Bond Yields and Rates of Return A 30-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of $1,000 may be called in 4 years at a c

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The bond's yield to maturity is 9.45% using Excel to get exact values, and 9.59% using approximate method.

Explanation:

We can calculate is using 2 ways, using Excel to get the exact percentage or with approximate methods, calculating the semi-annual Yield to Maturity using the following formula

$YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}$

And from there we can calculate the Yield to Maturity just by multiplying the semi-annual one by 2.

Identifying the given information.

We have a period of 30 years, so for the semiannual bond we have $n=2(30) = 60$ periods.

The face value, FV, is $1000, the coupon rate is 0.10, thus we can use them to find the interest per period PMT.

$PMT=0.10 \times \cfrac{1000}{2}\\PMT=\$ 50$

The current price of the bond, PV is $1050.

Replacing the values on the semiannual Yield to Maturity

$YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}$

$YTM_{sm}=\cfrac{50+\cfrac{1000-1050}{60}}{\cfrac{1000+1050}{2}}$

Simplifying we get

$YTM_{sm}=4.797\%\\$

Finding the Yield to Maturity.

We can just multiply by 2 to get the Yield to Maturity from our previous result and rounding it to 2 decimals we get

$YTM = 2 YTM_{sm}\\YTM=9.59\%$

Alternatively we can use Excel and write:

RATE(n, PMT, PV, FV)*2

That is

RATE(60,50,1050,1000)*2

And we will get the exact Yield to maturity 9.49%

On January 1, 2021, Legion Company sold $240,000 of 4% ten-year bonds. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$7,514

Explanation:

Calculation for how Legion should report bond interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021

Using this formula

Bond interest expense=Bonds amount*Priced to yield percentage

Bond interest expense=$150,272*(10%/2)

Bond interest expense=$150,272*5%

Bond interest expense=$7,513.6

Bond interest expense=$7,514 Approximately

Therefore Legion should report bond interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 in the amount of $7,514

Suppose you are committed to owning a $215,000 ferrari. if you believe your mutual fund can achieve an annual return of 10.8 per

Pie

Answer: I must invest <u>$85424.14</u> today in order to buy a Ferrari nine years from now on the day I turn 30.

We have

Price of the Ferrari nine years from now (Future Value - FV) $215000

Expected Rate of return on the mutual fund (r) 10.8%

Time until I turn 30 (n) 9 years

We can calculate the Present Value (PV) or the money to be invested today as

$\mathbf{PV = \frac{FV}{(1+n)^{n}}}$

$PV = \frac{215000}{(1+0.108)^{9}}$

$\mathbf{PV = 85424.14022}$

Twenty years ago, a family purchased a vacant lot for $26,500. they made no improvements during the time they owned the property

KonstantinChe [14]

To find the gross profit margin found by:
(revenue - cost of goods sold)/revenue

Revenue = $62,275
Cost of goods sold (purchase price) = $26,500

= (62,275 - 26,500)/62,275
= 35,775/62,275
= 0.57 x 100
Percentage of gross profit = 57%

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

C. Bill of Materials

Explanation:

The engineers make the list and then it is checked against the raw materials record to know how much existences are for each of the raw materials requested.

This is done to create some control, as the person that make the bill aren't the person who check the inventory therefore, they cannot overstate or understate the materials as they will be checked for the amount used.
