The financial disadvantage of discontinuing the Linens Department is a decrease of $440,000 in total net operating profit.
Explanation:
Note: The requirement of this question is omitted but it is provided before answering the question to complete question as follows:
Required:
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the Linens Department?
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Note: See the lower part of the attached excel file for Determination of the financial advantage (disadvantage) (in bold red color) of discontinuing the Linens Department.
In the attached excel file, it can be seen that discontinuing the Linens Department makes both its Sales and Variable Cost to be equal to zero while only its Fixed expenses falls from $800,000 to $340,000 which is sunk costs.
Since the elimination of the Linens Department will result in a 10% decrease in the sales of the Hardware Department, the sales of the Hardware Department after eliminating Linens Department is calculated as follows:
Sales of the Hardware Department after eliminating Linens Department = $3,000,000 * (100% - 10%) = $270,000
From the attached excel file, it can be seen that the total net operating income falls from $500,000 to $60,000 after eliminating Linens Department. This implies that the total net operating profit decreases by $440,000 (i.e. $500,000 - $60,000 = $440,000)
Therefore, the financial disadvantage of discontinuing the Linens Department is a decrease of $440,000 in total net operating profit.
Acort Industries owns assets that will have a 75% probability of having a market value of $52 million in one year. There is a 25% chance that the assets will be worth only $22 million. The current risk-free rate is 5%, and Acort's assets have a cost of capital of 10%. a) If Acort is unlevered, what is the current market value of its equity? b) Suppose instead that Acort has debt with a face value of $18 million due in one year. According to MM (i.e. perfect market), what is the value of Acort's equity in this case? c) What is the expected return of Acort's equity without leverage? What is the expected return of Acort's equity with leverage? d) What is the lowest possible realized return of Acort's equity with and without leverage?
Solution :
a). The current market value of the unlevered equity
[tex]$=\frac{75\% \times \$52 \text{ million} + 25\% \times \$22 \text{ million}}{1+10 \%}$[/tex]
= $ 40.45 million
b). The market value of the equity one year from now is
[tex]$=(75\% \times \$52 \text{ million} + 25\% \times \$22 \text{ million})- \$18 \ \text{million}$[/tex]
= $ 44.5 million - $ 18 million
= $ 26.5 million
c). The expected return on the equity without the leverage = 10%
The expected return on the equity with the leverage = [tex]$=10\% +\frac{ \$22 \text{ million}}{\$ 26.5 \text{ million}}$[/tex]
= 0.93 %
d). The lowest possible value of equity without the leverage = $20 million - $ 18 million
= $ 2 million
The lowest return on the equity without the leverage = 10%
The lowest return on the equity with the leverage = 2 % as the equity is eroded.

You wish to take an Excel course. You may enroll at one within your school or you may take a community class at the local library. You've gathered the following information to aid in your decision-making process.
Costs/Benefits College Course Community Course
Cost $2,600 $1,390
Distance to course 0.40 miles (walking distance) 16 miles (driving distance)
Timing of course Weekday Weekend
Number of meetings 16 8
Qualitative considerations Convenience, quality of instruction Flexibility, brief duration
If you enroll in the community class, you will be unable to work at your regular job on weekends for the eight weekend days when the class meets. If you typically earn $260 per weekend shift, which option would you choose (considering enrollment cost and opportunity cost)?
a) Neither alternative
b) College course
c) Community course
d) Both alternatives
Answer:
The chosen option (considering enrollment costs and opportunity cost) is:
b) College course.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Costs/Benefits
College Course Community Course
Cost $2,600 $1,390
Opportunity costs -2,080 2,080
Net costs $520 $3,470
Distance to course 0.40 miles 16 miles

b) With the College course option, you will earn $2,080 ($260 * 8) weekdays to offset part of the enrollment cost. With the Community course option, $2,080 will be lost in opportunity cost, thereby increasing the total costs incurred. These costs are apart from the driving costs associated with traveling 16 miles to the Community Course at the local library.
oneycutt Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 39,000 shares of stock and $108,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 33,000 shares of stock and $324,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 7 percent. a. Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $160,000. The all-equity plan would result in 42,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS for each of these plans
Answer:
All equity plan:
EPS = $160,000 / 42,000 = $3.81
Plan I:
EPS = [$160,000 - ($108,000 x 7%)] / 39,000 = $152,440 / 39,000 = $3.91
Plan II:
EPS = [$160,000 - ($324,000 x 7%)] / 33,000 = $137,320 / 33,000 = $4.16
Plan II is better since the resulting EPS is higher than the other alternatives.
