A company XYZ issued 30 year bonds with 10% annual coupon rate at their par value of $1000 in 2010. The Bonds had a 7% call premium, with 5 years of call protection. Today XYZ called the bonds. Compute the realized rate of return for an investor who purchased the bonds when they were issued in 2010. Briefly explain why the investor should or should not be happy.
The diversifiable risk of a portfolio:a. Is correlated with systematic risk.b. Can be made sufficiently small.c. Is zero in the real world.d. Is the risk that investors lose because of transaction costs.
The quoted futures price corresponds to a forward rate of 8% per annum with quarterly compounding and actual/360. The parameters for Black’s model are therefore:Fk = 0.08, K=0.08, R=0.075, tk=0.75, SDk=0.15and P(0,tk+1)=e-0.075x1=0.9277 . Use these information to estimate the call price.
The earnings, dividends, and stock price of Shelby Inc. are expected to grow at 4% per year in the future. Shelby's common stock sells for $28 per share, its last dividend was $2.50, and the company will pay a dividend of $2.60 at the end of the current year. a. Using the discounted cash flow approach, what is its cost of equity? Round your answer to two decimal places. b. If the firm's beta is 1.1, the risk-free rate is 9%, and the expected return on the market is 13%, then what would be the firm's cost of equity based on the CAPM approach? Round your answer to two decimal places. c. If the firm's bonds earn a return of 10%, then what would be your estimate of rs using the own-bond-yield-plus-judgmental-risk-premium approach? (Hint: Use the mid-point of the risk premium range.) Round your answer to two decimal places. d. On the basis of the results of parts a–c, what would be your estimate of Shelby's cost of equity? Assume Shelby values each approach equally. Round your answer to two…
A car dealership wants to try out a new leasing arrangement, which will allow a buyer to trade a car back to the dealership for a certain amount of credit at any time throughout the first five years of ownership. For a car in good condition, the arrangement will value the car at 1/5 the original price at the end of five years, and will depreciate the value of the car linearly over the course of the five years. What is the value of a car with initial purchase price P at the end of the third year? Write your answer as an expression in terms of P. Write the exact answer. Do not round.
A manufacturing firm, Caleb Corp, produces and sells product in its home (US) market, and in a foreign market. There is inherent risk in the revenues collected from the foreign market due to volatility in the exchange rate. Under a benchmark strategy, all of the production takes place in the home country. The resulting expected profits for Caleb Corp are variable, due to variation in the exchange rate. As an approximation, the firm has estimated profits for five possible ranges of the exchange rate, with profit represented as a lottery, L= (.2, 150; .2, 200; .3, 220; .2,250; .1, 270) The probabilities are estimated probabilities for the different ranges. The outcomes in this lottery are the estimated final profit levels (not changes in profit). (a) Calculate the expected profit if the firm follows this benchmark strategy, i.e., E(L)

The outcomes in this lottery are the estimated final profit levels (not changes in profit). Now suppose the firm can also buy forward contracts on foreign currency to neutralize the effect of the exchange rate on profits. Assume that these provide complete hedging, but that it involves an additional cost, so that following the…
The car manufacturer Edison is the sole producer of electric cars in the market, selling to two different types of customers. All else equal, travelers (type t) prefer batteries that go longer distances between charges and are willing to pay for this luxury. Urban drivers (type u) do not require as great a battery. Edison knows the willingness-to-pay of each type, and that there are q percent of type ts in the market. The willingness-to-pay for each type for different battery sizes are, Vt(k = 100) = $160, 000, Vt(k = 60) = $80, 000, Vu(k = 100) = $100, 000, Vu(k = 60) = $60, 000, where k is the battery life in kilowatt hours (kWh). Producing 60 kWh battery costs $30,000, which is half the cost of a 100 kWh battery. (a) Edison showroom salesmen believe they can perfectly identify (1st/3rd-degree) which type of buyer walks through the door. Find the profit-maximizing prices (pi) and battery sizes (ki). What is Edison’s average profit per customer? (b) It turns out Edison salesmen are…

The U.S. government wants to determine whether immigrants should be tested for a contagious disease, and it is planning to base this decision on financial considerations. Assume that each immigrant who is allowed to enter the United States and has the disease costs the country $100,000. Also, assume that each immigrant who is allowed to enter the United States and does not have the disease will contribute $10,000 to the national economy. Finally, assume that x percent of all potential immigrants have the disease. The U.S. government can choose to admit all immigrants, admit no immigrants, or test immigrants for the disease before determining whether they should be admitted. It costs T dollars to test a person for the disease, and the test result is either positive or negative. A person who does not have the disease always tests negative. However, 10% of all people who do have the disease test negative. The government’s goal is to maximize the expected net financial benefits per…
The shrinking rainy day fund. On October 5 2015 The Boston Globe published a story headlined "state's rainy day fund has dwindled over the past decade" that said (in part): In the summer of 2007, before the massive recession began, the rainy day fund had $2.3 billion --a cushion of about 7.8 percent of total state spending, according to the Taxpayers Foundation. This summer the rainy day balance stood at $1.1 billion--about 2.7 percent of total state spending, a fraction small enough to raise a red flag for analysis. What is the percentage change in total state spending between the summer of 2007 and this past summer?
