A bond with a $1,000 par value sells for $895. The coupon rate is 7%, the bonds mature in 20 years, and coupon interest is paid
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

After tax cost of debt is 5.239%

Explanation:

Given:

Face value = $1,000

Bond price = $895

Coupon payments = 0.035×1,000 = $35 (coupon payment is paid semi-annually so 7% is divided by 2)

Maturity = 20×2 = 40 periods

Using bond price formula:

Bond price = Present value of face value + present value of coupon payments

Use excel function =RATE(nper,pmt,PV,FV) to calculate cost of debt.

substituting the values:

=RATE(40,35,-895,1000)

we get Pre-Tax cost of debt = 4.03% semi- annual

Annual rate is 4.03%×2 = 8.06%

Note: PV is negative as bond price is cash outflow.

After tax cost of debt = 8.06(1 - 0.35)

                                     = 5.239%

Which of the following describe strategies that China used to achieve the status of a high-performing Asian economy? Check all t
xenn [34]

Answer:

Export of labor-intensive products

Heavy investment in building a world-class infrastructure to attract foreign investment

Explanation:

The population of China is the highest in the world, hence they concluded that they needed to use their number to their own advantage by adopting a labor-intensive production technique which enables them to export their products as well as ensuring a higher percentage of the populace is gainfully employed, little wonders how China products are available the world over.

Also, they provided  world class infrastructures which serve as incentives for foreign direct investment, for instance Apple moved its main factory to China due to the cheaper and available workforce coupled with the state of the art technological infrastructural development achieved by the Chinese people.

Adams and Collin Enterprises expect earnings and dividends to grow at a rate of 25% for the next 4 years, after the growth rate
ollegr [7]

Answer:

the intrinsic value of the stock is 42.97

If the stock is priced at 40 dollars it would be a good idea to purchase the share as will provide a better yield than the cost of capital of 9.6%

Explanation:

First, we solve for the cost of equity using the CAPM:

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.03

market rate = 0.09

premium market = (market rate - risk free) = 0.055

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 1.2

Ke= 0.03 + 1.2 (0.055)

Ke = 0.09600

<em>Now we solve for the intrinsic price using the gordon model</em>

<em>with multi-stage growth:</em>

First, we calcualte the future dividends

grow rate Dividends

0                1.25

1 0.25       1.5625

2 0.25       1.953125

3 0.25       2.44140625

4 0.25       3.051757813

4 0.03     3.143310547

Now in the last year, we calcualte using the gordon model or constant grow:

\frac{3.143310547}{0.096-0.03} = Intrinsic \: Value

32.7128182

Now we calculate and add together the present value of each of this future cash flow to determnate the intrinsic  value ofthe share:

\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

Present Value

1 1.5625 / (1+0.096)^1     =  1.425638686

2 1.953125 / (1+0.096)^2 = 1.625956531

and so on, giving the following values:

3 1.854421226

4 2.114987712

present value of the future dividends at 3% 22.67126448

<u>Finally we add them and get:</u>

42.97160726

If a company had a contribution margin of $1,000,000 and a contribution margin ratio of 40%, total variable costs must have been
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

$1,500,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

contribution margin of the company = $1,000,000

Contribution margin ratio = 40%

Now,

The sales = (contribution margin) / (Contribution margin ratio)

thus,

Sales = \frac{1,000,000}{0.40}

or

sales = $2,500,000

Therefore,

Variable cost = Sales - Contribution margin

or

Variable cost = $2,500,000 - $1,000,000 = $1,500,000
