bond j has a coupon rate of 3 percent and bond k has a coupon rate of 9 percent. Both bonds have 13 years to maturity, make semiannual payments, and have a YTM of 6 percent. what if rates suddenly fall by 2 percent instesd?
Answer:
if interest rates fall by 2%
price of bond j will increase to $756.83, price change = $756.83 - $663.28 = $93.55 or 14.1%
price of bond k will increase to $1,317.99, price change = $1,317.99 - $1,224.47 = $93.52 or 7.64%
Explanation:
bond j coupon rate 3%, 13 years to maturity, semiannual payments, YTM 6%
bond k coupon rate 9%, 13 years to maturity, semiannual payments, YTM 6%
current market price of bond j:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
0.03 = {15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.015(1,000 + market value) = 15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]
15 + 0.015market value = 15 + 35.46 - 0.038market value
0.05346market value = 35.46
market value = 35.46 / 0.05346 = $663.28
current market price of bond k:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
0.03 = {45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.015(1,000 + market value) = 45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]
15 + 0.015market value = 15 + 65.46 - 0.038market value
0.05346market value = 65.46
market value = 65.46 / 0.05346 = $1,224.47
if YTM decrease by 2%, then:
new market price of bond j:
0.02 = {15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.01(1,000 + market value) = 15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]
10 + 0.01market value = 15 + 35.46 - 0.038market value
0.05346market value = 40.46
market value = 40.46 / 0.05346 = $756.83
new market price of bond k:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
0.02 = {45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.01(1,000 + market value) = 45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]
10 + 0.01market value = 15 + 65.46 - 0.038market value
0.05346market value = 70.46
market value = 70.46 / 0.05346 = $1,317.99

Widget Co has a market capitalization of $ 100M. It does a 5-for-1 stock split. It then does a 1- for-25 reverse stock split. Finally, it does a 35-for-1 stock split. Nothing else changes. What’s the new market cap?
Answer: $100M
Explanation:
This is a bit of a trick question but when you come into contact with such questions remember this, stock splits do not change the total Market Capitalization. Market Cap is the total cash value of the company's stock in the market. A split would increase the number of shares outstanding but the market cap will remain the same because the shares will decrease in value.
Which one of the following stocks is correctly priced if the risk-free rate of return is 3.6 percent and the market risk premium is 8.1 percent?
Stock Beta Expected Return
A. 89 7.83%
B. 1.52 12.59
C. 1.25 11.27
C 1.27 14.50
D. 80 10.08
Answer: Stock of D is correctly priced at 10.08%
( for the beta of Stock A and D, I guessed you meant 0.89 and 0.80 respectively as opposed to 89 and 80 you put, so i corrected and solved accordingly.)
Explanation:
Expected return = Rf + beta ( Rm - Rf )
Rf =Risk free return = 3.6
Rm-Rf = Market risk premium = 8.1%
A) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 0.89, 7.83%
Expected return = 3.6 + 0. 89 (8.1) = 10.809%-- its over priced
B) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.52 12.59%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.52(8.1) = 15.912%---- its over priced
B) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.25 11.27%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.25(8.1) = 13.725 %--- its overpriced
c) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.27 14.50%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.27(8.1) = 13.887%---- Its underpriced
d) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 0.80 10.08%
Expected return = 3.6 + 0. 80(8.1) = 10.08%---- Correctly priced

Mr. Meyers wishes to know how many shares are necessary to elect 6 directors out of 14 directors up for election in the Austin Power Company. There are 74,000 shares outstanding.
Answer: 29,601 shares
Explanation:
When calculating the number of shares required to elect a certain number of directors given the shares outstanding, use the formula;
Shares required = ((Number of directors required)*(Total number of shares outstanding) / (Total number of directors + 1)) + 1
= (6 * 74,000) / ( 14 + 1) + 1
=( 444,000/15) + 1
= 29,600 + 1
= 29,601 shares are needed to elect 6 directors

