Answer:
A Bond's current market value represented by
is the present value of a bond as on today. Present value of a bond is it's future cash flows in the form of coupon payments and principal repayment discounted at investor's expectation in the market also referred to as Yield to maturity(YTM).
Present value of a bond is given by the following equation,
![B_{0} = \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{1} } +\ \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{2} } \ +\ ......+\ \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{n} } \ +\ \frac{RV}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{n} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B_%7B0%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BC%7D%7B%281%5C%20%2B%5C%20YTM%29%5E%7B1%7D%20%7D%20%20%2B%5C%20%5Cfrac%7BC%7D%7B%281%5C%20%2B%5C%20YTM%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%5C%20%2B%5C%20......%2B%5C%20%5Cfrac%7BC%7D%7B%281%5C%20%2B%5C%20YTM%29%5E%7Bn%7D%20%7D%20%5C%20%20%2B%5C%20%5Cfrac%7BRV%7D%7B%281%5C%20%2B%5C%20YTM%29%5E%7Bn%7D%20%7D)
where C= Annual coupon payments
YTM = Yield to maturity/ cost of debt/ market rate of return on similarly priced bonds
RV = Redemption value of bond
n = number of years to maturity
<u>a. A bond's coupon rate is higher than it's yield to maturity, then the bond will sell for more than face value.</u>
Hence, if the company pays more interest than what is paid in the market on similarly priced bonds, such bonds shall sell at more than their face value.
<u>b. If a bond's coupon rate is lower than it's yield to maturity, then the bond's price will increase over it's remaining maturity.</u>
Similarly, if a bond pays lower rate of interest than the market rate of interest on similarly priced bonds, the bond shall sell at lower than it's face value and the price will increase over the remaining life of such bonds.
Answer:
The price per share should be $22.5
Explanation:
The price earnings multiple or P/E tells us how much price the investors are willing to pay for $1 earnings of the company.
We first need to calculate the earnings per share of the company.
Earnings per share = Net Income / Number of outstanding common shares
Earnings per share = 1500000 / 1000000 = $1.5 per share
Using the P/E for the industry, the price per share of Flintstone should be,
P/E = Price per share / Earnings per share
15 = Price per share / 1.5
15 * 1.5 = Price per share
Price per Share = $22.5
‘The dry cleaner on the corner is an eyesore’ is a
subjective claim because a subject claim is not something that is factual
rather it is an expression or an opinion that an individual says, in which the
sentence is an example as it is an expression.
