Suppose you have the following three zero-coupon bond (ZCB) available: a 1-year ZCB that costs $97, a 2-year ZCB that costs $95, and a 3-year ZCB that costs $92. Assume that the par values are $100.

a. What must the price of a 3-year coupon bond with at 8% coupon rate?
b. How would you make an arbitrage profit if the coupon bond was trading at $100?
c. How much arbitrage profit would you make per $100 of the 3-year coupon bond trade?

Answer: $1,304.30

Explanation:

Current price can be calculated by the formula:

= 1,300 * ( 1 + (4% - 2%)) ^ 2/12 months

= 1,300 * 1.0033058903246372019414946658385

= $1,304.29

= $1,304.30

Answer:

96.3 days

Explanation:

Inventory turnover is calculated as;

= ( Average inventory / cost of goods sold ) × 365

Where,

Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2

Average inventory = ($208,000 + $188,000) / 2

Average inventory = $198,000

Therefore,

Inventory turnover = ($198,000 / $750,000) × 365

Inventory turnover = 96.3 days

The average number of days for Tinker to sell it's inventory during 2019 is closest to 96.3 days

Answer:

Portfolio beta = 1.2125

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks' betas that form up the portfolio. To calculate the beta of a portfolio, we use the following formula,

Portfolio Beta = wA * Beta of A  +  wB * Beta of B  + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

w is the weight of each stock

Portfolio Beta = 100000/400000 * 1.4  +  70000/400000 * 1.6  +  

30000/400000 * 1.1  +  200000/400000 * 1

Portfolio beta = 1.2125

Answer:

Stenson, Inc.

The payback period for each project is:

Project A = 3 years

Project B = 4 years

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Year            Cash Flow A        Cash Flow B

0                  –$ 64,000           –$ 109,000

1                        26,500                  28,500

2                       34,400                   33,500

3                       28,500                  25,500

4                        14,500                 231,000

Total inflow  $103,900               $318,500

b) The payback period is the time when the cash outflow is recouped.  For project A, the payback period occurs in year 3.  For project B, the payback period occurs in year 4.  Based on the company's cutoff of three years, Project B may not be accepted even with its large cash inflow in year 4.  Therefore, the best decision will be to discount the cash inflows with a suitable rate of interest.  This will help Stenson, Inc. to decide between accepting Project A or Project B.

Answer:Net income=$164

Explanation:

Equity multiplier = 1 + Debt-equity ratio

Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.75

Equity multiplier = 1.75

And the total asset turnover is:

Total asset turnover = Sales / Total assets

Total asset turnover = $5,783 / $2,604

Total asset turnover = 2.22 times

ROE = (Profit margin)(Total asset turnover)(Equity multiplier)

0.11 = (Profit margin)(2.22)(1.75)

Profit margin =  0.14/3.885 =0.0283

Rearranging we can find the net income as

Profit margin = Net income / Sales

Net income = profit margin x Sales

Net income =0.0283 x $5,783,=  $163.6589 = $164

Answer:

im sorry

Explanation:

Answer and Explanation:

A. The point estimate of individuals that would provide yes responses is the sample proportion. The sample proportion is calculated by dividing number of yes responses by sample size:

p = x/n = 200/700= 0.2857

B. The standard error of the population is the square root of the product of the point estimate and it's complement divided by the sample size given by

√p(1-p)/n

=√0.2857(1-0.2857)/700= 0.0170

C. For confidence level 95%, z score is calculated 1-0.95= 0.05/2= 0.025

Z score checked under the table = 1.96

Boundaries=

P-1.96 *standard error and p+1.96 *standard error

= 0.2857-1.96*0.0170= -0.25238

=0.2857+1.96*0.0170= 0.31902

Note : BODMAS demands we multiply first in the above calculation before subtraction or addition.

