Costly Corporation plans a new issue of bonds with a par value of $1000, a maturity of 37 years, and an annual coupon rate of 11.0%. Flotation costs associated with a new debt issue would equal 3.0% of the market value of the bonds. Currently, the appropriate discount rate for bonds of firms similar to Costly is 9.0%. The firm's marginal tax rate is 50%. What will the firm's true cost of debt be for this new bond issue
Answer: hello the options related to your question is missing attached below are the missing options
answer : 4.65% ( option 3 )
Explanation:
par value of bond = $1000
Maturity period = 37 years
Annual coupon rate = 11.0%
Floating costs = 3.0% of market value of bonds
Discount rate for bonds of firms similar = 9.0 %
Marginal tax rate = 50%
Determine the firm's true cost of debt
Nper = 37
coupon rate = 11.0%
PMT = face value * coupon rate = 1000 * 11% = $110
present value ( PV ) = $1,176.67
step 2 ; calculate the value of YTM
YTM = 9.29% using excel function: rate( 37, 110, -1176.67, 1000 )
step 3 : calculate True cost of debt
YTM * ( 1 - marginal tax rate )
= 9.29% * ( 1 - 0.5 )
= 4.65%

Suppose a coalition of students from Lincoln High School succeeds in persuading the local government to impose a price ceiling of $11.00 on used DVDs, on the grounds that local suppliers are taking advantage of teenagers by charging exorbitant prices. a. Calculate the weekly shortage of used DVDs that will result from this policy. Instructions: Enter your response as a whole number. used DVDs. b. Calculate the new consumer surplus, the new producer surplus, and the total economic surplus lost every week as a result of the price ceiling.
Answer: Hi your question is incomplete attached below are the missing details
answer :
A) 16 used DVDs
B) i) $18
ii) $6
iii) $8
Explanation:
A) Determine the weekly shortage of used DVDs due to ceiling price = $11
shortage = Quantity demanded ( H ) - Quantity supplied ( F )
at ceiling price of $11 ; quantity demanded = 20 , Quantity supplied = 4
= 20 - 4 = 16 used DVDs
B) i) New consumer surplus = ADLK
ADLK = ∠ ABK + BKLD
= 1/2 * 4 * 1 ) + ( 15 - 11 )*4 = $18
ii) New producer surplus = DLE
DLE = 1/2 * 4 * ( 11-8 )
= $6
iii) Total economic surplus lost
ΔKJL = 1/2 ( 8 - 4 ) * ( 15 - 11 )
= $8

Paraguay Pipes Inc. has a cost of equity of 11.1 percent, the YTM on the company's bonds is 5.7 percent, and the tax rate is 35 percent. The company's bonds sell for 93.1 percent of par. The debt has a book value of $393,000 and total assets have a book value of $947,000. If the market-to-book ratio is 2.59 times, what is the company's WACC?
Answer: 9.5978%
Explanation:
Firstly, we should note that the total book value of equity will be the difference between the total assets book value and the total debt book value which will be:
= $947,000 - $393,000
= $554,000
Then, we'll calculate the market value which will be:
= market-to-book ratio × book value
= 2.59 × $554,000
= $1,434,860
Then, the after tax cost of debt will be:
= 5.7(1 - Tax rate)
= 5.7(1 - 35%)
= 5.7(1 - 0.35)
= 5.7(0.65)
= 3.705%
Equity = $1,434,860
Debt = $393,000 × 93.1%
= $365883
Total market value = $1,800,743
WACC = Respective costs × Respective weights
= ($1,434,860/$1,800,743 × 11.1%) + ($365883/$1,800,743 × 3.705%)
= 0.08845 + 0.007528
= 0.095978
= 9.5978%

