Answer:

Correct option is (B)

Explanation:

Given:

Bond issue amount = $15,000,000

Market interest rate = 7.75%

Investors cannot pay interest more than $1,150,000

Choate cannot choose 6.5%, the bond will become less attractive to investors as it indicates that the bond is selling at discount.

If 7.75% interest is given that is the market interest, then interest amount would be $1,162,500 (15,000,000 × 0.0775)

Choate cannot afford to pay more than $1,150,000, so it cannot offer bonds at 7.75% or 8.1%.

The only option left is 7.65%. Interest amount would be $1,147,500 (15,000,000 × 0.0765) which is less than what the company can afford. Also, it is just marginally lesser than market interest rate of 7.75%, so bonds would still be attractive.

Choate should select 7.65%.

You have $256,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock H, with an expected return of 14.1 percent, and Stock L
Valentin [98]

Answer: Investment in H = .4706($256,000)

Investment in H = $120,470.59

Investment in L = .5294($256,000)

Investment in L = $135,529.41

Explanation:

Investment in Stock H

Investment in Stock L

Here, the expected return of the portfolio and the expected return of the assets in the portfolio have been given and we're to calculate the dollar amount of each asset in the portfolio. So, we need to find the weight of each asset in the portfolio. Since the total weight of the assets in the portfolio must equal 1 (or 100%), we can find the weight of each asset as:

E[Rp] = .1230 = .141xH + .107(1 - xH)

xH = .4706

xL = 1 - xH

xL = 1 - .4706

xL = .5294

So, the dollar investment in each asset is the weight of the asset times the value of the portfolio, so the dollar investment in each asset must be:

Investment in H = .4706($256,000)

Investment in H = $120,470.59

Investment in L = .5294($256,000)

Investment in L = $135,529.41

Plan production for a four-month period: February through May. For February and March, you should produce to exact demand foreca
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The optimal production plan gives a total costs of $417,672 for the periods Feb to May

In Feb we will have to hire 26 workers to close the gap between demand and production from our 100 existing workers

In March however, we will have to lay them off (26 workers) to keep our production in line with demand.

In April, we are constrained to 100 workers, thus requiring that we run overtime. The overtime requirement is between 3,060 hours to max of 5,000 hours. Note that inspire of the hours chosen, demand for April still won't be fulfilled.

The best option will be the one that gives us last backlog because of the costs of backorder being extremely costly.

5,000 overtime hours in April is the best option .

In May, we are constrained to our 100 workers, meaning we will fulfill our back orders and also retain inventory in hand of 7,760 units.

The 3 pages attached show how the cost is worked out and the presentation as well.
