Suppose you bought a $1,000 face value bond with a coupon rate of 5.6 percent one year ago. The purchase price was $987.50. You

sold the bond today for $994.20. If the inflation rate last year was 2.6 percent, what was your exact real rate of return on this investment?

Answer:

The real rate of return on this investment is 3.65%

Explanation:

For computing the real rate of return, we have to compute the nominal rate of return as it is not given in the question.

The formula to compute nominal rate of return is shown below:

= (Sale price - purchase price) + coupon ÷ (purchase price)

= ($994.20 - $987.50) + $56 ÷ ($987.50)

= ($62.70) ÷ ($987.50)

= 6.35%

The coupon = $1,000 × 5.6 = $56

Now we have to apply the formula for computing the real rate of return which is shown below:

Real rate of return = {( 1 + nominal rate of return) ÷ ( 1+ inflation rate)} - 1

                               = {(1 + 6.35%) ÷ ( 1 + 2.6%) - 1

                                = 1.0365 - 1

                                = 3.65%

Answer:

$400

Explanation:

The computation of the corrected operating income is shown below:

= Sales revenue - costs of goods sold - SG&A Expense

= $1,600 - $800 - $400

= $400

The gross profit would be

= Sales revenue - costs of goods sold

And the operating income would be

= Gross profit - SG&A Expense

For computing the operating income, we deduct the costs of goods sold and the SG&A Expense from the sales revenue

You have an opportunity to acquire a property form First Capital Bank. The bank recently obtained the property from a borrower w
love history [14]

Answer:

Acquiring the property will not be profitable. This is supported by the computation below;

Cash outflow required;

Offer cost                           $200,000

Other acquisition cost           $10,500

Repairs cost                           $12,000

Selling expenses and fee       $3,000

Loan Interest (180,000x8%)    <u>$14,400</u>

<u> </u>  Total                                   $239,900

Expected selling price         <u>$225,000</u>

Expected Loss                      <u>   $14,900</u>

<u />

Explanation:

It is assumed that the $180,000 loan from the bank will be completely absorbed in the process of bringing the property into a good selleable condition.  Also, the interest payable on loan will be paid monthly which will affect the liquidity of the buyer. Except funds are sought for somewhere else, the buy can not pay for the initial cost of the property. The venture will not be profitable.
