You have $600,000 to donate to your college. You want to endow a perpetual scholarship that makes its first payment in 1 year. If the​college's discount rate is 8​%, how large will the annual scholarship payment​ be?

However, since you are calculating the payment amount ​(CF​), the formula can be rearranged​ as: CF=PV×r ​Therefore, CF=$600,000×0.08=$48,000 The annual scholarship payment will be ​$48,000.

NoGrowth Corporation currently pays a dividend of $0.55 per​ quarter, and it will continue to pay this dividend forever. What is the price per share of NoGrowth stock if the​ firm's equity cost of capital is 13.5%​?

If the dividends are paid​ quarterly, we can value them as a perpetuity using a quarterly discount rate found using the following​ formula: Equivalent n-period discount rate=(1+rE)^1/n −1 ​Therefore, Equivalent n-period discount rate =(1+0.135)^1/4 −1=0.03216 The quarterly discount rate is 3.216​%. To calculate the price per​ share, use the following​ formula: P0=Div1/rE−g ​Therefore, P0=$0.55/0.03216−0=$17.10 The stock price per share is $17.10.

What role do investment banks play in the​ economy?

Investment banks advise companies in major financial transactions such as buying or selling companies or divisions. Investment banks assist companies in raising capital by issue of stocks and bonds on behalf of corporate clients.

You are considering a car loan with a stated APR of 8​% based on monthly compounding. What is the effective annual rate of this​ loan?

Monthly interest rate=0.08/12=0.00667 The montly interest rate is 0.667​%. To calculate the effective annual​ rate, use the following​ formula: Effective annual rate=(1+Monthly interest rate)^12−1 ​Therefore, Effective annual rate=(1.00667)^12−1 =0.0830 =8.30% The effective annual rate is 8.30​%.

If the rate of inflation is 6.2%​, what nominal interest rate is necessary for you to earn a 4.1% real interest rate on your​ investment? ​(Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal​ places.)

Real Rate=Nominal Rate−Inflation Rate/ 1+Inflation Rate Nominal Rate=Real Rate×(1+Inflation Rate)+Inflation Rate Nominal rate=0.0410×1.0620+0.0620=0.1055=10.55% The nominal rate needed is 10.55%.

You have just purchased a share of stock for $21.45. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $0.65 per share in exactly one year. If you want to earn a 10.5% return on your​ investment, what price do you need if you expect to sell the share immediately after it pays the​ dividend?

Since the return on your investment must be 10.5%​, use the following formula to determine the price​ needed: R1=Div1+(P1−P0)/P0 substituting the values into this​ formula: R1=$0.65+(P1−$21.45)/$21.45=0.105 ​Therefore, P1=$21.45×0.105−$0.65+$21.45=$23.05 The selling price after the dividend would need to be $23.05.

You sit on the board of a public corporation. Your CEO has proposed taking steps to offset the carbon impact of your​ company's manufacturing process. Doing so will add to the​ company's overall expenses. Your CEO​ argues, however, that this action will actually increase the stock​ price, maximizing shareholder wealth. Why might​ socially-responsible activities also be​ value-maximizing?

Socially responsible actions are not necessarily at odds with shareholder wealth maximization. If potential customers value these actions​ highly, they will be more likely to purchase your products and may even be willing to pay more for them if doing so helps a social goal that is important to them.​ Further, some potential employees may value working for socially responsible​ firms, helping you attract the best talent.

You are considering a savings bond that will pay $100 in 12 years. If the interest rate is 2.3%​, what should you pay today for the​ bond?

The amount that you should pay today for the bond​ is: PV=C/(1+r)^n PV=$100/(1+0.023)^12=$76.12

If your bank pays you 1.7% interest and you deposit $650 today, what will be your balance in six years?

