Answer:
convexity = 37.6306
Explanation:
given data:
maturity time = 7 years
yield to maturity (y) = 8% = 0.08
coupon bond = 6%
price= $89.59 ( gotten from the summation of pv(cf) from the table attached below )
t = time
convexity can be found using this formula
[tex]= \frac{1}{p(1+y)^2} * summation of (t +t^2) * pv(cf)[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{89.59*(1.08)^2} * 3932.310[/tex] = 37.6306

Valentine is a producer in a monopoly industry. Her demand curve and total cost curve are given as follows: Q = 160 - 4P ; TC = 4Q. The price of her product will be:
Answers
Answer: b) $22
Explanation:
A Monopoly will maximise output where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal cost.
Marginal revenue (MR) is the differential of Total revenue.
= (dTR/dQ ) 40Q - 0.25Q^2
= 40 - 0.5Q
Marginal Cost is the differential of Total cost.
= dTC/dQ
= 4
MR = MC
40 - 0.5Q = 4
36 = 0.5Q
Q = 72 units is the maximising quantity.
Price
Q = 160 - 4P
72 = 160 - 4P
4P = 160 -72
4P = 88
P = $22

West Corp. issued 14-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 9.8 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 103 percent of par value, what is the YTM?
Answers
Answer:
The answer is 9.38%
Explanation:
This is a semiannual paying coupon. And it means West Corp pays interest twice a year.
N(Number of periods) = 24 periods ( [14years - 2 years ago] x 2)
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?
PV(present value or market price) = $1,030 ( 103% x $1,000)
PMT( coupon payment) = $49 ( [9.8 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 24; PV = 1.030; PMT = 49; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 4.69
Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond for annual is 9.38% (4.69% x 2)

17,000 units of product A should be processed further.
Explanation:
Preparation of analysis that shows whether 17,000 units of Product A should be processed further or not.
Sell Process further
Sales $490,000 $1,228,000
Relevant costs
Additional cost to process further $300,000
Total relevant costs $300,000
Income (loss) $490,000 $928,000
Calculation for sales after processing further
Sales after processing further = (5,400 x $104) + (11,900 x $56)
Sales after processing further= $561,600 + $666,400
Sales after processing further= $1,228,000
Calculation for Net incremental income
Net incremental income = $928,000 - $490,000
Net incremental income= $438,000
Therefore 17,000 units of product A should be processed further.

Answers
Answer: $1381400
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Company A is considering a merger with Company B and that A has 43,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $32 a share while B has 12,800 shares outstanding priced at $44 a share and the merger is expected to create $5,400 of synergy.
The total value of the merged firm will be:
= (43,000 × $32) + (12,800 × $44) + $5,400 - $563,200
= $1,376,000 + $563,200 + $5,400 - $563,200
= $1,944,600 - $563,200
= $1,381,400

The choices do not provide any clue for further explanation. However, one can identify that the promise to assume a debt is a contract. For most business contracts to be enforceable, there is the need for the promise to be in writing. This provides a documented evidence which can be tendered in the court of law.

All jobs must be assigned. Cells B3:F7 contain the assignment costs of jobs to machines. Cells B12:F16 contain the decision variables. a) What formula should be placed in cell I3
Answers
Available Options Are:
A. =SUM(G12:G16).
B. =SUMPRODUCT(B3:F7, B12:F16)
C. SUMPRODUCT(B3:F7, B12:F16).
D. =SUM(B12:F16)
Answer:
Option B. =SUMPRODUCT(B3:F7, B12:F16)
Explanation:
Here we need summation of two rows B3:F7 and B12:F16. The formula that we will use will be SUMPRODUCT. To calculate sum product in I3 we will edit equal sign first and then "SUMPRODUCT(,)". Then complete the rows that we want to add. Before the coma sign we will place the first row which is B3:F7 and after the coma sign we will place the second row which is B12:F16. In this way we would compute the summation of values present in both rows.
This means that only Option B is correct here.
Option A is not correct because it is the summation of cells present in a single column which doesn't include any cost item assigned. Hence it is incorrect as the formula must be the summation of 2 rows.
Option C is incorrect because it doesn't includes equal sign at the start.
Option D is incorrect because it is only the sum of a single row B12:F16, hence it is incorrect.

