West Corp. issued 15-year bonds two years ago at a coupon rate of 7.3 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bond

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

7.44 %

Explanation:

The Yield to Maturity (YTM) is the Interest rate that makes the Present Value of Coupons and Principle equal the Market Price or Current Price of the Bond.

The Yield to Maturity can be calculated using a financial calculator as follows :

PV = - $100

N = (15 -2) × 2 = 26

PMT = ($100 × 7.30%) ÷ 2 = $3.65

FV = $103

P/YR = 2

YTM = ?

Therefore, Inputting the values in the calculator as shown gives the Yield to Maturity is 7.44 %.

So you can retire early, you have decided to start saving $500 a month starting one month from now. You plan to retire as soon a

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

It will take him 45 years

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of years it would take to accumulate $1,000,000 if there is a plan to save $500 per month at an interest rate of 5%.

To solve this, we use the following mathematical formula:

Future value of annuity = Annuity payment * {(1+r)^n - 1}/r

Where r is the monthly interest rate and n is the number of months it will take.

From the question, we can identify the following;

Since he earns 5% interest on savings, the actual monthly interest rate will be 5%/12 = 0.4167% = 0.004167

Annuity payment = monthly payment = $500

Future value of annuity = $1,000,000

We substitute these values into the equation:

1,000,000 = 500 * [(1+0.004167)^n - 1]/0.004167

8.334 = (1.004167)^n - 1

1+8.334 = (1.004167)^n

9.334 = (1.004167)^n

To get n, we simply take the log on both sides of the equation

Log 9.334= nLog 1.004167

n = Log9.334/Log1.004167

n = 537 months

Question asks to calculate in years

there are 12 months in a year. The number of years it will take will be 537/12 = 44.76 years and that’s approximately 45 years

You receive five annual cash flows of $10,000 with the first cash flow being received today and the last cash flow occurring 4 y

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

FV= $75,437.02

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of cash flows= 5

Cash flow= $10,000

Total number of periods= 10 years

Interest rate= 6% compounded annually

First, we need to calculate the future value of the 5 cash flows in 5 years using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {10,000*[(1.06^5) - 1]} / 0.06

FV= $56,370.93

Now, the value at the end of 10 years:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 56,370.93*(1.06^5)

FV= $75,437.02

Grove Inc. is a publicly traded chemical company that reported the following financial statements for the most recent year. $1,0

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

FCFF = $335.50

Explanation:

Formula of Free Cash Flow to the firm ( FCFF) :

FCFF= Net Income+ Interest(1- tax rate)+ Depreciation+ working capital changes- capital investment

Now let us note some critical points and assumptions which are necessary to solve the question.

As the question says that the company will maintain its existing after tax return on capital invested next year, hence that means that the net income for the next year remains the same, which is $140.

It is also that the company expects it's Operating Income(EBIT) to increase by 6% every year, hence it's operating income(EBIT) for the next year will be $250*(1.06)= $265

Tax rate remains the same, that is, (60/200*100)= 30%

As there is no details with respect to working capital changes and any capital investment made, hence it is assumed to zero changes and no additional investment.

It is assumed that the depreciation method being followed is straight line method, hence depreciation value next year would be the same, that is, 150

Now let's finalise our income statement:

EBIT = $265 given in the question

Interest = ( $65) backward calculation

Taxable Income = $200

Taxes (30%) = ($60)

Net income = $140 given in question.

Hence our FCFF will be :

$ 140 + $65*(1-0.30) + $150 = $335.50
