disa [49]

Answer:

A. D1 = 1.50*1.06 = 1.59

D2 = 1.59*1.06 = 1.69

D3 = 1.69*1.06 = 1.79

B. PV of D1=(1.50*1.06)/1.13^1=1.41

PV of D2=(1.50*1.06^2)/1.13^2=1.32

PV of D3=(1.50*1.06^3)/1.13^3=1.24

PV of all dividend = (1.50*1.06)/1.13^1 + (1.5*1.06^2)/1.13^2 + (1.5*1.06^3)/1.13^3

PV of all dividend = 1.59/1.13 + 1.6854/1.2769 + 1.786524/1.442897

PV of all dividend = 1.407079646 + 1.319915 + 1.238150748

PV of all dividend = 3.965145814288893

PV of all dividend = 3.97

C. PV = 27.05/(1+13%)^3

PV = 27.05/(1.13)^3

PV = 27.05/1.442897

PV = 18.74701

PV = 18.75

D. The most you should pay for it :

= (1.50*1.06)/1.13^1+(1.5*1.06^2)/1.13^2+(1.5*1.06^3)/1.13^3+27.05/1.13^3

=22.71

E. Value = (1.50*1.06)/(13%-6%)

Value = 1.59 / 7%

Value = 1.59 / 0.07

Value = 22.714286

Value =22.71

F. No, the value is not dependent on the holding period, you can see from above that the value of infinite time period estimated in E equals to the value calculated when there was 3 years holding period.

Smiley Industrial Goods has $1,000 face value bonds on the market with semiannual interest payments, 13.5 years to maturity, and

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Annual Coupon rate = 66.56990711 / 1000 = 0.06656990711 or 6.656990711% rounded off to 6.66%

Option B is the correct answer

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = C

Total periods (n) = 13.5 * 2 = 27

r or YTM = 0.064 * 6/12 = 0.032 or 3.2%

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

We will first calculate the value of semi coupon payment made by the bond.

1023 = C * [( 1 - (1+0.032)^-27) / 0.032] + 1000 / (1+0.032)^27

1023 = C * 17.8994796 + 427.2166529

1023 - 427.2166529 = C * 17.8994796

595.7833471 / 17.8994796 = C

C = 33.28495355 rounded off to 33.28

The annual coupon payment will be = 33.28495355 * 2 = 66.56990711 rounded off to 66.57

Annual Coupon rate = 66.56990711 / 1000 = 0.06656990711 or 6.656990711% rounded off to 6.66%

butalik [34]

Answer:

$726,500

The computation of current earnings and profits for year 2 is shown below:-

current earnings and profits for year 2 = Profit as per Income Tax - Penalty disallowed + Life insurance proceed - Tax Expenses

= $760,000 - $42,000 + $185,000 - $176,500

= $945,000 - $42,000 - $176,500

= $726,500

Therefore we have applied the above formula to reach out the current earnings and profits for year 2.

1. 9.4. For process scheduling, does a low-priority value represent a low priority or a high priority?

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Priority programming is a process programming method based on priority. In this technique, the developer chooses the tasks to work according to priority, which is different from other types of programming, for example, a simple round-robin.

On UNIX and many other systems, higher priority values represent lower priority processes. Some of the systems, such as Windows, use the opposite convention: a higher number means a higher priority

Explanation:

Priorities can be dynamic or static. Static priorities are assigned during creation, while dynamic priorities are assigned according to the behavior of the processes while they are in the system. To illustrate, the planner could favor intensive input / output (I / O) tasks, allowing expensive requests to be issued as soon as possible.

Priorities can be defined internally or externally. Internally defined priorities make use of a measurable amount to calculate the priority of a given process. On the contrary, external priorities are defined using criteria beyond the operating system (OS), which may include the importance of the process, the type and sum of the resources used for the use of the computer, user preferences , trade and other factors such as politics etc.
