Answer:
6.67 years
Explanation:
The number of years for the firm to reach the desired value of $1.2 million can determined using the nper formula in excel as below:
=nper(rate,pmt,pv,-fv)
rate is the interest rate earns by the fund at 10% per year
pmt is the addition to the fund in each year which is $50,000
pv is the current amount in the fund which is $400,000
fv is the desired value of $1.2 million
=nper(10%,50000,400000,-1200000)= 6.67 years
It would take 6.67 years for the sinking fund to reach the desired value of $1,200,000
Answer:
market rates have increased
Explanation:
Bonds as well as brokered CDs are priced depending on the market's interest rates for similar investments. For example, the CD pays a 3% interest, and then the market rate increases to 3.1% (or more), the CD's price will decrease. On the other hand, if the market rates decrease to 2.9% (or less), the CD's price will increase.
Answer:
$25.86.
Explanation:
To address this problem we first calculate the present value of all dividend received at time t = 20, then we discount that sum to time t = 0 (now).
The cashflow pattern of this preferred stock is similar to perpetuty.
Stock value at time t = 20 = Dividend/Required rate of return = 20/10.5% = 190.48
Stock value at time t = 0 = (Stock value at time t = 20)/(1 + Required rate of return)^20 = 190.48/(1 + 10.5%)^20 = 25.86.