At December 31, Gill Co. reported accounts receivable of $288,000 and an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $1,500 (credit) before any adjustments. An analysis of accounts receivable suggests that the allowance for uncollectible accounts should be 1% of accounts receivable. The amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be:
Answer:
$1,380
Explanation:
Given that;
Accounts receivables = $288,000
Allowance for uncollectible accounts = $1,500 (credit balance)
Allowance should be 1% of accounts receivables = $288,000 × 1% = 2,880
Then, the adjustment = $2,880 - $1,500 = $1,380
Therefore, the amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be $1,380
The Cork Company has been sent a special order of 6,000 dongles to be shipped at the end of the month at a selling price of $7 each. The company has a production capacity of 90,000 dongles per month with total fixed production costs of $144,000. At present, the company is selling 80,000 dongles per month through regular channels at a selling price of $11 each. For these regular sales, the cost for one dongle is:
Variable Production $4.60
Cost Fixed Production Cost $1.80
Variable Selling Expense $1.00
At what selling price per unit should Cork be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special offer?
a. $7.40.
b. $7.70
c. $6.40
d. $4.90.
e. None of the answers provided is correct.
Answer:
Indifferent special order price=$5.60
Explanation:
To determine whether or not Cork Company should accept the order, we will compare the variable cost of the order to the sales value . If the special order generates a positive contribution margin, then it should be accepted.'
The relevant cash flows to be considered here includes
1. Variable cost of the special order
2. Sales revenue from the special order.
Note that the fixed cost are general unavoidable costs which would be incurred either way. And therefore should not be considered .
variable cos per unit = 4.60 +1.00= 5.60
$
Sales revenue from special order
(7×6,000) 42,000
Variable cost (5.60× 6,000) (33,600)
Net income from special order 8,400
A special order price that will produce a net income of zero is that which will make the Cork Company indifferent. And such price is that which equals to the variable cost of selling
Indifferent special order price = variable cost per unit = $5.60
Indifferent special order price=$5.60
The special offers under the cost accounting are the changes or the events arranged in between the regular business operations. The special offer is launched at lower or higher variable costs. This is done either to attract customers or to clear off the stock.
The correct option is e. None of the answer provided is correct.
The selling price per unit that is indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special offer is $5.60
As per the computation, the special offer should be accepted.
Computations:
The indifferent special order price should include only the variable cost.
[tex]\text{Indifferent price}=\text{Variable Production cost}+\text{Variable selling expense}\\\\=\$4.60+\$1.00\\\\=\$5.60[/tex]
Computation of net income from a special offer:
[tex]\text{Net Income}=\text{Sales revenue}-\text{Variable cost}\\\\=(\$7\times6,000)-(\$5.60\times6,000)\\\\=\$442,000-\$33,600\\\\=\$8,400[/tex]
For taking the decision of accepting or rejecting the special offer:
variable costs of existing and special offers are compared.The variable cost and the selling price must be equal for generating a net income of zero.The positive contribution margin indicates acceptance of the special offer.To know more about cost accounting, refer to the link:

Orange Corporation has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project: Investment in depreciable equipment $ 520,000 Annual net cash flows $ 78,000 Life of the equipment 10 years Salvage value $ 0 Discount rate 6 % The company uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. The payback period for the investment would be: Multiple Choice 1.0 years 0.2 years 4.7 years 6.7 years
Answer:
6.7 years
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Investment = $520,000
Net cash flow = $78,000
Life of equipment = 10 years
So, we can calculate the payback period for investment by using following formula,
Payback period for investment = Initial Investment ÷ Net cash flow
= $520,000 ÷ $78,000
= 6.67 years or 6.7 years

You are evaluating a proposed expansion of an existing subsidiary located in Switzerland. The cost of the expansion would be SF 14 million. The cash flows from the project would be SF 4.0 million per year for the next five years. The dollar required return is 14 percent per year, and the current exchange rate is SF 1.05. The going rate on Eurodollars is 6 percent per year. It is 4 percent per year on Swiss francs.
a. Convert the projected franc flows into dollar flows and calculate the NPV.
b-1. What is the required return on franc flows?
b-2. What is the NPV of the project in Swiss francs?
b-3. What is the NPV in dollars if you convert the franc NPV to dollars?
