Answer: 1.66

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the beta of the stock will be calculated as follows:

Expected return = 16.2%

Market return = 11.2%

Inflation rate = 3.1%

Risk-free rate of return = 3.6%

We should note that:

Expected return = risk-free rate + Beta × (market rate- risk-free rate)

Therefore,

16.2% = 3.6% + Beta × (11.2% - 3.6%)

16.2% = 3.6% + Beta × 7.6%

16.2% - 3.6% = Beta × 7.6%

12.6% = Beta × 7.6%

Beta = 12.6% / 7.6%

Beta = 1.66

A five-year bond has a par value of 1000, a coupon of 3%, and a required yield of 5%. What should be the market price of this bo
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The market price of the bond is $913.41

Explanation:

The coupon payment is annual, meaning it is being paid once a year.

N(Number of years/Number of periods) = 5

I/Y(Yield-To-Maturity) = 5 percent

PMT(coupon payment) = $30 [(3/100) x $1,000]

FV(Future value/Par value) =$1,000

PV(present value or market value) = ?

Now to solve this, lets use a financial calculator (e.g Texas BA II plus)

N= 5; I/Y = 5%; PMT = $30; FV = $1,000; CPT PV = -$913.41

Therefore, the market price of the bond is $913.41

Answer:

Units of production method: $76,820

Explanation:

The three most common depreciation methods are: straight line, double-declining, and units of production. We will calculate the depreciation expense for each.

Straight line method:

Depreciable amount= cost - residual value

                                 = 240,000 - 40,000

                                = 200,000

Depreciation by year = depreciable amount / years of useful life

                                   = 200,000 / 8

                                   = 25,000

Double declining method

Depreciation per year = depreciable amount x (2 / useful life in years)

                      = 200,000 x (2 / 8)

                      = 50,000

Units of production method

Depreciation per unit  = depreciable amount / hours of operation

                                     = 200,000 / 12,000

                                     = 16.7

Total depreciation = depreciation per unit x actual units of operation

                              = 16.7 x 2,400 + 2,200

                              = 16.7 x 4,600

                              = 76.820

Therefore, the units of production method results in the highest depreciation expense among the three.

Fill in the missing numbers for the following income statement. (Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate
Strike441 [17]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Sales = 747300

Less: Costs = 582600

Less: Depreciation = 89300

EBIT = 75400

Less: Taxes at 22% = 22% × 75400 = 16588

Net income = EBIT - Taxes = 75400 - 16588 = 58812

a. Calculate the OCF.

OCF will be calculated as:

= Net income + Depreciation

= 58812 + 89300

= 148,112

b. What is the depreciation tax shield?

Depreciation tax shield will be:

= Depreciation × Tax rate

= 89300 × 22%

= 89300 × 0.22

= 19646