Suppose a basketball player has made 300300 out of 385385 free throws. If the player makes the next 33 free throws, I will pay you $25$ 25. Otherwise you pay me $24$ 24. Step 1 of 2: Find the expected value of the proposition. Round your answer to two decimal places. Losses must be expressed as negative values.
Answer: -0.8166
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the expected value of the proposition goes thus:
The probability of player made a free throw will be:
p = 300/385 = 60/77
The probability of the player makes the next 3 free throws will be:
= (60/77)³ = 0.4731
Therefore, we'll then calculate the probability that the player won't make the next 3 free throws. This will be:
= 1 - 0.4731
= 0.5269
The expected value of the proposition will be:
= 0.4731 × 25 +0.5269 × (-24)
= -0.8166
Therefore, ghe expected value of the proposition will be -0.8166
Slipper Company sold a productive asset, a machine, for cash. It originally cost Slipper $29,000. The accumulated depreciation at the date of disposal was $24,000. A gain on the disposal of $2,900 was reported. What was the asset's selling price
Answer:
$7,900 = selling price
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Original cost= $29,000
Accumulated depreciation= $24,000
Gain= $2,900
First, we will determine the book value:
Book value= original cost - accumulated depreciation
Book value= 29,000 - 24,000 = $5,000
Now, the selling price:
Gain/loss= selling price - book value
2,900= selling price - 5,000
$7,900 = selling price
The Nash equilibrium of this game is for Tying-the-Knot to set alow price and Bridezilla-No-More to set alow price. True or False: Both firms would be worse off if they cooperated and set a high price for their services, instead of using the Nash equilibrium. True False Suppose that the firms play this game indefinitely. Both firms agree to cooperate in order to maintain higher profits. To deter cheating, Tying-the-Knot announces that it will play a grim strategy. Given this strategy, what will happen if Bridezilla-No-More breaks the cooperative agreement in the first period
Answer:
Tying-the-Knot and Bridezilla-No-More
1. The Nash equilibrium of this game is for Tying-the-Knot to set a low price and Bridezilla-No-More to set a low price.
True
2. Both firms would be worse off if they cooperated and set a high price for their services, instead of using the Nash equilibrium.
False
3. Given Tying-the-Knot grim strategy, if Bridezilla-No-More breaks the cooperative agreement in the first period,
there will be a permanent breakdown in cooperation between the two firms.
Explanation:
Playing the grim trigger strategy, Tying-the-Knot cooperates with Bridezilla-No-More in the first round and in the subsequent rounds as long as Bridezilla-No-More does not defect from the agreement. Once Tying-the-Knot finds that Bridezilla-No-More has betrayed the agreement in the previous game, he will then defect forever. Both firms will then lose as they cannot cooperate to achieve higher profits.
Bramble Corp. expects to purchase $110000 of materials in July and $130000 of materials in August. Three-fourths of all purchases are paid for in the month of purchase, and the other one-fourth are paid for in the month following the month of purchase. How much will August's cash disbursements for materials purchases be
Answer:
$125,000
Explanation:
August's cash disbursements for materials purchases wiill be:
= July month purchase paid amount + August month purchase paid amount
= ($110,000 * 25%) + ($130,000 * 75%)
= $27,500 + $97,500
= $125,000

Answer:
a. $120
b. 5,000 units
c. 7,000 units
Explanation:
Hi, your question is incomplete, I found the full question online and uploaded text and image below.
Workings and explanations :
Contribution margin per unit = Sales - Variable Cots
= $200 - $80
= $120
Break even (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $600,000 ÷ $120
= 5,000 units
Unit Sales to achieve a target profit = (Targeted Profit + Fixed Costs) ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= ($240,000 + $600,000) ÷ $120
= 7,000 units
Margin of Safety = Expected sales - Break even Sales
Note : There is no much details about the current sales level
FULL DETAILS OF THE QUESTION IS AS FOLLOWS :