Answer:
a-The net present value in dollars is 494939.0687.
b-1-The required return on franc flows is 11.72%.
b-2-The net present value in Francs is 519686.02.
b-3-The NPV in dollars as calculated from NPV in Francs is $494939.07
Explanation:
a
In order to find the solution, firstly the exchange rate for the 5 years is calculated. It is calculated using the formula:
[tex]EER=CER*(1-GRD+GRF)^t[/tex]
Here
EER is the expected exchange rate which is to be calculatedCER is the current exchange rate which is 1.05GRD is the going rate of dollars which is 6% or 0.06GRF is the going rate of Francs which is 4% or 0.04t is the time in years.From this exchange rate, the PV factor is calculated which is than used to find the present value and similarly net present value in total. The solution is provided in the attached Excel Sheet.
The net present value in dollars is 494939.07
b-1
The required rate on the Franc return is given as:
[tex]FRR=(1+DR)(1-GRD+GRF)-1[/tex]
Here
FRR is the franc return rate which is to be calculatedDR is the dollar rate which is 14% or 0.14GRD is the going rate of dollar which is 6% or 0.06GRF is the going rate of Franc which is 4% or 0.04So the value becomes:
[tex]FRR=(1+DR)(1-GRD+GRF)-1\\FRR=(1+0.14)(1-0.06+0.04)-1\\FRR=0.1172\text{ or }11.72\%[/tex]
The required return on franc flows is 11.72%.
b-2
Similar to part a, the solution is found for the return rate of 11.72 and the exchange rate is not required. The values are as indicated in the excel sheet attached.
The net present value in Francs is 519686.02.
b-3
In order to convert the Franc NPV to dollars, the exchange rate of 1.05SF is used which gives
[tex]NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{NPV_{Francs}}{ER}[/tex]
Here
NPV_dollars is the value of NPV which is to be calculated.NPV_francs is the value of NPV calculated in previous step which is 510686.02.ER is the exchange rate whose value is 1.05So the equation becomes:
[tex]NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{NPV_{Francs}}{ER}\\NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{519686.02}{1.05}\\NPV_{dollars}=494939.0666=\$494939.07[/tex]
The NPV in dollars as calculated from NPV in Francs is $494939.07
Lunar coast Incorporated issued BBB bonds two years ago that provided a yield to maturity of 12.5
percent. Long-term risk-free government bonds were yielding 8.5 percent at that time. The current
risk premium on BBB bonds versus government bonds is half of what it was two years ago. If the riskfree long-term government bonds are currently yielding 7.8 percent, then at what rate should Lunar
coast expect to issue new bonds
Answer:
"9.80%" is the appropriate solution.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Yield to maturity,
= 12.5%
Risk free gov. bond,
= 8.5%
Long terms gov. bond,
= 7.8%
Now,
The current speed between bonds such as BBB as well as government will be:
= [tex]\frac{12.5-8.5}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]2.00 \ percent[/tex]
hence,
The expected rate will be:
= [tex]7.8+2.00[/tex]
= [tex]9.80 \ percent[/tex]

therefore,
Weighted average cost of capital = 12.70 % x 70.82 % + 4.956 % x 17.73 % + 8.40 % x 11.45 %
= 10.83 %
Remember to use after tax cost of debt.