The bank balance will​ be: FV=C×(1+r)^n FV=$650×(1+0.017)^6=$719.18

You have credit card debt of $24,000 that has an APR​ (monthly compounding) of 14%. Each month you pay the minimum monthly payment. You are required to pay only the outstanding interest. You have received an offer in the mail for an otherwise identical credit card with an APR of 8%. After considering all your​ alternatives, you decide to switch​ cards, roll over the outstanding balance on the old card into the new​ card, and borrow additional money as well. How much can you borrow today on the new card without changing the minimum monthly payment you will be required to​ pay? ​(Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal​places.)

The discount rate on the original card​ is: r=APR/m ​Therefore, r=14%/12 =1.16666667% Assuming that your current monthly payment is the interest that​ accrues, it​ equals: Original monthly payment=P×r Therefore, Original monthly payment=$24,000×0.011666667 =$280.00 The new discount rate is r=8%/12 =0.66666667% ​Next, use the formula for the present value of a perpetuity to find the present value of your monthly​ payments: PV=$280.00/0.0066666667 =$42,000

What is the most important type of decision that the financial manager​ makes?

The financial​ manager's most important job is to make the​ firm's investment decisions.

You are upgrading to better production equipment for your​ firm's only product. The new equipment will allow you to make more of your product in the same amount of time.​ Thus, you forecast that total sales will increase next year by 10% over the current amount of 115,000 units. If your sales price is $24 per​ unit, what are the incremental revenues next year from the​ upgrade?

The incremental revenues are given by the​ expression: Incremental Revenues=Additional Units Sold×Price per Unit ​Therefore, Incremental Revenues =115,000 units×10%×$24 per unit =$276,000

Assume that a bond will make payments every six months as shown on the following timeline​ (using six-month​ periods): a. What is the maturity of the bond​ (in years)? b. What is the coupon rate​ (as a​ percentage)? c. What is the face​ value?

The maturity of the bond is the number of years until the issuer returns the face value to the buyer. For the case of a bond that will make payments every six​ months, the maturity is the number of payments divided by 2. The maturity of the bond is 15 years b- By rearranging the equation​ above, we come up​ with: Coupon Rate=CPN×Number of Coupon Payments per Year/Face Value ​Therefore, Coupon Rate=$22.00×2/$1,000=4.4% c- What is the face​ value? The face value is the principal of the​ bond, which has to be repaid at maturity.​ Therefore, the face value is $1,000.

Marian Plunket owns her own business and is considering an investment. If she undertakes the​ investment, it will pay $6,840 at the end of each of the next 3 years. The opportunity requires an initial investment of $1,710 plus an additional investment at the end of the second year of $8,550. What is the NPV of this opportunity if the interest rate is 2.6% per​ year? Should Marian take​ it?

The net present value of the cash flows​ is: NPV=−CF0+ CF1/(1+r)+ CF2/(1+r)^2+ CF3(1+r)^3 ​Therefore, NPV=−$1,710 +$6,840/1+0.026+ (−$1,710/(1+0.026)^2) + $6,840/(1+0.026)^3 =$9,665.30 Should Marian take​ it? ​Yes, Marian should make the investment since it has a positive NPV of $9,665.30.

Your cousin is currently 15 years old. She will be going to college in 3 years. Your aunt and uncle would like to have $130,000 in a savings account to fund her education at that time. If the account promises to pay a fixed interest rate of 5.0% per​ year, how much money do they need to put into the account today to ensure that they will have $130,000 in 3 years?

The present value of a future amount​ is: PV=FV/(1+r)^n where r is the interest rate and n is the number of periods. PV=$130,000/(1+0.050)^3=$112,298.89

The current​ zero-coupon yield curve for​ risk-free bonds is as​ follows: What is the price per $100 face value of a​ two-year, zero-coupon,​ risk-free bond?

The price of the ​zero-coupon bond is given​ by: P=FV/(1+y)^n where FV is the face​ value, y is the yield to​ maturity, and n is the number of periods​ (years). ​Therefore, P=$100/(1+0.0560)^2 =$89.68

You bought a stock one year ago for $52.00 per share and sold it today for $58.00 per share. It paid a $1.25 per share dividend today. What was your realized​ return?

