Answer:
the essential terms of the contract.
Explanation:
Generally contracts that involve large transactions like selling a company must be made in writing and must be signed by all the parties. In this case, the sort of wrote a summary of the basic terms of the sale on the back of an invoice, and at least they signed it. As it is, the contract might not be enforceable because it probably lacks a lot of important details, since the amount of space used to write it down was very small specially considering that most of the space was used for the signatures.
So in order to prevent any future problems, and to comply with the statute of frauds, they should make a written memorandum that includes the essential and important terms of the contract, which must be signed also. They could also write down a proper sales contract since they are signing it again.
The statute of frauds establishes that certain contracts must be done in writing, and since this contract probably involves a significant amount of money, it probably falls under it.
Answer:
A. Take $1 million now.
Explanation:
A. If we take $1 million now the present value of the money is $1 million.
B. If we choose to take $1.2 million paid out over 3 years then present value will at 10% will be;
$300,000 + $300,000 / 1.2 + $300,000/ 1.44 + $300,000 / 1.728
$300,000 + $250,000 + $208,000+ $173,611 = $931,944
The present value of option B is less than present value of option A. We should select option A and take $1 million now.
Answer:
a) YTM = 9.8%
b) realized compound yield is 9.9%
Explanation:
a) PMT = 80
par value FV = 1000
coupon rate = 8%
curent price PV = 953.1
years to maturity n = 3
Yield to maturity (YTM) = 
= 
= 9.8%
b) r2 = 10% = 100%+10%=1.1
r3 = 12% = 100%+12%=1.12
Realized compound yield:First, find the future value (FV. of reinvested coupons and principal
FV = ($80 *1.10 *1.12) + ($80 * 1.12) + $1080 = $1268.16
let a be the rate that makes the future value $1268.16
953.1(1+y)³ =$1268.16
(1+y)³=1.33
1+y=1.099
y = 0.099 = 9.9%
Answer:
Short term interest rates are more volatile (or change more often) because the FED uses them to control inflation and the money supply. Generally, when the FED engages in either expansionary or contractionary monetary policies, they will use short term interest rates. Even if they change more often, their nominal rates are generally very low, and a small change does the job. So they change more often, but in a very small proportion.
On the other hand, long term securities yield much more volatile returns because they last much longer and any small change in interests rates will result in a larger proportional change of returns in the long run. The longer the bonds, the larger the effect of any change in the market rates.
Answer:
As per MM proposition total capital would remain same.
which implies share price = (24-12)/2= $6 per share
