In the above table, find the Treasury bond that matures in May 2036. What is the asked price of this bond in dollars?
Answers
Answer:
$1,247.12
Explanation:
For computing the asked price we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 4.151% ÷ 2 = 2.076%
NPER = 17 years × 2 = 34 years
The 20 years come from May 2019 to May 2036
PMT = $1,000 × 6.193% ÷ 2 = $30.965
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value or the ask price is $1,247.12

Assume that Clampett, Inc., has $390,000 of sales, $340,000 of cost of goods sold, $250,000 of interest income, and $230,000 of dividends. What is Clampett, Inc.'s excess net passive income
Answers
Answer:
Clampett, Inc.'s excess net passive income is $262,500.
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the Gross Receipt
Gross Receipt
Sales $390,000
Interest Income $250,000
Dividend $230,000
Gross receipts $870,000
25% of Gross receipt = $870,000 x 25% = $217,500
Now Calculate the passive income
Interest Income $250,000
Dividend $230,000
Passive Income $480,000
Now calculate the excess passive income
Excess passive income = Passive income - 25% of gross receipt
Excess passive income = $480,000 - $217,500 = $262,500
Explain how the Federal Reserve Board can increase or decrease the money supply using each of the following tools: reserve requirements, open-market activities, and discount rates
Answers
Answer:
Reserve requirements – Reserve requirement increases to decrease the money supply or vice versa.
Open-market activities – the Fed sell the securities to reduce money supply or purchase it to increase the money supply.
Discount rates – Decrease the discount rate to increase the money supply or vice versa.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve increases or decreases the money supply by using various tools. So in the case of the reserve requirement, the bank increases the percentage of reserve requirement if the Fed wants to decrease the money supply and to increase the money supply it reduces the reserve requirements. In the case of open market operations, the Fed sells securities and bonds in the market in order to reduce the supply of money or to decrease the supply of money it buys the securities from the market.
In the case of a discount rate, the Fed reduces the discount rate to increase the money supply because reducing the discount rate will induce the banks to give more loans. But to decrease the money supply, the Fed increases the discount rate because an increase in the discount rate reduces the ability of banks to give loans.

Clayborn Company deposits all cash receipts on the day they are received and makes all cash payments by check. At the close of business on May 31, its Cash account shows a debit balance of $28,525. Clayborn's May bank statement shows $25,000 on deposit in the bank. Determine the adjusted cash balance using the following information:Deposit in transit $5,200Outstanding checks $4,600Bank service fees, not yet recorded by company $25A NSF check from a customer, not yet recorded by the company $600Required:What should be the adjusted cash balance?
Answers
Answer:
$27,900
Explanation:
The computation of adjusted cash balance is shown below:-
Adjusted cash balance = Balance at May 31 - bank service fees - NSF check
= $28,525 - $25 - $600
= $27,900
Therefore for computing the adjusted cash balance we simply deduct the bank service fee and NSF check from balance at may 31
Hence, the adjusted cash balance is $27,900
If he wanted the cash award of each of the five prizes to be $45,000 and his estate could earn 7% per year, how much would he need to fund his prizes
Answers
Answer:

Your firm (an Australian firm) makes a sale to a Japanese customer. The sale price is 200 million Japanese Yen payable in exactly three months from today. The current exchange rate is AUD/JPY = 90 (i.e., 1 Australian Dollar (AUD) is worth 90 Japanese Yen (JPY)). The current interest rates in Australia and Japan are 3% p.a. and 0.5% p.a., respectively.Given this information, please answer the following questions. Please label your answers according to parts.(a) Given that Australian Dollar is the domestic currency, what is the direct quote of the exchange rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen ? Please round the final answer to five decimal places.(b) What is the theoretical current forward exchange rate quoted directly in terms of Australian Dollar (i.e. JPY/AUD) for delivery three months from today ? Show your input to the formula to arrive at the final answer. Please round the final answer to five decimal places.(c) How can the firm take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million ? (Hint: Which derivative instrument can be used to achieve this objective?(d) Ignoring the cost of the derivative instrument to be used in part (c), what would be the outcome from hedging if the spot exchange rate in 3 month’s time is (i) AUD/JPY=150 and (ii) AUD/JPY = 50?
Answers
Answer:
An Australian Firm Selling to a Japanese Customer
a) Direct Quote of the Exchange Rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen:
A$ 1 = ¥90
Meaning 1 Australian Dollar = 90 Japanese Yen.
Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90
b)Theoretical Current Forward Exchange Rate, quoted in terms of JPY/AUD for delivery in three months:
= Spot Rate x (1 + Japanese Interest Rate) / (1 + Australian Interest Rate) x 360/90
= ¥90 x (1 +0.005) / (1 +0.03) x 360/90 = ¥90 x 1.005/1.03 x 360/90
= ¥351.26214 =A$1
c) The Australian firm can take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million by entering into a Currency Forwards Contract.
d) If the spot exchange rate in 3 month's time is:
(i) AUD/JPY=150, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the gain of:
Forward Exchange outcome in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥150 =
A$ 1,333,333.33333
Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome
A$2 million - A$ 1,333,333.33333 = A$666,666.66667
(ii) AUD/JPY = 50, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the loss of:
Forward Exchange outcome = in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥50 =
A$4 million
Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome
A$2 million - $4 million = -A$2million
Explanation:
a) Currency forwards contracts and future contracts are used to hedge the currency risk. For example, a company expecting to receive ¥200 million in 90 days, can enter into a forward contract to deliver the ¥200 million and receive equivalent Australian dollars in 90 days at an exchange rate specified today.
b) If A$ 1 = ¥90
Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90 in Australian Dollars.

