Answer: 8.45%

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Holmes Company's currently has an outstanding bonds and has a 8% coupon and a 13% yield to maturity.

We are further told that Holmes believes it could issue new bonds at par that would provide a similar yield to maturity and that its marginal tax rate is 35%.

Holmes's after-tax cost of debt will therefore be calculated as:

= Yield to maturity × (1 - Marginal tax rate)

= 13% × (1 - 35%)

= 13% × (65%)

= 0.13 × 0.65

= 0.0845

= 8.45%

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

3 times

Explanation:

Times Interest earned is a financial ratio that shows how many times an entity's net income or earnings before interest and taxes can be used to settle the company's interest expense.

It is given as the ratio of earnings before interest and tax to interest expense.

Earnings before interest and taxes is the difference of sales and operating costs.

= $400,000 - $362,500

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The M2 for October 2010 is $4.4145 trillion

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the value of M2 for the month of October 2010. We use a mathematical approach for this;

Mathematically:

M2 = M1 + Savings deposits + Money market funds + Certificates of deposit + other time deposit

We identify the parameters in the question as follows:

Savings deposit = $989.4 billion

Money Market funds = $1.9423 trillion

Certificates of deposit = $345.6 billion

Other time deposit = $243.8 billion

M1 = $893.4 billion

We thus calculate M2 as = $989.4 billion + $1.9423 trillion + $345.6 billion + $243.8 billion + $893.4 billion = $4.4145 trillion
