Answer:

7.67%

Explanation:

The Excel rate function can be used to determine the before-tax cost of debt as follows:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper=number of semiannual coupons in the remaining 20 years=20*2=40

pmt=semiannual coupon=$45

pv=current amrket price= $896.87

fv=face value=$1000

=rate(40,45,-896.87,1000)=5.11%

5.11%  is the semiannual yield

yield to maturity=5.11%*2=10.22%

after-tax cost of debt=pretax cost debt*(1-tax rate)

tax rate=25%

after-tax cost of debt=10.22%*(1-25%)=7.67%

storchak [24]

Answer:

The value of the settlement today =  $231,897.79  

Explanation:

The value of the settlement today is the sum of the present value (PV) of cash inflows discounted at the discount rate of 5.7 %.

Year                                                   PV

1              35,000 × 1.057^(-1)   = 33112.58

2                39,000× 1.057^(-2) = 34907.16

3.               80,000× 1.057^(-3)  = 67743.09

4                 120,000 × 1.057^(-4) =96134.94

The Pv of the total cash in flow =33,112.58  +  34,907.17  +  67,743.09  +  96,134.95  =  231,897.79  

The value of the settlement today =  $231,897.79

On January 1, 2005, Jambon purchased equipment for use in developing a new product. Jambon uses the straight-line depreciation m
notsponge [240]

Answer:

A. The total cost of the equipment.

Explanation:

Even if Jambon has not used the equipment in 2005 because it can only be used for the product that is to be developed in five years, Jambon still had to pay for the full cost of the equipment.

Because the equipment is laying idle, it is not depreciating. Therefore, the expense that Jambon is not incurring, is the depreciation expense associated with this equipment. This depreciation expense will only be seen in five years, when the product it was bought for is finally completed.

docker41 [41]

If prices in the bond market become more volatile, everything else held constant, the demand curve for bonds shifts left and interest rates rises.

Interest is the amount paid by the borrower or deposit-taking financial institution to the lender or depositor in excess of the repayment of the principal at a specified rate. It is different from a fee that a borrower can pay to a lender or a third party.

Interest is the price you pay to borrow money or the cost you charge to borrow money. Interest is usually given as an annual percentage of the loan amount. This percentage is called the interest rate on the loan. For example, if you deposit money in a savings account, your bank will pay you interest.