The realized return from t to t ​+1 is determined by using the following​ formula: Rt+1=Divt+1+(Pt+1−Pt)/Pt where Divt+1 is the dividend​ paid, Pt is the purchase​ price, and Pt+1 is the selling price. ​Therefore, R1=$1.25+($58.00−$52.00)/$52.00=13.9%

What is the difference between a public and private​ corporation?

The shares of a public corporation are traded on an exchange​ (or "over the​ counter" in an electronic trading​ system) while the shares of a private corporation are not traded on a public exchange.

if you own 18,000 shares of stock of Nike and it pays a dividend of $0.26 per​ share, then what is the total dividend you will​ receive?

The total dividend that you will receive​ is: Dividend=Dividend per Share×Number of Shares ​Therefore, Dividend=$0.26 per share×18,000 shares=$4,680

Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.7 million machine. It will cost $56,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years and will have no salvage value. If Daily uses​ straight-line depreciation, what are the depreciation expenses associated with this​ machine?

The yearly depreciation expenses associated with this machine are equal to the purchase cost plus installation cost of the machine divided by 5 ​years: Depreciation Expenses= (Purchase Cost+Installation)/Number of Years Depreciation Expenses= ($10,700,000+$56,000)/5 years= $2,151,200 per year

What is the discount factor that is equivalent to a 12​% discount​ rate?

To calculate the discount​ factor, use the following​ formula: Discount factor=1/1+Interest rate ​Therefore, Discount factor=1/1.12=0.8929 The discount factor is 0.8929.

Ovit, Inc. has preferred stock with a price of $21.05 and a dividend of $1.64 per year. What is its dividend​ yield?

To calculate the dividend​ yield, use the following​ formula: Dividend Yield=Div1/P0 ​Therefore, Dividend Yield=$1.64/$21.05=0.078 The dividend yield is 7.8​%.

You have found three investment choices for a​ one-year deposit: 13% APR compounded​ monthly, 13% APR compounded​ annually, and 11% APR compounded daily. Compute the EAR for each investment choice.​ (Assume that there are 365 days in the​ year.) ​(Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal​ places.)

To calculate the effective annual rate ​(EAR​) from an account with 13% APR compounded​ monthly, use the following​ equation: EAR=(1+0.13/12)^12 −1=13.803% ​Therefore, the EAR=13.803%. To calculate the effective annual rate ​(EAR​) from an account with 13% APR compounded​ annually, use the following​ equation: EAR=(1+0.13/1)^1 −1=13.000% ​Therefore, the EAR=13.000%. To calculate the effective annual rate ​(EAR​) from an account with 11% APR compounded​ daily, use the following​ equation: EAR=(1+0.11/365)^365 −1=11.626% ​Therefore, the EAR=11.626%.

You expect KStreet​ Co's trade at ​$110 per share right after paying a ​$4.00 dividend per share in one year. What is the most you would pay to buy the stock now if you want to earn at least a return of 8​%?

To calculate the most you would pay to buy the​ stock, solve for P0 in the following​ formula: Return=Div1+(P1−P0)/P0 ​Therefore, 0.08=$4.00+($110−P0)/P0 0.08P0=$114.00−P0 1.08P0=$114.00 P0=$114.00/1.08=$105.56 The most you would pay to buy the stock is ​$105.56.

You just purchased a share of SPCC for ​$110. You expect to receive a dividend of ​$8 in one year. If you expect the price after the dividend is paid to be ​$122​, what toal return will you have earned over the​ year? What was your dividend​ yield? Your capital gain​ rate?

To calculate the total​ return, use the following​ formula: r=Div1+(P1−P0)/P0 ​Therefore, r=$8+($122−$110)/$110=0.1818=18.18% To calculate the dividend​ yield, use the following​ formula: Dividend yield=Dividend/P0 ​Therefore, Dividend yield=$8/$110=0.0727=7.27% To calculate the capital gain​ rate, use the following​ formula: Capital gain rate=P1−P0/P0 ​Therefore, Capital gain rate=($122−$110)/$110=0.1091=10.91%

You have a depreciation expense of $558,000 and a tax rate of 21%. What is your depreciation tax​ shield?