Explanation:

First money ever made was just coins and it differed in worth compared to today. In the present, money is not only a physical object but it also an imaginary value on our bank accounts and cards. Having in mind that monetary transactions are all-in-all deposits, withdrawals and exchanges, its way easier to conduct those with not having to give and recieve money in physical form, but being, able to do it all while just transfering the numbers from one to another account. Bankers have less responsibility due to not having to stock all the money in safes and secure boxes, but just checking if all the numbers are adding up. So, shall we say, the development of money over time has improved the way in which monetary transactions are conducted because this way, it's safer, faster and much more trustworthy.

Answer:

The stock's arithmetic average is:

90.33%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Returns over three consecutive years:

Year 1 =   85%

Year 2 =  58%

Year 3 = 128%

Total returns = 271%

Average = Total returns divided by number of years

= 271/3

= 90.333

=90.33%

b) The arithmetic average is the total returns divided by the number of years involved.  This implies that we find the average or the mean by adding up some pieces of data together and dividing by the number of the pieces of data.

cash flow 2 = $500

cash flow 3 = $500

the simplest way to determine the IRR and MIRR is to use an excel spreadsheet and the IRR and MIRR functions:

IRR = 23.38%

in order to us the MIRR formula, we must use the 10% rate as both financing and reinvestment rates.  

MIRR = 18.29%

difference between them = 23.38% - 18.29% = 5.09%

Answer:

MIRR = 17%

Explanation:

The computation of the MIRR of a project is shown below:

Year Cash flows ( in $)

0       -850

1        300

2       320

3       340

4       360

WACC 12.25%

MIRR 17%

We simply applied the MIRR over the excel

We simply applied the attached formula so that the correct percentage could come

Answer:

The correct option is b. Spending variance.

Explanation:

Spending variance can be described as the difference between the actual cost and budgeted cost at the actual activity level.

Since cost of goods sold (COGS) is the direct costs incurred to produce the goods that is sold by a firm, it therefore implies that the amount of variance in cost of goods sold can be determined by comparing the actual results and the flexible budget at the actual activity level or actual units.

Based on the explanation above, the correct option is b. Spending variance. That is, Spending variance is an unfavorable variance of $5,000 in cost of goods sold is determined by comparing the actual results (10,000 units) and the flexible budget (10,000 units).

Answer:

b. supply; demand

Explanation:

Before Keynes, classical economists thought that aggregate supply was more important than aggregate demand in determining the overall economic level of a country. This was mainly because of the belief in say's law: the law stated that every offer creates its own deamand.

Keynes changed economics because he stated that demand and supply do not always reach equilibrium, and that demand is often insufficient, and it is the government job to stimulate demand through expansionary monetary and fiscal policy, like lowering interest rates and cutting taxes.

Answer:

Assume the weight to be invested in Bay Corp is x. That means (1 - x) will be the weight for City Inc. The expression for the expected return will be;

(x * 11.2%) + ( (1 - x) * 14.8%) = 12.4%

0.112x + 0.148 - 0.148x = 0.124

-0.036x = -0.024

x = 0.67

Portfolio beta is;

= 0.67 * 1.2 + ( 1 - 0.67) * 1.8

= 1.398 so beta condition is satisfied.

Amount in Bay Corp.;

= 0.67 * 50,000

= $33,500

Amount in City Inc.;

= 50,000 - 33,500

= $16,500

The amounts that will be invested in Bay Corp. and City Inc. will be $33500 and $16500.

Therefore, the equation to solve the question will be:

( x × 11.2%) + [(1 - x) × 14.8%)] = 12.4%

Open the brackets

0.112x + 0.148 - 0.148x = 0.124

Collect like terms

-0.036x = -0.024

x = -0.024 / 0.036

x = 0.67

The portfolio beta will be:

= 0.67 * 1.2 + ( 1 - 0.67) × 1.8

= 1.398 .

Therefore, the amount invested in Bay Corp will be:

= 0.67 × $50,000

= $33,500

Therefore, the amount in City Inc. will be:

= $50,000 - $33,500

= $16,500
