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%

Which of these is an example of a bank’s commitment to pay? a. Fee arbitration agreement b. A warrant c. Letter of credit d. Bil
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Letter of credit

Explanation:

A letter of credit is a written guarantee from a buyer's bank to the seller, assuring them of payments from the buyer. Should the buyer fail to honor the payments, the bank commits itself to pay. The letter of credit guarantees the seller that upon meeting some pre- defined conditions, the bank would release to them a specified amount, in the stated currency.

Letters of credit are most suited for international trade. The nature of foreign trade is that buyers and sellers do not know each other and operate under different laws. A letter of credit assures each party that the other will fulfill their obligation. The issuing bank will charge for providing the letter of credit services.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The advantages of starting own business:

  • Flexibility: a person who starts his own business does not necessarily have to work 9/5 monday-friday, he can  set his own schedule. Needless to say, many business owners work longer hours than regular employees, but the do so because of the hope to earn more money from profits than from a regular wage.
  • The possibility of profit: an employee in a legal firm will not be able to obtain any dividends (unless he owns stock), while the very definition of a business owner is someone who obtains profits.
  • Fulfillment: it is probably more fulfilling to see your own business develop and grow than go to work everyday for someone else's company.

Some disdavantages are:

  • Risk: starting a business is risky. The business might result in losses instead of profits, in other words, the business may fail.
  • Capital needs: to start a business, you need some capital, and it is not always easy to obtain. Most business owners either get debts, or liquidate some of their own assets (house, car, etc) to finance the company.
  • Longer work hours: as stated above, it's very likely that a business owner will have to work night and day, especially during the first stages.
