Answer:
current yield 8.2089552%
YTM = 8.05%
effective annual yield = 4.92%
Explanation:
(A)
current yield = C/P
coupon payment / market price
8.8/107.2 = 0.082089552 = 8.2089552%
(B)
First par being the present value of the coupon payment and second the redeem of the face value at the end of the bond.
market price 107.2
face value 100
time = 19
rate 8.8%
C = annual coupon payment 100 x 8.8% = 8.8
You solve this using a financial calculation and get the semiannual rate
YTM/2 = 0.040268160
then multiply by 2 to get the annual YTM
0.040268160 x 2 =
YTM = 0.08053632 = 8.05%
(C)
Effective Annual Yield
where:
Holding period return:
In this case:
coupon payment + redem - investment = net return
8.8 * 19 + 100 - 107.2 = 160
160/107.2 = 1.492537313
Then
EAY = 0.049242509 = 4.9242509%
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A farmer would want to look at the economic status of the US because his goal is to sell as much wheat as possible and make the most profit. If he pays no attention to the economy and there's a recession but he still sells his wheat at the normal price, people whose stocks are going down and who are losing money will be unable to, and unwilling to, pay the price. Thus, the farmer must inspect the changing economic statuses of the US to determine the best and most effective way to market out his wheat to the public.
Changes in US racial patterns have no impact on the marketing of the farmer's wheat, so A is incorrect.
The number of births per year is also irrelevant, as is the general population growth numbers because these do not affect the way the farmer will market his crops, so B and D are incorrect.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
After tax cost of debt is 4.16%
Explanation:
The yield on the debt which is pre-tax cost of debt can be computed using the rate formula in excel, which is given as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
where nper is the number of coupon payments,this is calculated as 19*2 since it has a semi-annual coupon interest
pmt is the periodic coupon payment 6.1%/2*$2000=$61
pv is the current price of the bond which is $1933
fv is the face value repayable on redemption $2000
=rate(38,61,-1933,2000)
=3.20%
This is semi-annual yield , annual yield is 3.20%*2=6.40%
After tax cost of debt=6.40%*(1-t)
where t is the tax rate at 35%=0.35
after tax cost of debt=6.40%*(1-0.35)
=4.16%
The reason why commodity futures contracts are transferable is: <span>They can be bought and sold but the obligation in the contract remains valid.
Commodity futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific asset at a specific price somewhere in the future.
This contract does not specify the name of the person who should buys the asset, so it could be transferable as long as the exchange is still fuiflled.

Answer: a. $28,000 $210,000
Explanation:
First column is income and second is Carrying value.
Carrying value is the fair value at year end = $210,000
Income = Dividend received + fair value adjustment
Fair value adjustment = Fair value - cost of shares
= 210,000 - 200,000
= $10,000
Dividend = 45% * 40,000
= $18,000
Income = 18,000 + 10,000
= $28,000
