Answer:

a.

3.51%

b.

0%

Explanation:

a.

First, we need to calculate the YTM of 6 months zero-coupon bond by using the following formula

Price = Face value / ( 1 + YTM )^numbers of years

96.79 = 100 / ( 1 + YTM )^1

1 + YTM = 100 / 96.79

1 + YTM = 1.0331646

Now calculate the YTM of 1 Year zero-coupon bond

93.51 = 100 / ( 1 + YTM )^1

YTM = 1.0331646 - 1

YTM = 0.0331646

YTM = 3.31646%

YTM = 3.316%

1 + YTM = 100 / 93.51

1 + YTM = 1.06940

YTM = 1.06940 - 1

YTM = 0.06940

YTM = 6.940%

YTM = 6.94%

Hence the forward rate is calculated as follow

Forward rate = [ (1 + YTM of 1 year zero coupon bond ) / ( 1 + YTM of 6 months year zero coupon bond ) ] - 1 = ( 1 + 6.94% ) / ( 1 + 3.316% ) = [ 1.0694 / 1.03316 ] - 1 = 1.03508 - 1 = 0.03508 = 3.508% = 3.51%

b.

At the time of inception the formward rate is 0.

Romano Corporation has three operating divisions and requires a 12% return on all investments. Selected information is presented
REY [17]

Answer:

<u>DIVISION X</u>

Revenues = $1006000

Operating income = $105600

Operating assets = $419800

Margin = (Income*100/Revenue) = $105600*100/$1006000 = 10.50%

Turnover = (Turnover/Assets) = $1006000/$419800 = 2.4 times

ROI = (income*100/assets) = 105600*100/419800 = 25.15%

Residual Income = (105600-419800*12%) = $55224

<u>DIVISION Y</u>

Revenues = $298200*1 = $298200

Operating income = $298200*14% = $41748

Operating assets = $298200

Margin = 14%

Turnover = 1 times

ROI = (income*100/assets) = $41748*100/$298200 = 14%

Residual Income = (41748-298200*12%) = $5964

<u>DIVISION Z</u>

Revenues = $635083.33 * 3 = $1905250

Operating income = $104900

Operating assets = (104900-28690)*100/12 = $635083.33

Margin =  (Income*100/Revenue) = $104900*100/$1905250 = 5.51%

Turnover = 3 times

ROI = (income*100/assets = 5.51% * 3 = 16.53%

Residual Income = $28690

Eastern Motors Auto Dealership wanted to estimate the average CLV over a 5 year time horizon of a customer who purchases a new v
NARA [144]

Answer:

The total estimated CLV over a 5 year time horizon for someone who purchases a new vehicle at Eastern Motors is $3,410.40.

Explanation:

Margin on selling vehicle = Average vehicle selling price * Margin = $23,700 * 11% = $2,607

Margin generated by 78% of people who return for service over 5 years = Number of times * Margin generated on each service = 10 * $103 = $1,030

Total estimated customer lifetime value (CLV) = Margin on selling vehicle + (Margin generated by 78% of people who return for service over 5 years * 78%) + (Margin generated by 226% of people who do not return for service over 5 years * 22%) = $2,607 + ($1,030 * 78%) + ($0 * 22%) = $3,410.40

Therefore, the total estimated CLV over a 5 year time horizon for someone who purchases a new vehicle at Eastern Motors is $3,410.40.
