Answer:

A) 9458 units

B) She would prefer the one with the single lump payment of $35,000 because the present value of the other one would increase with an increase in the units sold.

Explanation:

A) To calculate the uniform annual sales volume based on a present worth analysis, we will make use of the formula for present value of annuity.

Thus;

P = PMT × (1 - ((1/(1 - rⁿ))/r

From the question, we are given;

P = $35,000

PMT = (1200 + 0.4x)

r = 7% = 0.07

n = 10

Thus, Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(1200 + 0.4x)((1 - (1/(1 + 0.07)^10))/0.07 = 35000

This gives;

(1200 + 0.4x) × 7.0236 = 35000

(1200 + 0.4x) = 35000/7.0236

(1200 + 0.4x) = 4983.2

0.4x = 4983.2 - 1200

0.4x = 3783.2

x = 3783.2/0.4

x = 9458 units

B) She would prefer the one with the single lump payment of $35,000 because the present value of the other one would increase with an increase in the units sold.

bezimeni [28]

Answer: A. True

B. True

C. False

Explanation:

An issuer decides to call in an outstanding bond issue under the terms detailed in the bond resolution because interest rates ha
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

An optional Call

Explanation:

Callable Bond

Callable bond represents an instrument of debt where the issuer issues the instrument reserving the right to make a return of the principal of investors including the stoppage of interest payments before the date of maturity of the bond.

Organisations would usually issue bonds as callable when either to meet unexpected obligations like pay off other debts, fund expansions or when they sense that opportunities may arise in the future for them to get other forms of financing at lower interest rates.

For bonds to be callable the terms must be clearly stated in the bond's offering.

Optional Call

In optional call, the issuer reserves the right to call the bonds to take advantage of present circumstances such as significant drop in interest rates (as stated in the question). However, the terms detailed in the bond resolution will allow the bondholders to receive a premium to par as compensation for their loss of interest payments on the called bond.

Furthermore, a period of time must usually pass before the issuer can use the optional call.
