Answer:

The present value of the promised gift will:

be less than $5,000.

Explanation:

The present value of $5,000 to be received in three years' time from today is less than $5,000 received. This is explained by the time value of money concept. If the $5,000 gift is discounted to today's value, using a discount factor of 0.751 (10% in three years' time), it would be $3,755 ($5,000 * 0.751). This means that $5,000 received in year 3 is less than $5,000 received today.

Sonbull [250]

Given:
bonds on the market with 19.5 years to maturity
a yield to maturity of 6.6%,
current price of $1,043
face value of $1,000

YTM = Coupon payment / current price
6.6% = Coupon payment / 1,043
6.6% * 1,043 = Coupon payment
68.838 = coupon payment

Coupon rate = Coupon payment / Face Value
Coupon rate = 68.838 / 1,000
Coupon rate = 0.068838 or 6.88%

The coupon rate of DMA Corporation's bonds is 6.88%.

Regardless of its price in the market, each bond will have 68.838 annual interest payment or 34.419 semi annual payments.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

C. The firm likes its workers and doesn’t want to replace some jobs with machinery.

Explanation:

Optimal level of capital simply refers to an ideal strategy used by a firm to raise capital. For example, a firm may decide between debt financing or equity financing, depending on the company's desired level of capital.

So, an already operational firm with that likes its workers and doesn’t want to replace some jobs with machinery has no direct relationship with its level of capital.