3. Problems and Applications Q3 This chapter discusses companies that are oligopolists in the market for the goods they sell. Many of the same ideas apply to companies that are oligopolists in the market for the inputs they buy. If sellers who are oligopolists try to increase the price of goods they sell, the goal of buyers who are oligopolists is to try to decrease the prices of goods they buy. Major league baseball team owners have an oligopoly in the market for baseball players. The owners' goal is to keep players' salaries . True or False: This goal is difficult to achieve because teams can attract better players with higher salaries. True False Baseball players went on strike in 1994 because they would not accept the salary cap that the owners wanted to impose. True or False: The owners felt the need for a salary cap to dissolve collusive behavior over salaries. True False
Answers
Answer:
Oligopolistic Companies:
a) The owners' goal is to keep players' salaries capped. TRUE
b) Goal is difficult to achieve: TRUE
c) 1994 Baseball players' strike: TRUE
d) Owners needed salary cap to dissolve collusive behavior over salaries: TRUE.
Explanation:
a) According to the Economist, Oligopoly is "a market situation in which each of a few producers affects but does not control the market. Each producer must consider the effect of a price change on the actions of the other producers." There is little competition among the players as each tries to control the market with price cuts and quantity reductions. For example, a cut in price by one may lead to an equal reduction by the others, with the result that each firm will retain approximately the same share of the market as before but at a lowered profit level.
b) According to wikipedia.com, "The 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike was the eighth work stoppage in baseball history, as well as the fourth in-season work stoppage in 22 years. Due to the strike, both the 1994 and 1995 seasons were not played to a complete 162 games; the strike was called after most teams had played at least 113 games in 1994." The strike ended the next April, after 232 days, when the players had successfully resisted the salary cap.

Firm L has debt with a market value of $200,000 and a yield of 9%. The firm's equity has a market value of $300,000, its earnings are growing at a rate of 5%, and its tax rate is 40%. A similar firm with no debt has a cost of equity of 12%. Under the MM extension with growth, what is Firm L's cost of equity?
Answers
Answer:
Firm L's cost of equity is 13.2%
Explanation:
In order to calculate Firm L's cost of equity we would have to calculate the following formula:
Firm L's cost of equity=Unlevered cost of equity+D/E*( Unlevered cost of equity-cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)
D/E = debt/equity
D/E = $200,000/$300,000
D/E=0.6666
Therefore, Firm L's cost of equity= 12%+0.6666*(12%-9%)*(1-0.4)
Firm L's cost of equity=13.2%
Firm L's cost of equity is 13.2%

Suppose a company will issue new 20-year debt with a par value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 9%, paid annually. The issue price will be $1,000. The tax rate is 25%. If the flotation cost is 2% of the issue proceeds, then what is the after-tax cost of debt
Answers
Answer:
After cost of debt for a floatation cost of 2% is 6.62%
Explanation:
After tax cost of debt = Market interest × (1- tax rate)
We will get the cost of debt using the time value of money principle.
PV = -$1,000
Pmt = $1,000 × 9%
=$90
P/yr = 1
N = 20
FV =1,000
Tax rate = 25%
YTM
The market interest rate is 9% using financial calculator hence;
After-tax cost of debt = Market interest × (1-tax rate)
= 0.09 × (1 - 0.25)
= 0.0675 or 6.75%
If floatation cost is 2%, then
Net receipts after floatation cost = Cost × (1 - floatation rate)
= 0.0675 × (1- 0.02)
= 0.06615 or 6.62%
OJ's Orange Juice produces orange juice to sell in a competitive market.Given uncertainty in weather patterns, OJ has to determine how much juice to produce before knowing the competitive price. It is estimated that there is a 10 percent chance the competitive price will be $5 and a 90 percent chance the price will be $2. If the marginal cost of producing orange juice is MC(Q) = 2Q, then to maximize expected profits, OJ should produce:__________.a- 0.25 units. b- 2.5 units. c- 1.15 units. d- 0.9 units.
Answers
Answer:
c- 1.15 units.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Expected price at 10 percent = $5 * 10% = $0.5
Expected price at 90 percent = $2 * 90% = $1.80
Total expected price (EP) = $0.5 + $1.80 = $2.3
Since profit is maximized when EP = MC, we have:
2.3 = 2Q
Q = 2.3 / 2 = 1.15
Therefore, OJ should produce 1.15 units to maximize expected profit. The correction is therefore c- 1.15 units.

Answers
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $17,765
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Original cost= $66,600
Number of units= 200
Salvage value= $2,000
During the first year, the band performs 55 concerts.
To calculate the annual depreciation under the units-of- production method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units operated
Annual depreciation= [(66,600 - 2,000)/200]*55
Annual depreciation= $17,765
Due to use, wear and tear, the monetary worth of an object decreases with time. Depreciation is the term used to describe this reduction.

Let plug in the formula
= .20/20 = 1%
c. Calculation of how much the stock price is likely to fall
0.20*(1 – 15%) = P*(1 – 10%)
Solve for P = $0.19
d. Calculation of How much is the stock price likely to fall Suppose that the company decides to issue a 10% stock dividend instead of a cash dividend.
$1,000,000 + (1,000,000 * 10%)
$1,000,00+$100,000
= 1,100,000 total shares
Hence,
$20,000,000 / 1,100,000 = $18.18 per share
$20 – 18.18 = $1.82 fall
