Microhard has issued a bond with the following characteristics: Par: $1,000 Time to maturity: 21 years Coupon rate: 9 percent Semiannual payments Calculate the price of this bond if the YTM is 6% (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.):
Answer:
Price of bond = $982.63
Explanation:
<em>The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
</em>
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Microhard can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 9% × 1000 × 1/2
= 45
Semi-annual yield = 6%/2 = 3
% per six months
Total period to maturity (in months)
= (2 × 21) = 42 periods
PV of interest =
45 × (1- (1+0.03)^(-21)/0.03)= 693.6
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1000 × (1.03)^(-21×2)
=288.95
Price of bond
= 693.6 + 288.95
=982.63
Price of bond = $982.63
Answer:
c) $5.68
Explanation:
The worth of this stock today is the present value of the future dividends which is computed by discounting future dividends as well as the terminal value using the required rate of return of 14.5% as the appropriate discount rate as shown thus:
Year 1 dividend=$.65
Year 2 dividend=$0.70
Year 3 dividend=$0.75
terminal value of dividends=Year 3 dividend*(1+g)/Ke-g
g=dividend terminal growth rate=2%
Ke=required rate of return=14.5%
terminal value of dividends=$0.75*(1+2%)/(14.5%-2%)=$ 6.12
Share price=$.65/(1+14.5%)^1+$.70/(1+14.5%)^2+$.75/(1+14.5%)^3+$6.12/(1+14.5%)^3
share price=$5.68
Answer:
$4.67 per share
Explanation:
The calculation of the diluted earning per share is given below:
= (Total income - preference dividends) ÷ (outstanding shares + diluted shares)
where,
Total income is $50,000
Outstanding shares is 10,000
And, the diluted shares is computed by following calculations
Amount paid towards shares = Options issued × Exercise price per share
= 1,000 × $6
= $6,000
And,
Value of options = Amount paid towards shares ÷ Current market price
= $6,000 ÷ $20
= 300
Therefore,
Diluted shares is
= Options issued - value of options
= 1,000 - 300
= 700
So Diluted Earnings per share is
= ($50,000) ÷ (10,000 + 700)
= $4.67 per share
Answer:
The Price of Cocaine would rise drastically
Explanation:
If U.S Drugs Enforcement Agency impose higher restrictions in an effort to control illegal import of cocaine into the United States, this would directly impact the market for illegal drugs in the following ways:
- Since more restrictions get imposed, the procurement cost of cocaine alongside the risk associated with it in the form of higher penalties and prosecution, both will rise.
- The supply of cocaine would shrink in the market.
- The above two outcomes would result into the procurers and peddlers demanding much greater price for the same quantity of cocaine so as to compensate for the higher risk assumed and higher procurement costs associated.
Thus, price of cocaine will rise drastically as an outcome of such a move.
