A bond has a face value of $1,000, a coupon of 4% paid annually, a maturity of 30 years, and a yield to maturity of 7%. What rat

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

-11.8%

Explanation:

the key to answer this question is to remember that valuation of a bond depends basically of calculating the present value of a series of cash flows, so let´s think about a bond as if you were a lender so you will get interest by the money you lend (coupon) and at the end of n years you will get back the money you lend at the beginnin (principal), so applying math we have the bond value given by:

$price=\frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{1} }+ \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{2} } \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{3} }+...+\frac{principal+principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{n} }$

so in this particular case that one year later there are 29 years to maturity so we have:

$price=\frac{1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{1} }+ \frac{1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{2} } \frac{1000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{3} }+...+\frac{1,000+1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{30} }$

$price=553.6638$

so as we have a higher rate the investment has the next return:

$return=\frac{553.66}{627.73} -1$

$return=-11.8\%$

Adams, Incorporated would like to add a new line of business to its existing retail business. The new line of business will be t

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

machine's cost = $200,000 + $10,000 + $30,000 = $240,000

useful life of 4 years

salvage value of $25,000, depreciable value = $215,000

MACRS 3-year asset:

0.333 x $215,000 = $71,595
0.445 x $215,000 = $95,675
0.148 x $215,000 = $31,820
0.074 x $215,000 = $15,910

incremental sales of 1,250 units per year, during 4 years:

1,250 x $200 = $250,000
1,250 x $206 = $257,500
1,250 x $212.18 = $265,225
1,250 x $218.55 = $273,188

incremental COGS of 1,250 units per year, during 4 years:

1,250 x $100 = $125,000
1,250 x $103 = $128,750
1,250 x $106.09 = $132,613
1,250 x $109.27 = $136,588

net working capital increases by 12% of sales revenue = $250,000 x 12% = $30,000

WACC = 10%

tax rate = 40%

initial investment = $240,000 (machine cost) + $30,000 (working capital) = $270,000

net cash year 1 = [($250,000 - $125,000 - $71,595) x (1 - 40%)] + $71,595 = $103,638
net cash year 2 = [($257,500 - $128,750 - $95,675) x (1 - 40%)] + $95,675 = $115,520
net cash year 3 = [($265,225 - $136,588 - $31,820) x (1 - 40%)] + $31,820 = $92,295
net cash year 4 = [($273,188 - $136,588 - $15,910) x (1 - 40%)] + $15,910 = $88,324 + $25,000 (salvage value) + $30,000 (net working capital) = $143,324

to calculate the present value:

PV = $103,638/1.1 + $115,520/1.1² + $92,295/1.1³ + $143,324/1.1⁴ = $94,216 + $95,471 + $69,343 + $97,892 = $356,922

NPV = $356,922 - $270,000 = $86,922