To determine the depreciation tax​ shield, use the following​ formula: Depreciation Tax Shield=Depreciation Expense×Tax Rate ​Therefore, Depreciation Tax Shield=$558,000×0.21=$117,180 The depreciation tax shield will be $117,180.

Krell Industries has a share price of $22.35 today. If Krell is expected to pay a dividend of $1.15 this year and its stock price is expected to grow to $24.08 at the end of the​ year, what is​ Krell's dividend yield and equity cost of​ capital?

To determine the dividend​ yield, use the following​ formula: Dividend Yield=Div1/P0 ​Therefore, Dividend Yield=$1.15/$22.35=0.051=5.1% Capital Gain Rate=$24.08−$22.35/$22.35=0.077=7.7% The capital gain rate is 7.7​%. To determine the total​ return, use the following​ formula: rE=Dividend Yield+Capital Gain Rate ​Therefore, rE=5.1%+7.7%=12.8% The total return is 12.8​%

Zoom Enterprises expects that one year from now it will pay a total dividend of $5.6 million and repurchase $5.6 million worth of shares. It plans to spend $11.2 million on dividends and repurchases every year after that​ forever, although it may not always be an even split between dividends and repurchases. If​ Zoom's equity cost of capital is 14.1% and it has 6.0 million shares​ outstanding, what is its share price​ today?

To determine the equity​ value, use the following​ formula: Equity Value=Total Payout/rE ​Therefore, Equity Value=$11.2 million/0.141=$79.43 million The equity value is $79.43 million. To calculate the price per​ share, use the following​ formula: P0=Equity Value/Number of Shares ​Therefore, P0=$79.43 million/6.0 million shares=$13.24 The price per share is $13.24.

You want to endow a scholarship that will pay $16,000 per year​ forever, starting one year from now. If the​ school's endowment discount rate is 11%​, what amount must you donate to endow the​ scholarship?

To determine the present value of the perpetuity use the following​ formula: PV=C/r where C is the cash flow and r is the interest rate. PV=$16,000/0.11=$145,454.55

Your company wants to raise ​$8.5 million by issuing 25​-year ​zero-coupon bonds. If the yield to maturity on the bonds will be 6.5% ​(annual compounded APR​), what total face value amount of bonds must you​ issue?

To determine the total face value amount of bonds to be​ issued, use the following​ formula: FV=PV×(1+r)^n where PV is the amount to be​ raised, r is the interest​ rate, and n is the number of periods. ​Therefore, FV=$8,500,000×(1+0.065)^25 =$41,035,442.42

You have an opportunity to invest $115,000 now in return for $81,200 in one year and $43,200 in two years. If your cost of capital is 9.6%​, what is the NPV of this​ investment?

To determine the​ NPV, use the following​ formula: NPV=PV (Benefits)−PV (Costs) ​Therefore, NPV=($81,200/1+0.096)+($43,200/(1+0.096)^2 −$115,000= −$4,948.85 keep negative

You have an opportunity to invest $48,900 now in return for $61,200 in one year. If your cost of capital is 8.6%​, what is the NPV of this​investment?

To determine the​ NPV, use the following​ formula: NPV=PV (Benefits)−PV(Costs) ​Therefore, NPV=$61,200/(1+0.086)−$48,900 =$7,453.59

Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.7 million machine. It will cost $56,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $4.5 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.8 million per year. If​ Daily's marginal tax rate is 21%​, what are the incremental earnings​ (net income) associated with the new​ machine?

To find the annual incremental​ earnings, use the following​ formula: Annual Incremental Earnings=(Revenues−Costs−Depreciation)×(1−Tax Rate) ​Therefore, Annual Incremental Earnings=($4,500,000−$1,800,000−($10,700,000+$56,000/5)) ×(1−0.21)=$433,552

You are a real estate agent thinking of placing a sign advertising your services at a local bus stop. The sign will cost $6,300 and will be posted for one year. You expect that it will generate additional revenue of $1,386 a month. What is the payback​ period?

