Answer:
6%
Explanation:
Given the following :
Amount of bond issued = $10,000,000
Cash paid = $300,000
Term of bond = 10years
Semiannual interest pay
The stated annual rate of interest on the bond can be calculated thus :
Rate of interest ;
Cash paid / Amount of bond issued
$300,000 / $10,000,000
= 0.03
0.03 * 100%
= 3% (semiannual interest)
Therefore, annual rate of interest :
Semiannual rate * 2
3% * 2 = 6%

Analysts are forecasting LifeTech Corporation's common stock price to be $120 at the end of one year. Also, LifeTech will pay a dividend of $2.60 one year from now. You plan to buy the stock now and sell at the end of one year. If you require a 13% return, what would you be willing to pay to buy the stock now
Answer:
Price to pay now for the stock = $96.278
Explanation:
The price of the stock would be the present value(PV) of the future cash flow expected from it discounted at the required rate of 13%
Hence we would add the present value of he dividend and the resent of he price at the end of the period
PV = CF × (1+r)^(-n)
CF- Cash Flow
R- rate of return- 13%
n- number of years
PV of dividend = 2.60 × (1.13)^(-1) = 2.30
PV of stock price after a year = 120× (1.13)^(-1) = 93.97
Price to pay now for the stock = 2.30 + 93.97 = $96.278
Price to pay now for the stock = $96.278

Suppose you know a company's stock currently sells for $90 per share and the required return on the stock is 8 percent. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield. If it's the company's policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share?
Answer: $3.46
Explanation:
Given the following :
Current share price (P0) = $90 per share
Required return on stock= 8%
total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield ;
Therefore, Required return on stock= 8% ;
4% capital gain yield + 4% Dividend yield = 8%
Growth rate = 4% = 4/ 100 = 0.04
D1 = D0(1 + g)
D1 = value of next year's Dividend
D0 = current Dividend yield
g = Constant growth rate
D1 = current stock price * g
D1 = 90 * 0.04 = 3.6
D1 = D0(1 + g)
D0 = D1 / (1+g)
D0 = 3.6 / (1+ 0.04)
D0 = 3.6 / 1.04
D0 = $3.46

Offshore oil-drilling operations entail an unavoidable risk of an oil spill, but importing oil on tankers presently entails an even greater such risk per barrel of oil. Therefore, if we are to reduce the risk of an oil spill without curtailing our use of oil, we must invest more in offshore operations and import less oil on tankers.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above.
A) Tankers can easily be redesigned so that their use entails less risk of an oil spill.
B) Oil spills caused by tankers have generally been more serious than those caused by offshore operations.
C) The impact of offshore operations on the environments can be controlled by careful management.

Because Toyota's investment eventually increases the level of R&D spending for his given level of sales revenue what would the effect on Toyota's return on invested capital (ROIC)?
Available Options Are:
a. Increasing ROIC by increasing return on sales
b. Decreasing ROIC by increasing return on sales
c. Decreasing ROIC by decreasing return on sales
d. Increasing ROIC by decreasing return on sales
Answer:
Option C. Decreasing ROIC by decreasing return on sales
Explanation:
The return on sales would be reduced as the research expenses have increased substantially. The implications of increased research expenses on the ROIC can be understood by analyzing the ROIC formula which is given as under:
ROCI = Operating Income (1 - Tax Rate) / Book Value of Invested Capital
As revenue expenditure (Research and Development expenses) of the company has increased, this would decrease the operating income of the company which means that the numerator would be decreased and as a result the ROIC would decrease.
A bond currently sells for $1,170, which gives it a yield to maturity of 5%. Suppose that if the yield increases by 30 basis points, the price of the bond falls to $1,140. What is the duration of this bond
Answer:
8.53 years
Explanation:
Calculation for the duration of the bond
The first step is to calculate for Change in Bond Price
Change in Bond Price = -(30)/1,170
Change in Bond Price = -0.0256×100
Change in Bond Price =-2.56%
Second step is to find the Effective Duration
Effective duration = -0.0256/0.0030
Effective Duration = 8.53 years
Therefore the duration of this bond will be 8.53 years
Two years ago Joshua Ryan bought 100 XYZ at $60 per share. While he held the stock it paid dividends of $1 the first year and $1.50 the second year. Joshua sold the shares at $40 per share after a 2 for 1 stock split. How much gain or loss did he incur per share for tax purposes
Answer: He incur $10 per share for tax purposes.
Explanation:
Formula to calculate a gain or loss for tax purposes:
Gain or Loss for tax purposes = proceeds - cost basis
Cost per share = $ 60
After 2 for 1 stock split, the value of per share = (Cost per share) ÷2
= ($60) ÷2 = $30
Sale price of a share = $40
Since, $40 > $30, i.e. Sale price> Cost per share .So its a gain.
Gain= $40 - $30 = $10
Hence, he incur $10 per share for tax purposes.