It is better to evaluate economic decisions at the marginal, where the decision has to be made as long as its marginal benefit exceeds its marginal cost, if not equal to its marginal cost.
A. True
B. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Output is always maximised where Marginal Benefit is above Marginal Cost. Ideally speaking, Marginal Benefits should be equal to Marginal Costs but Marginal Benefits being greater than cost is still a good thing because it means that there is still room for expansion until such a point as the MB = MC.
However, if it starts costing more per unit to gain a benefit per unit MB < MC, the decision makers can know to limit the activity because this will cause losses. This is why it is better to make decisions at a Marginal level so that one may know when output is maximised as well as when to rein in production.
You would expect a bond of the U.S. government to pay higher interestrate as compared to a bond of an Eastern European government.
A. True
B. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Bond interest is determined in part by the riskiness of the Issuer of the bond. The United States is one of the most trust-worthy countries in the world and this is reflected by the US T-bills being considered a risk-free asset the world over.
The less risky an asset is, the less interest it has to pay as it does not have to compensate its investors for more added risk. A United States Bond is definitely safer than an Eastern European Government bond who are not as developed as the Western Europeans speaking in an unbiased manner. Therefore the US Bond will pay a lower interest relative to a bond of an Eastern European government.

a. Liabilities Net Income
No error No error
b. Liabilities Net Income
No error Overstated
c. Liabilities Net Income
Understated Overstated
d. Liabilities Net Income
Overstated Understated
e. Liabilities Net Income
Overstated No Error
Answer:
e. Liabilities Net Income
Overstated No Error
Explanation:
Unearned Revenue is a liability account that is used to record revenue that the business has received but not yet earned because the goods and services have not yet been provided. By crediting Accrued revenue to this account, it increases it when it is not supposed to so Liabilities are overstated.
Accrued Revenue go to the Accounts Receivable section of the balance sheet to indicate that the business is owed for goods or services provided and so have nothing to do with Net Income so there is no error there.

The purchase price of a natural gas-fired commercial boiler (capacity X) was $181,000 eight years ago. Another boiler of the same basic design, except with capacity 1.42X, is currently being considered for purchase. If it is purchased, some optional features presently costing $28,000 would be added for your application. If the cost index was 162 for this type of equipment when the capacity X boiler was purchased and is 221 now, and the applicable cost capacity factor is 0.8, what is your estimate of the purchase price for the new boiler
Answer:
$308,500.85
Explanation:
$181,000 eight years ago in real dollars was $181,000 / 162 = $111,728.40
new boiler with a 1.42X capacity x capacity factor = 1.42 x 0.8 = 1.136 (the price of the new boiler is 1.136 times the old boiler)
current price of the new boiler in real dollars = 1.136 x $111,728.40 = $126,923.46
real dollars converted to current nominal dollars = $126,923.46 x 2.21 = $280,500.85
price of the new boiler + additional optional features = $280,500.85 + $28,000 = $308,500.85
Radovilsky Manufacturing Company, in Hayward, California, makes flashing lights for toys. The company operates its production facility 300 days per year. It has orders for about 9,000 flashing lights per year and has the capacity of producing 60 per day. Setting up the light production costs $49. The holding cost is $0.10 per light per year.
a. What is the optimal size of the production run?
b. What is the average holding cost per year?
c. What is the average setup cost per year?
d. What is the total cost per year, including the cost of the lights?
Answer:
a. 2,970
b. $148.50
c. $148.50
d. $297.00
Explanation:
Optimal size of the production run is the size of the Production run that minimizes set -up costs and holding costs.
Optimal size of the production run = √ (2 × Annual Production Demand × Set-up Cost) / Holding Cost per unit
= √(2 × 9,000 × $49) / $0.10
= 2,969.85 or 2,970 flashing lights
Average holding cost = Optimal size of the production run /2 × Holding Cost per unit
= 2,970/2 × $0.10
= $148.50
Average setup cost = Annual Production Demand / Optimal size of the production run × Cost per set -up
= 9,000 / 2,970 × $49
= $148.50
Total Cost = Average holding cost + Average setup cost
= $148.50 + $148.50
= $297.00
Our company sells a product for $150 per unit. Variable costs are $90 per unit and fixed costs are $18,000. The company expects to sell 800 units this year. What is the contribution margin in total dollars
Answer:
$48,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are given the following;
Per unit selling price of the product = $150
Variable costs per unit = $90
Fixed costs = $18,000
Expected units to be sold 800
Therefore,
Contribution margin in dollars = Selling price - Variable costs
= ($150 × 800) -($90 × 800)
= $120,000 - $72,000
=$48,000
If the minority price for a single share of stock of a company is $20, if there are 500 thousand shares of stock, and a person offers to buy the entire company for $14.5 million, what is the controlling interest premium being offered
Answer:
$4,500,000
Explanation:
current market price per stock $20
total stocks outstanding 500,000
corporation's total value = 500,000 x $20 = $10,000,000
investor's offer to purchase 100% at $14,500,000
controlling interest premium = $14,500,000 - $10,000,000 = $4,500,000
new price per stock = $14,500,000 / 500,000 = $29
The controlling interest premium equals the difference between the current market price of the stock and the purchase offer.
If the government guarantees sugar farmers a price of $1 per pound when the market equilibrium price is actually $0.50 per pound, which of the following will occur?
a) A shortage of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.
b) A shortage of sugar will occur, decreasing inefficiency.
c) A surplus of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.
d) A surplus of sugar will occur,decreasing inefficiency.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
the price per pound of sugar is above equilibrium price, as a result the supply of sugar would increase while the demand for sugar would decrease. this would lead to a surplus. because at $1, supply would exceed demand, there would be an increase in inefficiency
Answer:
A surplus of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.
Explanation:
When the price of sugar is set above the market equilibrium price, the quantity supplied will be greater than the quantity demanded by consumers. Therefore, a surplus of sugar occurs that increases the level of inefficiency.
A buyer is getting a fully amortized loan for $220,000. The bank will give the buyer the loan for 15 years at 5 1/2% or for 30 years at 6 1/2%. To the nearest dollar, what is the difference between the monthly payments for these two loans?
Answer:
Difference in monthly payment=$407.0339
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The monthly installment is computed as follows:
Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor
Loan amount; =220,000
Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r
r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months
First option
monthly interest rate = 5.5% =0.458 %, n- 15×12
Annuity factor= (1-(1+0.055)^(-180 )/0.055 =122.38
Monthly repayment = 220,000/122.386 = 1797.58
Second option
r- 6.5%/12 = 0.542 % n = 15×12 = 180
Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+0.00542)^(-360))/0.005 42= 158.21
Monthly installment = 220,000/1390.549 = 1390.54
Difference in monthly payment = 1,797.583 - 1390.54 = 407.0339
Difference in monthly payment=407.0339

