The Pennington Corporation issued a new series of bonds on January 1, 1987. The bonds were sold at par ($1,000); had a 12% coupon; and mature in 30 years, on December 31, 2016. Coupon payments are made semiannually (on June 30 and December 31).
A. What was the YTM on January 1, 1987?
B. What was the price of the bonds on January 1, 1992, 5 years later, assuming that interest rates had fallen to 10%?
C. Find the current yield, capital gains yield, and total return on January 1, 1992, given the price as determined in part b.
D. On July 1, 2010, 6 1/2 years before maturity, Pennington's bonds sold for $916.42. What were the YTM, the current yield, the capital gains yield, and the total return at that time?
E. Now assume that you plan to purchase an outstanding Pennington bond on March 1, 2010, when the going rate of interest given its risk was 15.5%. How large a check must you write to complete the transaction?
Answer:
A. What was the YTM on January 1, 1987?
since the bonds were sold at par, the YTM = coupon rate = 12%
B. What was the price of the bonds on January 1, 1992, 5 years later, assuming that interest rates had fallen to 10%?
0.5 = {60 + [(1,000 - m)/50]} / [(1,000 + m)/2]
25 + 0.025m = 60 + 20 - 0.02m
0.045m = 55
m = 55/0.045 = $1,222.22
C. Find the current yield, capital gains yield, and total return on January 1, 1992, given the price as determined in part b.
current yield = coupon / market price = $120 / $1,222.22 = 9.82%
capital gains yield = (P₁ - P₀)/P₀ = ($1,222.22 - $1,000)/$1,000 = 22.22%
total return = [(P₁ - P₀) + D]/P₀ = [($1,222.22 - $1,000) + $600] /$1,000 = 82.22%
D. On July 1, 2010, 6 1/2 years before maturity, Pennington's bonds sold for $916.42. What were the YTM, the current yield, the capital gains yield, and the total return at that time?
YTM = {60 + [(1,000 - 916.42)/13]} / [(1,000 + 916.42)/2] = 66.965 / 958.21 = 6.98856 x 2 (annual yield) = 13.98%
current yield = coupon / market price = $120 / $916.42 = 13.09%
capital gains yield = (P₁ - P₀)/P₀ = ($916.42 - $1,000)/$1,000 = -8.36%
total return = [(P₁ - P₀) + D]/P₀ = [($916.42 - $1,000) + $2,820] /$1,000 = 273.64%
E. Now assume that you plan to purchase an outstanding Pennington bond on March 1, 2010, when the going rate of interest given its risk was 15.5%. How large a check must you write to complete the transaction?
accrued interest = $60 x 2/6 = $20
0.075 = {60 + [(1,000 - m)/13]} / [(1,000 + m)/2]
0.03875(1,000 + m) = 136.92 - 0.07692m
38.75 + 0.03875m = 136.92 - 0.07692m
0.11567m = 98.17
m = 98.17 / 0.11567 = 848.71 + 20 (accrued interest) = $868.71
Consider the market for meekers in the imaginary economy of Meekertown. In the absence of international trade, the domestic price of a meeker is $23. Suppose that the world price for a meeker is $24. Assume that Meekertown is too small to influence the world price for meekers once they enter meeker the international market. If Meekertown allows free trade, then it will _______________ meeker.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
Export
true
Explanation:
Because the price of meekers in meekertown is lower than the world price for meekers, meekers from meekertown are cheaper. so if free trade is allowed, other countries would want to purchase meekers from meekertown because it is cheaper.
So, meekertown would export meekers if free trade is allowed.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
this is so because if the country is efficient in production of a good (producing at a lower price when compared to the world price), export of the good would increase thus increasing producer surplus. if on the other hand, the country is inefficient in producing a good and the country allows for free trade, the country can import the good. this would increase consumer surplus.

