Consider three bonds with 6.8% coupon rates, all making annual coupon payments and all selling at a face value of $1,000. The sh

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

a. What will be the price of each bond if their yields increase to 7.8%?

4 Years : $966,73 (see example)

8 Years : $942,09

30 Years : $885,26

b. What will be the price of each bond if their yields decrease to 5.8%?

4 Years : $1,034.81 (see example)

8 Years : $1,062.59

30 Years : $1,140.64

Explanation:

Principal Present Value = F / (1 + r)^t

Coupon Present Value = C x [1 - 1/(1 +r)^t] / r

This is an example for 4 years, 7,8%, to the others years only change "t".

The price of this bond it's $740,50 + $226,23 = $966,73

Present Value of Bonds $740,50 = $1,000/(1+0,0780)^4

Present Value of Coupons $226,23 = $68 (Coupon) x 3,33

3,33 = [1 - 1/(1+0,0780)^4 ]/ 0,0780

This is an example for 4 years, 5,8%, to the others years only change "t".

The price of this bond it's $798,10 + $236,71 = $1,034.81

Present Value of Bonds $798,10 = $1,000/(1+0,0580)^4

Present Value of Coupons $236,71 = $68 (Coupon) x 3,48

3,48 = [1 - 1/(1+0,0580)^4 ]/ 0,0580

Answer:

Selling price = $20.05

Explanation:

The break even point is the level of activity where the total cost of is exactly equal to the total revenue. At this point, the business makes no profit and no loss, because the total contribution is also equal to the total fixed costs.

Contribution is the excess of sales revenue over variable cost

Total contribution = (S.p - VC per unit) × unit sold

So we can determine the selling price per unit by equating the total contribution to the the total fixed cost as follows:

Step 1

Determine the total contribution

= ( S.P - 6.80) × 900

Step 2

Equate the total contribution to the total fixed cost and solve for S.P

(S.P - 6.80) × 900 = 11,925. Lets substitute S.P with x

(X-6.80) × 900 = 11,925

900X -6,120 = 11,925

900X = 11,925 + 6,120

900X = 18045

X = 18,045/900

X = $20.05

Selling price = $20.05

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

C) The current prices of most of Squeaky Clean's products are lower than the prices of competing brands.

Explanation:

If Squeaky laundry detergent is cheaper than its competition, then it should have certain room for increasing its price. They should be careful not to increase Squeaky's price above the competition since probably a significant part of their sales is due to its lower price. As long as Squeaky's price is still lower than its competition, its demand shouldn't be affected.
