It is straightforward, as changing the board of directors will at some point lead to a time where the new member in the board of directors will just be a competent worker but has no history with the company.
Answer:
a) 7% as their market price will adjsut to give the same yield as the market
b) bond P = -10.17
bonds D = 10.07
Explanation:
we have to calcualte the price variation of the bonds from now (10 years to maturity) to next year (9 years)
Bond P
C 90.000
time 10
rate 0.07
PV $632.1223
Maturity 1,000.00
time 10.00
rate 0.07
PV 508.35
PV c $632.1223
PV m $508.3493
Total $1,140.4716
then, at time = 9
C 90.000
time 9
rate 0.07
PV $586.3709
Maturity 1,000.00
time 9.00
rate 0.07
PV 543.93
PV c $586.3709
PV m $543.9337
Total $1,130.3046
Capital loss: 1,130.30 - 1,140.47 = -10.17
We repeat the process for bond D
C 50.000
time 10
rate 0.07
PV $351.1791
Maturity 1,000.00
time 10.00
rate 0.07
PV 508.35
PV c $351.1791
PV m $508.3493
Total $859.5284
C 50.000
time 9
rate 0.07
PV $325.7616
Maturity 1,000.00
time 9.00
rate 0.07
PV 543.93
PV c $325.7616
PV m $543.9337
Total $869.6954
Capital gain: 869.70 - 859.53 = 10.07
Answer:
a. $700,000
b. 6/7 or 85.7%
c. No they will not.
Explanation:
a. Jacobs will earn the normal salary that the other designers in the other companies are getting in addition to the incremental income he brings to the company as a result of his talents.
Incremental income = Revenue with Jacobs - Revenue without Jacobs
= 1,000,000 - 400,000
= $600,000
Jacobs earnings = Normal designer earnings + incremental income
= 100,000 + 600,000
= $700,000
b. Economic rent is the excess amount that the company is paying Jacobs over what it should normally cost to get a designer.
Normal cost of designer is $100,000. Company is therefore paying an economic rent of $600,000.
Proportion of Jacobs salary that is economic rent = 
= 
= 6/7 or 85.7%
c. The company hiring Jacobs will not be making an economic profit because for them to make an economic profit they would have to be making more than the $400,000 that the other firms make. They cannot make this amount because for them to do so they would have to reduce the amount they pay Jacobs. If they do so, Jacobs would leave for greener pastures and then they would be making the same $400,000 that the rest are making.
That is called withdrawal, glad to help!