ABG Corporation has the following dividend forecasts for the next three years: Year Expected Dividend 1 $ .25 2 $ .50 3 $ 1.25 After the third year, the dividend will grow at a constant rate of 5% per year. The required return is 10%. What is the price of the stock today?
Answer:
Price of share today = $21.302
Explanation:
The price of a share can be calculated using the dividend valuation model
According to this model the value of share is equal to the sum of the present values of its future cash dividends discounted at the required rate of return.
If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:
Price=Do (1+g)/(k-g)
Do - dividend in the following year, K- requited rate of return , g- growth rate
Step 1 : PV of dividend from year 1 to 3
Year PV of Dividend
1 0.25 × 1.1^(-1) = 0.227
2 0.50 × 1.1^(-2) = 0.413
3 1.25 × 1.1^(-3) = 0.939
Strep 2 : PV of dividend from year 4 to infinity
PV (in year 3 terms) of dividend= 1.25 × 1.05/(0.1-0.05) = 26.25
PV in year 0 terms = 26.25 × 1.1^(-3) = 19.72
Present Value = 0.227 + 0.413 + 0.939 + 19.72 = 21.302
Price of share today = $21.302
Consider a fast food café of your choice. Apply 4 V’s of Operation. Describe each V as ‘High’, ‘Low’ or ‘Moderate’ with one liner reason.
Answer:
4 V's of Operation
The 4 V's of operation are Volume, Variety, Variation, and Visibility. Let us take Mrs. Happy Food Cafe with over 100 outlets in Fiacton Town, as an example to illustrate the 4 V's of operation.
Volume: As a food cafe, the volume of production that will be required for some foods and drinks is so high that their provision requires repetitive tasks. Based on this, procedures are normally standardized in order to achieve low cost for foods and drinks. However, it is harder to standardize services, since personal touches are added by the servers based on their individual perceptions and abilities.
Variety: Mrs. Happy Food Cafe tries to bring some variety in her offerings to satisfy the various needs of her customers. While variety is naturally low in the Food Cafe sector, some cafes like Mrs. Happy Good Cafe, try to satisfy customers' demands by varying the foods with Continental, African, Latino cuisines and dishes.
Variation: At Mrs Happy Food cafes, the food and drinks do not vary much as customers expect to be served the same quality of services at any of their cafes. This is because the processes are standardized to achieve low cost. So, the variation is moderate.
Visibility: Customers of Mrs Happy Food cafes are not able to see and track their experiences of the the processes for the food preparation that they order. But, they can track the processes for the services because services are consumed as they are offered. So, visibility is 'Moderate," as it is divided between the hard goods and the soft goods. With respect to goods visibility is 'Low.' However, with respect to the services the customers' visibility of processes is high.
Explanation:
The 4 V's of operation describe the different characteristics of the processes that various entities use to transform their inputs into outputs of goods and services. They may be high, low, or moderate. They include, volume, variety, variation, and visibility.
It costs a bakery $3 to sell a single cake. This bakery makes $7 in revenue from each cake it sells. Assume this bakery sells 25 cakes. What is its total profits
Answer:
$100
Explanation:
The revenue is the total amount the company receives for the sale of products and the profit is the amount left after the costs are subtracted. Because of that, to calculate the profit you have to subtract the costs from the revenue generated:
Profit= Revenue-costs
Profit= (7*25)-(3*25)
Profit=175-75
Profit= 100
According to this, the total profit is $100.

Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the direct material used in production:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 22,000 + 99,000 - 25,000
Direct material used= $96,000
Now, we can determine the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 34,000 + 96,000 + 124,000 + 99,000 - 44,000
cost of goods manufactured= $309,000
Finally, the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 74,000 + 309,000 - 54,000
COGS= $329,000

Roll over each item on the left to read the description. Identify whether each of the statements is an argument for or an argument against a specific exchange rate regime, then place each item in the correct place on the chart.
2/5 points awarded Government adjusts Fluctuation with limits Scored Reduces uncertainty Argument for Argument Against Market-based Floating exchange rate Uncertainty Market-based Unknown elements Continual government intervention Fixed exchange rate No uncertainty Continual government intervention Managed-float Difficult Fluctuation with limits Difficult Pegged exchange rate Limited options Government adjusts Limited options Target Zone Reduces uncertainty Unknown elements No uncertainty
Answer:
Floating exchange rate
Here the market decides the value of the currency as it trade freely in the market based on supply and demand.
Argument For;
Market Based - It is market based therefore it reflects the true value of the currency.
Argument Against;
Uncertainty - As it trades according to the whims of supply and demand, telling which direction it will go in terms of value is a difficult undertaking therefore financial decisions based on such are riskier.
Fixed exchange rate
Here the value of the currency is fixed either to the value of another currency or to the price of gold.
Argument For;
No Uncertainty - As the currency is tied to another currency which is usually more stable or gold, the rate of the currency is more predictable.
Argument Against;
Unknown Elements
Managed float
In this exchange rate regime, the Central bank of a country intervenes in the Foreign exchange market to push or pull the currency in the direction that it prefers.
Argument For;
Government intervention - The Government Intervention ensures that the currency's value remains stable as well as allowing the Central bank to maintain a good balance of payments.
Argument Against;
Difficult - Maintaining the currency within the band preferred in a difficult undertaking that requires constant intervention in the Forex market.
Pegged exchange rate
The Central bank in this instance pegs the currency to a basket of currencies after setting an exchange rate it would prefer and then intervenes in forex market to keep it that way.

Sager Industries is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of $86,000 with a $7,000 residual value and a 10-year life. The equipment will replace three employees who has an average total wages of $15,810 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of $4,190 per year. Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment.

130.77%
Explanation:
depreciation expense per year using straight method = (purchase cost - salvage value) / useful life = ($86,000 - $7,000) / 10 = $7,900
total costs = depreciation expense + operating and energy costs = $7,900 + $4,190 = $12,090
average rate of return = total savings / total costs = $15,810 / $12,090 = 1.30769 = 130.77%

Viserion, Inc., is trying to determine its cost of debt. The firm has a debt issue outstanding with 23 years to maturity that is quoted at 103 percent of face value. The issue makes semiannual payments and has an embedded cost of 6 percent annually. a. What is the company’s pretax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Viserion, Inc.
Cost of debt:
Premium on Debt = 3% (103 - 100%)
Amortization of the premium = 3%/23 = 0.13%
Interest cost = 6%
Cost of debt (pretax) = 6% - 0.13% = 5.87%
Explanation:
The cost of debt is the difference between the interest expense in percentage that Viserion, Inc. pays annually and the premium on the debt that must be amortized over the life of the debt. Since Viserion, Inc. pays 6% annually or 3% semiannually on the debt and amortizes 0.13% of the debt premium, the amortization rate is taken away from the annual interest to get the cost of debts in percentage terms.