b. $157.14
c. $163.43
d. $152.12
e. $36.72
Answers
Answer:
$157.14
Explanation:
Calculation for how much will you pay for the company's stock today
Using this formula
P0 = D1 / (Ke - g)
Where,
P0 = Price of Share
D1 = Current Dividend=$3.30
Ke = Cost of Equity=5.40%
g = growth rate=3.30%
Let plug in the formula
P0 = $3.30/ (5.40%-3.30%)
P0 = $3.30/0.021
P0= $157.14
Therefore the amount that you will pay for the company's stock today will be $157.14

the journal entry to record the issuing of the discount coupons should be:
Dr Premium (or toy coupons, or marketing) expense 35,000
Cr Toy coupons liability 35,000
Since 15,000 were redeemed in December, the adjusting entry should be:
December 31, year 4
Dr Toy coupons liability 7,500
Cr Toys inventory 7,500

Answers
Answer:
$834.73
Explanation:
the market value of the bonds is calculated by adding the present value of its maturity value (face value) + the present value of its coupon payments. The discount rate will be the market rate instead of the coupon rate:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6.5%)²⁰ = $283.80
PV of coupon payments = $50 x 11.01851 (PV annuity factor, 6.5%, 20 periods) = $550.93
the bond's market value = $283.80 + $550.93 = $834.73

Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answers
Answer:
a)
under plan I:
EBIT = $475,000
net income = $475,000
EPS = $475,000 / 195,000 stocks = $2.44
under plan II:
EBIT = $475,000
net income = $475,000 - ($2,900,000 x 7%) = $272,000
EPS = $272,000 / 145,000 stocks = $1.88
b)
under plan I:
EBIT = $725,000
net income = $725,000
EPS = $725,000 / 195,000 stocks = $3.72
under plan II:
EBIT = $725,000
net income = $725,000 - ($2,900,000 x 7%) = $522,000
EPS = $522,000 / 145,000 stocks = $3.60
c)
in thousands
EBIT / 195 = (EBIT - $203) / 145
145EBIT = 195EBIT - $39,585

EBIT = $39,585 / 50 = $791.7 x 1,000 = $791,700
The current yield is defined as the annual interest on a bond divided by par value true or false?
Answers
Answer: False
Explanation:
The Current Yield is calculated by dividing the annual interest on a bond by the current price and not the par value. This way the current price of the bond is the one that matters.
The Current Yield is calculated based on the logic of what the investor can expect as returns for purchasing the bond at the current rate and then holding it for a year or less and so is not the return that can be expected if the bond is held till maturity.

A firm is producing 20 units with an average total cost of $25 and marginal cost of $15. If it were to increase production to 21 units, which of the following must occur?
a. Marginal cost would decrease.
b. Marginal cost would increase.
c. Average total cost would decrease.
d. Average total cost would increase.
Answers
Answer:
c. Average total cost would decrease.
Explanation:
At the time of more units produced by a firm for a valid reason like efficient labor, good quality tools of production etc so in this the average fixed cost is inbuilt also it is allocated to the large number of output units plus the variable cost is also decline
Therefore the average total will always decline as the level of production increased because the average total cost involves both the cost i.e. average fixed cost and the average variable cost
Hence, option C is correct
Which of the following are examples of variable cost?

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A) When firms are deciding on the size of stock splits--say whether to declare a 2-for-1 split or a 3-for-1 split, it is best to declare the smaller one, in this case the 2-for-1 split, because then the after-split price will be higher than if the 3-for-1 split had been used.
B) Back before the SEC was created in the 1930s, companies would declare reverse splits in order to boost their stock prices. However, this was determined to be a deceptive practice, and reverse splits are illegal today.
C) Stock splits create more administrative problems for investors than stock dividends, especially determining the tax basis of their shares when they decide to sell them, so today stock dividends are used far more often than stock splits.
D) When a company declares a stock split, the price of the stock typically declines--for example, by about 50% after a 2-for-1 split--and this necessarily reduces the total market value of the firm's equity.
E) If a firm's stock price is quite high relative to most stocks--say $500 per share--then it can declare a stock split of say 20-for-1 so as to bring the price down to something close to $25. Moreover, if the price is relatively low--say $2 per share--then it can declare a "reverse split" of say 1-for-10 so as to bring the price up to somewhere around $20 per share.

Moreover, if the price is relatively low--say $2 per share--then it can declare a "reverse split" of say 1-for-10 so as to bring the price up to somewhere around $20 per share.
Explanation:
Stock Splits usually occur when a company believes that its stock price is relatively high compared to most other stocks.