Highgrove Industries must decide which process technology to adopt, given the information below. Cost Technology A Technology B Technology C Price per unit $3 $3 $3 Fixed costs per year $80,000 $120,000 $130,000 Variable costs per unit $2.20 $1.85 $1.65 Which one of the process technologies would you recommend they adopt if the expected demand is 100,000 units
Answer:
Technology C
Explanation:
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable cost * (Number of Units)
Total Cost for Technology A = $80000 + $2.20*(100,000 units)
Total Cost for Technology A = $300,000
Total Cost for Technology B = $120,000 + $1.85*(100,000 units)
Total Cost for Technology B = $305,000
Total Cost for Technology C = $130,000 + $1.65*(100,000 units)
Total Cost for Technology C = $195,000
Conclusion: The minimum total cost for 100,000 Unit is for process technology C, Hence this technology would be recommended
Two years ago, Kimberly became a 30 percent partner in the KST Partnership with a contribution of investment land with a $14,750 basis and a $22,650 fair market value. On January 2 of this year, Kimberly has a $20,700 basis in her partnership interest, and none of her pre-contribution gain has been recognized. On January 2 Kimberly receives an operating distribution of a tract of land (not the contributed land) with a $18,175 basis and an $26,075 fair market value.
a) What is the amount and character of Kimberly’s recognized gain or loss on the distribution?
b) What is Kimberly’s remaining basis in KST after the distribution?
c) What is KST’s basis in the land Kimberly contributed after Kimberly receives this distribution?
Answer: A) $3,425 B)$5,950 C)$18,175
Explanation:
a)Kimberly's capital gain = land's Fair market value -non contributed land's Fair market value = $26,075- $22,650= $3,425
b)Kimberly's basis after the distribution = basis in KST + gain - Carryover basis in land = $20,700 + $3, 425 - $18,175 = $5,950
c) KST's basis on the land =KST land's basis on contribution+ Kimberly's gain = $14,750+$3, 425 = $18,175

Pearson Electric Company uses the high-low method to analyze mixed costs. The following information relates to the production data for the first six months of the year. Month Cost(Y) Hours(H) January $ 7,300 260 February $ 9,125 730 March $ 7,540 410 April $ 7,485 330 May $ 9,460 980 June $ 9,030 705 How should the cost function be properly stated using the high-low method?
Answer: 6520 + 3x
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to calculate the variable cost per hour which will be:
= (Highest activity cost – Lowest activity cost)/(Highest activity hour – Lowest activity hour)
= (9460 - 7300)/(980 - 260)
= 2160 / 720
= 3
We'll also find the fixed cost which will be:
= Fixed cost = Highest activity cost – (Variable cost per hour x Highest activity hour)
= 9460 - ( 3 x 980)
= 9460 - 2940
= 6520
Therefore, the cost function will be:
= 6520 + 3x

Given the following information: Percent of capital structure: Preferred stock 10 % Common equity (retained earnings) 40 Debt 50 Additional information: Corporate tax rate 34 % Dividend, preferred $ 7.00 Dividend, expected common $ 2.50 Price, preferred $ 104.00 Growth rate 8 % Bond yield 9 % Flotation cost, preferred $ 9.40 Price, common $ 76.00 Calculate the weighted average cost of capital for Digital Processing Inc.
Answer: 8.23%
Explanation:
Firstly, we will calculate the cost of debt which will be:
= Yield (1-Tax rate)
= 9% × (1-0.34)
= 9% × 0.66
= 5.94%
Then, the Cmcost of preferred stock will be:
= 7/(104-9.40)
= 7/(94.6)
= 7.39%
We will also get the value of the cost of equity which will be:
= (Dividend expected common/Price common) + growth rate
= (2.50/76) + 8%
= 3.29% + 8%
= 11.29%
For Debt:
Cost after tax: 5.94
Weight = 50%
Weighted cost = 5.94 × 50% = 2.97
For Preferred stock:
Cost after tax: 7.39
Weight = 1%
Weighted cost = 7.39 × 10% = 0.74
For Common equity
Cost after tax: 11.29
Weight = 40%
Weighted cost = 11.29 × 40% = 4.52
Weighted average cost of capital = 2.97 + 0.74 + 4.52 = 8.23%
Assume that you believe exchange rate movements are mostly driven by purchasing power parity. The U.S. and Canada presently have the same nominal (quoted) interest rate. The central bank of Canada just made an announcement that causes you to revise your estimate of Canada's real interest rate upward. Nominal interest rates were not affected by the announcement. Do you expect that the Canadian dollar to appreciate, depreciate, or remain the same against the dollar in response to the announcement
Answer:
The Canadian dollar would appreciate
Explanation:
Real interest rate is nominal interest rate less inflation rate
exchange rate is the rate at which one currency is exchanged for another currency
if the real interest rate of the canadian dollar increases, there would be an increase in demand for canadian dollars. As a result, the demand for canadian dollars would increase. the increase in demand would lead to an appreciation of the canadian dollar
The Gecko Company and the Gordon Company are two firms whose business risk is the same but that have different dividend policies. Gecko pays no dividend, whereas Gordon has an expected dividend yield of 6 percent. Suppose the capital gains tax rate is zero, whereas the income tax rate is 40 percent. Gecko has an expected earnings growth rate of 10 percent annually, and its stock price is expected to grow at this same rate.
