so now

cost of equity will be = cost of capital + ( cost of capital - rate) (bonds / equity ) ( 1 - tax rate )

cost of equity will be = 10.9%+ ( 10.9 % - 6%) (25000 / 113750 ) ( 1-0.35)

so cost of equity = 11.60 %
