Answer:

7.4%

Explanation:

Coupon rate=coupon payment/face value

The coupon payment can be ascertained using the pmt Excel function as stated below:

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is the yield to maturity expressed in semiannual terms i.e 6.9%*6/12=3.45%

nper is the number of semiannual coupons the bond would pay over its 22.5 years i.e 22.5*2=45 payments

pv is the current price of $1057

fv is the face value of $1000

=pmt(3.45%,45,-1057,1000)=$37(semiannual coupon)

annual coupon=$37*2=$74

coupon rate=$74/$1000=7.4%

labwork [276]

Answer:

PV of lease annuity is $25000

Explanation:

As the paymengt will be made at the end of the year, the annuity is an ordinary annuity. We will calculate the present value of the ordinary annuity using the following formula,

PV Annuity = PMT * [( 1 - (1+r)^-n) / r]

Where,

  • PMT is periodic payment
  • r is discount rate per peiod
  • n is number of periods

Thus,

PV of annuity = 3895.5 * [( 1 - (1+0.09)^-10) / 0.09]

PV of annuity = $24999.985 rounded off to $25000

A manufacturer of microwaves has discovered that male shoppers have little value for microwaves and attribute almost no extra va
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

If the number of male and female buyers is the same, then the best pricing strategy is to offer 2 different microwaves (option 3). One simple and cheap microwave for men and one with auto-defrost for women.

Explanation:

If most buyers were women (significantly higher), then option 2 would be better, since $121 per microwave is a much higher price and even though total sales numbers may not be maximized, profits will probably be maximized.

If most buyers are men, then option 1 would be probably better, depending on the proportion of male vs female buyers.

Answer: The options are given below:

A. Short term.

B. Operating.

6. Harris Corporation is an all-equity firm with 100 million shares outstanding. Harris has $250 million in cash and expects fut
maria [59]

Answer:

Using the discount cash flow model to value the company, we can say that the company is worth $85 million / 12% = $708.33 million

Each stock should be worth approximately $708.33 million / 100 million = $7.0833 per stock

If the company uses the cash to finance new projects, then future cash flows should be approximately $97.75 million, and the company's value = $97.75 million / 12% = $814.583 million. This represents a 15% increase in value. The stock price should also increase by 15% to $8.1458 per stock.

If the company instead decides to repurchase stocks using all the cash, then it could repurchase 35.29 million stocks. Since we are assuming that the company's future cash flows wouldn't be affected by this decision, then the company's total value will still be $708.33 million, but each stock would be worth much more = $708.33 / 64.71 million stocks = $10.95. This represents a 34.36% increase with respect to the other alternative of investing the cash.

The issue here, is that this situation is not very realistic. It is not normal for a company to use all of its cash to repurchase stocks since it would result in a huge increase in stock prices (stock prices are set by supply and demand). Also, this would also result in a sharp increase in the cost of equity due to higher risks.