Required:
If the aftertax expected returns on the two stocks are equal (because they are in the same risk class), what is the pretax required return on Gordon’s stock?
Answer:
12.4%
Explanation:
After-Tax Return = Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) + Dividend Yield*(1-Tax Rate)
Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) = After-Tax Return - Dividend Yield*(1-Tax Rate)
Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) = 10 - 6*(1-40%)
Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) = 6.4%
Pre-Tax Return = Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) + Dividend Yield
Pre-Tax Return = 6.4% + 6%
Pre-Tax Return = 12.4%
Hence, the pretax required return on Gordon’s stock is 12.4%
Joint products A and B emerge from common processing costs of $100,000 and yield 2,000 units of Product A and 1,000 units of Product B. Product A can be sold for $100 per unit. Product B can be sold for $120 per unit. The amount of joint costs allocated to Product A (if joint costs are allocated on the basis of relative sales value) will be $ (rounded to nearest dollar).
Answer:
Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = $62500
Explanation:
To calculate the allocation of joint costs to Product A, we must first calculate the sales revenue or value for both products.
Total sales value - Product A = 100 * 2000 = $200000
Total sales value - Product B = 120 * 1000 = $120000
Total Sales Value = 200000 + 120000 = $320000
The amount of Joint costs that will be allocated to Product A will be,
Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = (200000 / 320000) * 100000
Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = $62500
You've observed the following returns on Crash-n-Burn Computer's stock over the past five years: 10 percent, -10 percent, 17 percent, 22 percent, and 10 percent. Suppose the average inflation rate over this period was 1.5 percent and the average T-bill rate over the period was 3 percent.
a. What was the average real return on Crash-n-Burn's stock?
b. What was the average nominal risk premium on Crash-n-Burn's stock?
Answer:
Crash-n-Burn Computers
a. The average real return on Crash-n-Burn's stock is:
= 8.3%
b. The average nominal risk premium on Crash-n-Burn's stock is:
= 6.8%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Average inflation rate = 1.5%
Average T-bill rate = 3%
Returns on stock:
Year 1 = 10%
Year 2 = -10%
Year 3 = 17%
Year 4 = 22%
Year 5 = 10%
Total returns = 49%
Average returns = Total returns/number of years
= 9.8% (49%/5)
Average real returns
= Average returns on the stock minus the inflation rate
= 8.3% (9.8% - 1.5%)
Average nominal risk premium = return on the stock minus the return on the T-bill
= 9.8% - 3%
= 6.8%
Birch Corp., a calendar-year corporation, was formed three years ago by its sole shareholder, James, who has operated it as an S corporation since its inception. Last year, James made a direct loan to Birch Corp. in the amount of $6,650. Birch Corp. has paid the interest on the loan but has not yet paid any principal. (Assume the loan qualifies as debt for tax purposes.) For the year, Birch experienced a $32,000 business loss.