To find the payback period with an annuity​ situation, use the following​ formula: Payback Period=CF0/CF ​Therefore, Payback Period=$6,300/$1,386 per month=4.5 months

Suppose you currently have $5,300 in your savings​ account, and your bank pays interest at a rate of 0.56% per month. If you make no further deposits or​ withdrawals, how much will you have in the account in four years?

We calculate the future value​ as: FV=C×(1+r)^n ​Thus, FV=$5,300×(1+0.0056)^48=$6,929.29 You will have $6,929.29 in the account in 4 ​years' time.

You have $1,300 and a bank is offering 6.5% interest on deposits. If you deposit the money in the​ bank, how much will you have in one​year?

You can exchange (1+r) dollars in the future per dollar​ today, where r is 6.5%. Use this formula to determine the amount of money you will have in one​ year: FV=PV×(1+r) FV=$1,300×(1+0.065)=$1,384.50

You expect to have $13,000 in one year. A bank is offering loans at 6.5% interest per year. How much can you borrow​ today?

You can say 1/(1+r) is the price today of one dollar in one​ year, where r is 6.5%. Use this formula to determine how much you could borrow​ today: PV=FV/1+r PV=$13,000/1+0.065 =$12,206.57

You are looking to buy a car and you have been offered a loan with an APR of 6.3%​, compounded monthly. a. What is the true monthly rate of​ interest? b. What is the​ EAR?

a- .063/12= 0.00525 b- What is the​ EAR? The EAR​ is: EAR= (1+APR/m)^m −1 EAR=(1.00525)^12 −1= 6.4851%

Assume you can earn 8.8% per year on your investments. a. If you invest $140,000 for retirement at age​ 30, how much will you have 35 years later for​ retirement? b. If you wait until age 40 to invest the $140,000​, how much will you have 25 years later for​ retirement? c. Why is the difference so​ large?

a. The future value​ is: FVn=C×(1+r)^n FV35=$140,000×(1+0.088)^35=$2,680,028 b. The future value​ is: FV25=$140,000×(1+0.088)^25=$1,153,056 c. Why is the difference so​ large? The difference is large because the compounding effect is accentuated the longer the time of investment.

What is the present value of $16,000 ​received: a. Twenty five years from today when the interest rate is 12% per​ year? b. Fifteen years from today when the interest rate is 12% per​ year? c. Eight years from today when the interest rate is 12% per​ year?

a. The present value of $16,000 received 25 years from today when the interest rate is 12% per year is​ below: PV =$16,000/(1+0.12)^25=$941 b. The present value of $16,000 received 15 years from today when the interest rate is 12% per year is​ below: PV =$16,000/(1+0.12)^15=$2,923 c. The present value of $16,000 received 8 years from today when the interest rate is 12% per year is​ below: PV=$16,000/(1+0.12)^8=$6,462

You are thinking about buying a savings bond. The bond costs ​$70 today and will mature in 16years with a value of $140. What annual interest rate will the bond​ earn?

r=(FV/P)^1/n −1 Solving for r​: r=($140/$70)^1/16 −1 =0.04427=4.427%

You have an investment opportunity that requires an initial investment of $9,000 today and will pay $12,000 in one year. What is the rate of return of this​ opportunity?

where PV is the amount you invest​ today, FV is the future value you will receive in ​n, number of​ years, and solve for ​r, the annual rate. r=(FV/PV)^1/n −1 ​Therefore, r=($12,000/$9,000) −1=33.33%

You bought a stock one year ago for $52.00 per share and sold it today for $58.00 per share. It paid a $1.25 per share dividend today. How much of the return came from dividend yield and how much came from capital​ gain?

​Therefore, R1=$1.25/$52.00=2.4% The dividend yield is 2.4%. ​Therefore, R1=($58.00−$52.00)/$52.00=11.5% The capital gain yield is 11.5​%.
