If three people work for a company:
A, who has worked there for 5 years,
B, who has worked there for 20 years,
and C, who has worked there for 1 year,
B has seniority over A and C, A has seniority over C. In most companies, this would mean that barring other factors, C would be fired first because C has the lowest seniority. <span />
The correct answer to go in the blank would be ''Deadlock''.
Answer:
1. Current bonds price = $81.86.
2. Yield to maturity = 22.16%.
3. 3. Expected Return = 7.5%.
Explanation:
Required Rate = Rf + beta*MRP
= 5% + 0.25*(15% - 5%)
= 5% +0.25*10%
= 5% + 2.5% = 7.5%
Required Rate = 7.5%
Expected Future Value = 70% x $100 + 30% x $60
= (0.7*$100) + (0.3*$60)
= $(70+18) = $88
Expected Future Value = $88
1. Current bonds price = 88/1.075 = $81.86
2. Yield to maturity = 100/81.86 - 1 = 1.22159785-1 = 0.22159785 = 22.159785% = 22.16%
3. Expected Return = 7.5%
Answer: b. gives the firm a built-in market for new securities.
Explanation:
Rights offering are issued by companies when such companies wants to generate additional capital. This may be necessary when such company wants to meet its financial obligations and therefore need extra capital.
A rights offering gives the firm a built-in market for new securities as the security holder are already aware of the company and just buys additional securities.
In this problem, we need to find the length of an annuity. We already identified the interest rate, the PV, and the payments.
Using the PVA equation: PVA =C({1 – [1/(1 +r)t]} /r
$18,000 = $750{[1 – (1/1.019) t] / 0.019}
Then solve for t:
1/1.019t= 1 − {[($18,000)/($750)](0.019)}
1/1.019t= 0.544
1.019t= 1/(0.544) = 1.838
t= ln 2.193 / ln 1.019 = 32.34 months or 2.7 in years
