Answer:
Project Y = -$1,825.80
Project Z = $4,148.00
Explanation:
Calculation are as attached in the file
Answer:
A)If interest rates decline, the prices of both bonds will increase, but the 15-year bond would have a larger percentage increase in price.
TRUE
As it has more time to maturity it will have a higher time expose to the rate therefore, will be more volatile against the rate fluctuations
Explanation:
The 10-year ond is issued at premium, above par as the coupon rate 12% is higher than market rate 10%. Each year will decrease the market value to come closer to maturity date.
The 15-year ond is issued at discount, below par as the coupon rate 8% is lower than market rate 10%. Each year will increase the market value to come closer to maturity date.
Answer:
Answer= 9 years
Explanation:
Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
14,963.72=2200[1-(1.06)^-n]0.06
14,963.72=36,666.67[1-(1.06)^-n]
1-(1.06)^-n=(14,963.72/36,666.67)
(1.06)^-n=1-(14,963.72/36,666.67)
(1/1.06)^n=0.591898545
Taking log on both sides;
n*log (1/1.06)=log 0.591898545
Hence n=log0.591898545/log (1/1.06)
=9 years.
Answer:
NPV = 3,404.41
Explanation:
We will calculate the net present value doing:
<em>NPV = present value of the cash flow - investment</em>
Investment = 34,000
Now we need to discount each cash flow at the given rate.
<u>For that,</u> we will treat the cash flow as an annuity of 11,800 for 4 year at 10% rate:
C 11800
time 4
rate 0.1
PV $37,404.41
<em>NPV = present value of the cash flow - investment</em>
<em>NPV = 37,404.41 - 34,000 = 3,404.41</em>
The correct statement among the given is 'cost of equity is always equal to or greater than the cost of debt'
.
Option-c
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Debt on assets which are less likely to lose is secured more uncertainty leads to lower returns, hence lower costs. The risk of loss to equity holders also remains greater and not even assured against any collateral. In comparison to higher risk equity holders foresee higher returns.
This is why debt costs are higher. Such high risk will lead to higher equity costs than debt costs. To investors, equity costs would be returned on equity investment, and debt costs would be made as part of debt investment.
