Answer:
implied credit spread = 1.13 %
Explanation:
given data
interest on foreign government bonds = 7.5%
current exchange rate = 28
forward exchange rate = 28.5
risk-free rate = 4.5%
solution
we get here risk free rate by the forward exchange rate that is
F = spot exchange rate × \frac{1+Rr}{1+Rs} ....................1
put here value
28.5 = 28 × \frac{1+Rr}{1+0.045}
solve it we get
Rr = 0.0637
Rr = 6.37%
so
implied credit spread = interest on foreign government bonds - risk free rate
implied credit spread = 7.5% - 6.37%
implied credit spread = 1.13 %
Answer:
Projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.
Optimal Capital is $5,750,000
Explanation:
The accept-or-reject rule, using the IRR method, is to acceptthe project if its Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is higher than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital(k) [r>k]. The project shall berejected if its internal rate of return is e lower than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital cost of (r<k)
Accept if r>k
Reject if r<k
Mayaccept if r = k
If the Weighted Average Cost of Capitl (WACC) is less than IRRrate, then the project has positive NPV; if it is equal to IRR, theproject has a Zero NPV, and if it is greater than the IRR, theproject has negative NPV.
The projects should be accepted as the rate of return on theproject is higher than the WACC(10.8%) which means that theprojects will be profitable as the returns are higher than the costof the project (capital). Considering this projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.
And considering the sizes the Optimal Capital is $5,750,000 (the addition of sizes of all projects)
Answer:
Stock R more beta than Stock S = 4.2%
Explanation:
given data
Stock R beta = 1.8
Stock S beta = 0.75
expected rate of return = 9% = 0.09
risk-free rate = 5% = 0.05
solution
we get here Required Return
Required Return (Re) = risk-free rate + ( expected rate of return - risk-free rate ) beta ...........1
Required Return (Re) = 0.05 + ( 0.09 - 0.05 ) B
Required Return (Re) =
so here
Stock R = 0.05 + ( 0.09 - 0.05 ) 1.8
Stock R = 0.122 = 12.2 %
and
Stock S = 0.05 + ( 0.09 - 0.05 ) 0.75
Stock S = 0.08 = 8%
so here more risky stock is R and here less risky stock is S
Stock R is more beta than the Stock S.
Stock R more beta Stock S = 12.2 % - 8%
Stock R more beta Stock S = 4.2%
Answer: reduce output.
Explanation:
In a competitive market, firms do not have control over the price that they sell their goods in the market but they do have control over their costs. It is recommended to produce/ sell goods at a quantity where Marginal Revenue will equal Marginal cost (MR = MC).
In a Competitive Market, Price is the same as Marginal revenue which means that Marginal revenue here is $25 and the Marginal Cost is $26. At this quantity of output, the Marginal Cost is larger than the Marginal revenue.
Company should therefore reduce output to a quantity where Marginal Cost will equal Marginal revenue.