To record the issuance of the bonds at a discount.
2. Total bond interest expense to be recognized over the bonds' life:
= $287,160
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 1, 2019
Face value of bonds issued = $640,000
Price of bonds = $570,443
Bonds discount = $69,557 ($640,000 - $570,443)
Coupon interest rate = 8.5%
Market interest rate = 12%
Maturity period = 4 years
Interest payment = semiannual on June 30 and December 31
With straight-line amortization of bonds discount, the semiannual amortization will be = $8,695
Semi-annual interest payment = $27,200 ($640,000 * 4.25%)
Semi-annual interest expense = $35,895 ($27,200 + $8,695)
Annual interest expense = $71,790
1. Transaction Analysis
January 1:
Cash $570,443 Bonds Discount $69,557 Bonds Payable $640,000
2. Total bond interest expense to be recognized over the bonds' life:

competitive markets are allocatively efficient. It is, however, difficult to find many examples of perfectly competition in the real world. Perfect competition is really a benchmark against which we compare other market structures in the real world. How much actual competition occurs in perfectly competitive markets
Answer:
Some level of actual competition still occurs in the perfectly competitive markets.
Explanation:
There is a perfect competition when have many sellers, it is easy for firms to enter and leave, products of the sellers are homogeneous, and sellers are price takers.
Perfect competition is a concept that exists only in theory and does not exist in reality. As a result, real-life examples of perfect competition are hard to come by, but there are a few that demonstrate the intensity of actual competition that exists in completely competitive markets.
Consider the instance of two competing supermarkets that both stock their aisles with goods from the same set of companies. Between the two supermarkets, there is little to separate products from one another, and their pricing is nearly identical.
The market for unbranded products, which contains cheaper replicas of well-known brands, is another example of ideal competition.
Product knockoffs are often priced in the same way and it may be difficult to differentiate them. If one of the companies that makes or supplies such a product leaves the industry, another one takes its place.
Despite that perfect competition is a concept that exists only in theory, the above examples therefore show that some level of actual competition still occurs in the perfectly competitive markets.
Wyatt keeps $25,000 in an interest-bearing time deposit with the Bigbux Bank. While earning a relatively attractive rate of interest, Wyatt had to agree to not withdraw any of the funds until the end of a three-year period. Wyatt's investment represents a(n)
Answer:
Certificate of deposit
Explanation:
A certificate of deposit is one of the most common and safest investment mechanisms. It consists in depositing a fixed amount of money at a bank or any other financial institution that offers the service, for a fixed amount of time, and in exchange for a fixed interest rate.
Certificates of deposit are one of the safest investment options, but for the same reason, they are one of the least profitable. It is well known that one of the central principles of finance is that the higher the risk, the higher the profitability, and the lower the risk, the lower the profitability.
The exercise value is also called the strike price, but this term is generally used when discussing convertibles rather than financial options. True False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The strike price is used at the time of trading of the options, while on the other hand the option that could be exercised is when take place when there is a delivery of the stock.

Also it is to be termed as the convertible bonds, but it should be more used for the option trading
Therefore the given statement is false
Consider the assembly line of a laptop computer. The line consists of 11 stations and operates at a cycle time of 1.50 minutes/unit. Their most error-prone operation is step 2. There is no inventory between the stations, because this is a machine-paced line. Final inspection happens at station 11.
Required:
What would be the information turnaround time for a defect made at station 2?
Answer: 13.5 minutes
Explanation:
Information turnaround time = Cycle time * Number of stations after error is made.
The most error-prone operation is step 2 so assuming an error happens there, there will be 9 more stations in the line.
Information turnaround time will therefore be:
= 1.50 * 9
= 13.5 minutes

The premiums for 3 month call and put options on euros are listed below: Strike price Call Put $1.25 $0.06 $0.02 The interest rate in dollars is 4% per annum. (That will be 1% for a 3 month period.) What is the 3 month ahead forward rate that is consistent with put call parity
Answer:
1.2904
Explanation:
S + P = C + X/(1+r)^n
S = ?, P = Premium of put 0.02, C = Premium of call 0.06, X = Strike price (1.25), r = 4%, n = 1.25 (3/12)
S + 0.02 = 0.06 + 1.25/(1.04)^0.25
S = 0.06 + 1.2378 - 0.02
S = 1.2778
F = S(1+r)^n
F = 1.2778*(1.04)^(3/12)
F = 1.2778*1.009853
F = 1.2903901634
F = 1.2904
So, the 3 month ahead forward rate that is consistent with put call parity is 1.2904.
