Yield to maturity and yield to call

Kaufman Enterprises has bonds outstanding with a $1,000 face value and 10 years left until maturity. They have an 12% annual coupon payment, and their current price is $1,175. The bonds may be called in 5 years at 109% of face value (Call price = $1,090).

  1. What is the yield to maturity? Round your answer to two decimal places.
    %
  2. What is the yield to call if they are called in 5 years? Round your answer to two decimal places.
    %
  3. Which yield might investors expect to earn on these bonds? Why?
    1. Investors would expect the bonds to be called and to earn the YTC because the YTC is less than the YTM.
    2. Investors would expect the bonds to be called and to earn the YTC because the YTM is less than the YTC.
    3. Investors would expect the bonds to be called and to earn the YTC because the YTC is greater than the YTM.
    4. Investors would not expect the bonds to be called and to earn the YTM because the YTM is greater than the YTC.
    5. Investors would not expect the bonds to be called and to earn the YTM because the YTM is less than the YTC.

    -Select-IIIIIIIVV
  4. The bond's indenture indicates that the call provision gives the firm the right to call the bonds at the end of each year beginning in Year 5. In Year 5, the bonds may be called at 109% of face value; but in each of the next 4 years, the call percentage will decline by 1%. Thus, in Year 6, they may be called at 108% of face value; in Year 7, they may be called at 107% of face value; and so forth. If the yield curve is horizontal and interest rates remain at their current level, when is the latest that investors might expect the firm to call the bonds?

Production of the implants will require $1,520,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 20 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $4,000,000 per year, variable production costs are $147 per unit, and the units are priced at $329 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $18,900,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as 7-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 25 percent of its acquisition cost. The company is in the 22 percent marginal tax bracket and has a required return on all its projects of 16 percent. MACRS schedule.

Prompt: Optimum portfolio combines investments – Please write a paper about optimizing investments in a portfolio. Global investing needs to be included. Many foreign stock and bond investments provide superior rates of return compared with U.S. securities. They have low correlations with U.S. stock and bond portfolios (Chapter 3). Discuss how the inclusion of foreign securities in a portfolio will help to reduce the overall risk of the portfolio and, in fact, may increase the rate of return to the portfolio.

Problem 16-14
Cash Budgeting

Dorothy Koehl recently leased space in the Southside Mall and opened a new business, Koehl's Doll Shop. Business has been good, but Koehl frequently run out of cash. This has necessitated late payment on certain orders, which is beginning to cause a problem with suppliers. Koehl plans to borrow from the bank to have cash ready as needed, but first she needs a forecast of how much she should borrow. Accordingly, she has asked you to prepare a cash budget for the critical period around Christmas, when needs will be especially high.

Sales are made on a cash basis only. Koehl's purchases must be paid for during the following month. Koehl pays herself a salary of $4,300 per month, and the rent is $2,100 per month. In addition, she must make a tax payment of $14,000 in December. The current cash on hand (on December 1) is $400, but Koehl has agreed to maintain an average bank balance of $5,500 - this is her target cash balance. (Disregard the amount in the cash register, which is insignificant because Koehl keeps only a small amount on hand in order to lessen the chances of robbery.)

The estimated sales and purchases for December, January, and February are shown below. Purchases during November amounted to $130,000.

Sales Purchases
December $170,000 $45,000
January 30,000 45,000
February 62,000 45,000
  1. Prepare a cash budget for December, January, and February.

  2. Suppose Koehl starts selling on a credit basis on December 1, giving customers 30 days to pay. All customers accept these terms, and all other facts in the problem are unchanged. What would the company's loan requirements be at the end of December in this case? (Hint: The calculations required to answer this part are minimal.)

    3. These percentages change over time because even though the total payment is constant the amount of interest paid each year is declining as the balance increases.
    4. These percentages change over time because even though the total payment is constant the amount of interest paid each year is increasing as the balance increases.
    5. These percentages do not change over time; interest and principal are each a constant percentage of the total payment.