What amount of the loss clears the tax basis limitation, and what is James?s basis in his Birch Corp. stock and Birch Corp. debt in each of the following alternative scenarios?
a. At the beginning of the year, James's basis in his Birch Corp. stock was $46,100 and his basis in his Birch Corp. debt was $6,600.
b. At the beginning of the year, James's basis in his Birch Corp. stock was $10,300 and his basis in his Birch Corp. debt was $6,600.
c. At the beginning of the year, James's basis in his Birch Corp. stock was $0 and his basis in his Birch Corp. debt was $6,600.
Answer:
A. $32,000 clears the tax basis limitation
$14,100 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$6,600 Birch Corp. debt
B. $16,900 clears the tax basis limitation
$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$0 Birch Corp. debt
$15,000 suspended loss
C. $6,600 clears the tax basis limitation
$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$0 Birch Corp. debt
$25,400 suspended loss
Explanation:
A. Based on the information given All the $32,000 amount of the loss will clear up the tax basis limitation which means that James’s stock basis will be reduced to $14,100 ($46,100 – $32,000 loss) while His debt basis on the other hand remains at $6,600.
Therefore:
$32,000 clears the tax basis limitation
$14,100 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$6,600 Birch Corp. debt
B. Based on the information given of the $32,000 loss, $16,900($10,300+$6,600) will clear up the tax basis limitation, While his stock basis will be reduced from $10,300 to $0, and his debt basis will be reduced from $6,600 to $0. Which means that he has a suspended loss of $15,100 ($32,000 - $16,900)
Therefore:
$16,900 clears the tax basis limitation
$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$0 Birch Corp. debt
$15,000 suspended loss
C. Based on the information given the amount of $6,600 will clear up the tax basis limitation. His stock basis will remains at $0, while his debt basis will be reduced from $6,600 to $0. Which means that he has a suspended loss of $25,400 ($32,000 – $6,600)
Therefore:
$6,600 clears the tax basis limitation
$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$0 Birch Corp. debt
$25,400 suspended loss
Miracle Clean's variable costs are $3.00 per bottle and Fixed Expenses are $350,000 per year. The company currently sells 150,000 bottles for $6.50 which results in profit of $175,000. The company is considering raising the selling price to $7.00 per bottle which is expected to decrease sales by 20%. If the price is raised profits are expected to (increase/decrease) by $__________ per year. (Enter the profit increase or decrease as a whole number.)
Answer:
If the company decides to raise the selling price by $0.5, net income will decrease by $45,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary variable cost= $3
Number of units sold= 150,000
Selling price= $6.5
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Net income= number of units sold*unitary contribution margin - fixed costs
Previous:
Net income= 150,000*3.5 - 350,000
Net income= $175,000
After:
Net income= 120,000*4 - 350,000
Net income= $130,000
Unitary contribution margin= 7 - 3= 4
Number of units sold= 150,000*0.8= 120,000
If the company decides to raise the selling price by $0.5, net income will decrease by $45,000
A machine cost $1104000, has annual depreciation of $184000, and has accumulated depreciation of $874000 on December 31, 2020. On April 1, 2021, when the machine has a fair value of $253000, it is exchanged for a machine with a fair value of $1242000 and the proper amount of cash is paid. The exchange had commercial substance. The new machine should be recorded at $1127000. $1242000. $989000. $1219000.
Answer:
$1,242,000
Explanation:
The new machine is to be recorded at its Fair Value which is $1,242,000 because the exchange has a commercial substance. Asset forgone is credited by its original cost, and accumulated depreciation till date of exchange is debited. Cash paid and loss or gain is adjusted as required. But the new asset is debited by the amount of its Fair Value on the day of exchange.
when originally issued, an investment in bonds of Flushing Dough, Inc., promised to provide an annual coupon of 7.50%. The bonds have 4 years until maturity, a market price of $735, and are expected to pay all coupon on time. At maturity, however, the bonds are only forecasted to pay 84% of their par value. What is the likely yield to maturity on the bonds
Answer:
13.14%
Explanation:
Yield to maturity on the bonds is derived using the Ms RATE function:
Yield to maturity = RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv)
Yield to maturity = RATE(4, 7.50%*1000, -735, 84%*1000)
Yield to maturity = 0.131435387
Yield to maturity = 13.14%
Hence, the likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 13.14%
