Answer:
These questions are incomplete since the article relating to Hologen company is not attached. However, I would answer them this way.
Explanation:
1) A floating rate bond has a shorter duration; almost zero and it has lower sensitivity to interest rates compared to a fixed rate bond.This means that the former has a lower interest rate risk. Investors tend to demand floating rate bonds when they expect future interest rates to rise because their prices would be close to their par values as their interest rates would also increase. On the other hand, fixed bond's interest rates are inversely related to their prices.
2)
For an issuing company, borrowing money floating rates terms could be riskier for cashflow management purposes . Every time interest rates increases, it means that the company would pay higher interests to lenders which could hurt its profitability. The fluctuations could also negatively affect future financial planning unlike issuing fixed rate bonds whose coupon payments are constant hence decreasing the volatility of earnings.

Keynesian believes that Government spending on infrastructure, unemployment benefits, and education will increase consumer demand. They also believe that consumer demand is the primary driving force in an economy.
Answer:
Under CAPM:
Re = Rf + Beta(Rm - Rf)
Rf = 5%
Rm - Rf = 6%
Beta = 1.25
Re = 5% + (1.25 x 6%) = 12.5%
Under dividend discount model:
Re = (Div₁ / P₀) + g
Div₁ = $1.20
P₀ = $35
g = 8%
Re = ($1.20 / $35) + 8% = 11.43%
Under bond yield plus risk premium approach:
Re = Pre-tax cost of debt + risk premium over its own debt
Pre-tax cost of debt = 7%
risk premium over its own debt = 4%
Re = 7% + 4% = 11%
The highest cost of equity results from the CAPM model and it is 12.5% while the lowest results from using the bond yield plus risk approach (11%), the difference is 1.5% between them.
Answer:
D. 5.19
Explanation:
Zero coupon bond is the bond which does not offer any interest payment. It is issued on deep discount price and Traded in the market on discounted price.
According to given data
Face value = F = $1,000
Year to maturity = n = 15 Years
Current price = P = $468
Yield to maturity = [ ( F / P )^(1/15) ] - 1
Yield to maturity = [ ( $1,000 / 468 )^(1/15) ] - 1
Yield to maturity = 1.0519 - 1
Yield to maturity = 0.0519 = 5.19%
