Suppose the Schoof Company has this book value balance sheet: The notes payable are to banks, and the interest rate on this debt is 10%, the same as the rate on new bank loans. These bank loans are not used for seasonal financing but instead are part of the companys permanent capital structure. The long-term debt consists of 30,000 bonds, each with a par value of 1,000, an annual coupon interest rate of 6%, and a 20-year maturity. The going rate of interest on new long-term debt, rd, is 10%, and this is the present yield to maturity on the bonds. The common stock sells at a price of 60 per share. Calculate the firms market value capital structure.
Suppose two firms want to borrow money from a bank for a period of 10 years. Firm A has excellent credit and can borrow at the prime rate, whereas Firm B's credit standing is prime rate plus 2 percent. The current prime rate is 5.75 percent, the 30-year Treasury bond yield is 4.35 percent, the three-month Treasury bill yield is 3.54 percent, and the 10-year Treasury note yield is 4.24 percent. What are the appropriate loan rates for both the firms? 6.45% for Firm A, 7.75% for Firm B 6.45% for Firm A, 8.45% for Firm B 5.75% for Firm A, 8.45% for Firm B None of the above
A bank offers a corporate client a choice between borrowing cash at 9% per annum and borrowing Bitcoin at -5% per annum. The risk-free interest rate is 3% per annum, and storage costs are 7% per annum. The interest rates on the two loans are expressed with annual compounding. The risk-free interest rate and storage costs are expressed with continuous compounding. Suppose that the price of Bitcoin is $58,000 and the corporate client wants to borrow $1,160,000. Discuss whether the rate of interest on the Bitcoin loan is too high or too low in relation to the rate of interest on the cash loan. What is the correct rate of interest for Bitcoin loan?

What is the largest amount the money supply could ultimately increase? Explain. B. What would the money multiplier be in this case? Question 2. Suppose the government multiplier is 3.5, the money multiplier is 4.5, the income multiplier with respect to the money supply is 2.5 and the marginal tax rate is 20 percent.

A commercial bank has $200 million of floating-rate loans yielding the T-bill rate plus 2 percent. These loans are financed with $200 million of fixed-rate deposits costing 9 percent. A savings bank has $200 million of mortgages with a fixed rate of 13 percent. They are financed with $200 million in CDs with a variable rate of T-bill rate plus 3 percent. Propose a swap that would result in each institution having the same type of asset and liability cash flows.