Here is the capital structure of Microsoft. What part of the $117.67 share price (to the nearest dollar) is represented by cash?
Answer: $17 (to the nearest dollar)
Explanation:
The Cash in the price of the stock price is represented by the formula;
Cash = [tex]\frac{Cash and Cash Equivalents}{Market Capitalisation} *Share Price[/tex]
Cash = [tex]\frac{127,662,000,000}{902,635,911,922} *$117.67[/tex]
Cash = 16.642355
Cash = $17 (to the nearest dollar)
The part of the $117.67 share price that is represented by cash is $17.
It should be noted that the calculation for the part of the $117.67 share price that is represented by cash goes thus:
Cash = [Cash and cash equivalents/Market capitalization] × Share price
Cash = [127662000000/902635911922] × 117.67
Cash = 16.64
Cash = $17 approximately
In conclusion, the cash will be $17

Fill in the blanks to complete the sentence. A company has the following budget information: Sales: $118,800; COGS: $48,500; Depreciation expense: $1,500; Interest expense: $250; Other expenses: $41,880. If the company budgets 40% for income tax expense, the budgeted net income will be $
Answer:
16,002
Explanation:
A company has the following budget information
Sales = $118,000
COGS= $48,500
Depreciation expense= $1,500
Interest expense= $250
Other expense= $41,880
The company budgets 40% for income tax expense
= 40/100
= 0.4
The first step is to calculate the total expense incurred in the company
Total expense= COGS+depreciation expense+Interest expense+Other expenses
= $48,500+$1,500+$250+$41,880
= $92,130
The next step is to calculate the pre-tax income
Pre-tax income= Sales-total expenses
= $118,800-$92,130
= $26,670
The next step is to calculate the income tax expense
Income tax expense= $26,670×0.4
= $10,668
Therefore, the budgeted net income can be calculated as follows
Budgeted net income= Pre-tax income-income tax expense
= 26,670-10,668
= 16,002
Hence the budgeted net income is 16,002

Bonds seems to be debt security during which the lender is obliged to pay compensation at regular time intervals as well as pay the money back the balance of the shareholder at intellectual ability.
Option B: The raising of new bonds diminishes underlying ownership within the company. Incorrect issuance of new equities diminishes the company's current ownership.Option C: Debenture bonds attached leverage on the assets guaranteed. Incorrect debentures represent short term loans. Option D: Bonds focuses on providing funding for equities. Incorrect since debt funding is provided by Bonds.So that alternative A would be the appropriate choice.
Bonds are like IOUS with a promise to repay the amount borrowed, with interest, on a certain date. Thus, option A is correct.
Bonds appear to be a type of financial instrument where the lender is required to provide periodical payments of compensation as well as to reimburse the shareholder for their remaining amount at the investor's intellectual discretion.
An Iou-like financial obligation is a bond. By purchasing corporate bonds, investors are making a loan to the corporation issuing the connection. Bonds usually provide investors with a fixed rate of interest that is paid over a specified period of time at periodic times. In general, bonds are a less risky investment. Therefore, option A is correct.

