I need help with these three problems.

Discuss the four capital ratios depository institutions must calculate and monitor under Basel III.

What is the value of a 28-year, 4.3% coupon rate, $1,000 face value bond with annual coupon payments, if similar bonds (same maturity, same risk profile) are trading at a yield to maturity of 7.6%? Round to the nearest cent.

1. A call option has an exercise price of $40. The stock price is currently $36 and the appropriate interest rate is 6%. The option expires in exactly one year and the return variability of underlying asset is 0.50 or 50%. This is the standard deviation of the return series. How much would you pay for this call option?
2. At expiration the stock underlying the option is selling for $41.00. What do you do? What is your loss or gain?

A $1,000 face value has a 8% annual coupon rate. The next coupon is due in one year and the bond matures in 11 years. The current YTM on the bond is 4.8%. What is the dollar value of the price change if the bond's YTM increases to 5.6%? Round to the nearest cent. ​[Hint: 1) If the price drops, the change is a negative number. 2) Do not compute duration. You can calculate the precise impact of a yield change on the bond's price by comparing the prices under the two scenarios.]

An Apple annual coupon bond has a coupon rate of 6.8%, face value of $1,000, and 4 years to maturity. If its yield to maturity is 6.8%, what is its Macaulay Duration? Answer in years, rounded to three decimal places.

A manufacturer is considering a switch from manufacturers’ representatives to an internal sales force. The following cost estimates are available. Manufacturers’ reps are paid 8.1% commission and incur $600,000 in fixed costs, while an internal sales force has fixed costs projected at $1,900,000 and would receive 2.6% commission. Assume that sales revenue is double the breakeven volume or the point at which the manufacturer would be indifference between reps and an internal sales force. At this volume, how much would the manufacturer save, assuming the company had switched to an internal sales force? Report your answer in dollars.

St. Johns River Shipyards' welding machine is 15 years old, fully depreciated, and has no salvage value. However, even though it is old, it is still functional as originally designed and can be used for quite a while longer. The new welder will cost $184,500 and have an estimated life of 8 years with no salvage value. The new welder will be much more efficient, however, and this enhanced efficiency will increase earnings before depreciation from $29,000 to $69,000 per year. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the project cost of capital is 11%. Should the old welder be replaced by the new one? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign.