You have just purchased a new warehouse. To finance the purchase, you’ve arranged for a 35-year mortgage loan for 85 percent of the $3,350,000 purchase price. The monthly payment on this loan will be $16,800. What is the APR on this loan? What is the EAR on this loan?
Answer:
APR = 2.43%
EAR = 2.46%
Explanation:
(a) What is the APR on this loan?
Annual percentage rate (APR) is the yearly interest rate that a borrower pays or an investor earns. It is expressed in percentage term without taking compounding into consideration.
This can be calculated using the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) formula as follows:
APR = {[(Fees + Interest amount) / Principal / n] * 365} * 100 ……………… (1)
Where;
APR = ?
Fees = 0
Interest amount = Interest rate * Purchase price = 85% * $3,350,000 = $2,847,500
Principal = Purchase price = $3,350,000
n = Number of days in the mortgage term = 365 days * 35 years = 12,775 days
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
APR = {[(0 + 2,847,500) / 3,350,000 / 12,775] * 365} * 100
APR = 2.43%
(b) What is the EAR on this loan?
The Effective Annual Rate (EAR) refers to the interest rate earned by an investor in a year after the compounding has been adjusted for over a specified period.
This can be calculated using the Effective Annual Rate (EAR) formula as follows:
EAR = (1 + i/n)^n – 1 ..................... (2)
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
i = Stated annual interest rate = APR = 2.43%, or 0.0243
n = Number of compounding periods = 12
EAR = (1 + 0.0243/12)^12 – 1
EAR = 0.0246, or 2.46%
A company manufactures and sells two products: Product A1 and Product C4. Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below:
Expected Production Direct Labor-Hours Per Unit Total Direct Labor-Hours
Product A1 500 2.0 1,000
Product C4 200 1.0 200
Total direct labor-hours 1,200
The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH. The direct materials cost per unit is $281 for Product A1 and $267 for Product C4. The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity:
Estimated Expected
Activity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product C1 Product M2 Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 7,200 7,700 14,900
Production orders Orders 75,240 500 600 1,100
General factory MHs 886,410 4,400 4,600 9,000
$1,520,102
The total cost per unit of Product C4 under activity-based costing is closest to: ____________
Answer:
Unitary cost= $4,207.85
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product C4:
Production= 200 units
Direct labor hours per unit= 1
Total DLH= 200
The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH.
The direct materials cost per unit is $267
Activity Cost Pools - Overhead Cost - Product C4 - Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 - 7,700 - 14,900
Production orders Orders $75,240 - 600 - 1,100
General factory MHs $886,410 - 4,600 - 9,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 558,452/14,900= $37.48 per DLH
Production orders= 75,240/1,100= $68.4 per order
General factory= 886,410/9,000= $98.49 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to C4 as a whole:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 37.48*7,700= $288,596
Production orders= 68.4*600= $41,040
General factory= 98.49*4,600= $453,054
Total= $782,690
Finally, the total cost and cost per unit:
Total cost= 200*267 + 200*27.4 + 782,690
Total cost= $841,570
Unitary cost= 841,570/200= $4,207.85
Determine the amount of money that must be invested now (time 0) at 10% nominal interest, compounded monthly, to provide an annuity of $7 comma 000 per year for 12 years, starting eight years from now. The interest rate remains constant over this entire period of time.
Answer:
the amount of money that must be invested now is $21068.87
Explanation:
Given that:
Nominal interest = 10%
Annuity = 7000
n = 8 years
The Effective interest rate is calculated by using the formula:
Effective interest rate = [tex]( 1 + \dfrac{r}{100 \times n})^n-1[/tex]
Effective interest rate = [tex]( 1 + \dfrac{10}{100 \times 8})^8-1[/tex]
Effective interest rate = 0.1045
Effective interest rate = 10.45 %
Thus ; the the amount of money that must be invested now is the present value with the annuity of $7, 000 per year for 12 years, starting eight years from now.
[tex]PV = 7000(\dfrac{(1+ 0.1045)^{12}-1}{0.1045(1 + 0.1045)^{12}})( \dfrac{1}{(1+ 0.1045)^8})[/tex]
PV = 7000 × 6.666056912 × 0.4515171371
PV = $21068.87
Thus; the amount of money that must be invested now is $21068.87
