A 6.75 percent coupon bond with 13 years left to maturity can be called in two years. The call premium is one year of coupon payments. It is offered for sale at $919.75. What is the yield to call of the bond? Assume interest payments are paid semi-annually and par value is $1,000.

Answer:

YTC = 14.23%

Explanation:

the yield to call formula is:

YTC = {coupon payment + [(call price - market price) / n]} / [(call price + market price) / 2]

YTC = {$33.75 + [($1,067.50 - $919.75) / 4]} / [($1,067.50 + $919.75) / 2]

YTC = ($33.75 + $36.94) / $993.63 = 0.0711 x 2 (semiannual coupon) = 0.1423 = 14.23%

The Excellent Agency specializes in developing advertising campaigns for smaller retail clients. Excellent is hired by Shadowleaf Shoes, a small regional chain of six shoe stores, to develop a slogan and specific ads to be used in a three-month newspaper campaign. Shadowleaf’s marketing director, Manuel Margolis, is adamant while meeting with Excellent's account executive, Kia Chin, that the campaign must be catchy and modern to appeal to a target audience that has an active lifestyle and is between the ages of 18 and 35. More importantly, Margolis wants the slogan to be memorable and unique. Kia Chin, representing Excellent, develops a campaign and presents it to Margolis. The campaign is based on the slogan "Do What You Do in a Shadowleaf Shoe." Visuals depict men’s legs—different sizes, skin colors, etc.—walking, jogging, dancing, and otherwise moving in every type of Shadowleaf’s shoes. Margolis feels that this campaign will target young male consumers, but will also get the attention of others regarding the comfort of the shoes, raising awareness of the Shadowleaf brand. After running the ads, the Excellent Agency wins an advertising effectiveness award. It seems that the surprising and appealing visuals gave the slogan unexpectedly positive social meaning for people of all ages, not just men aged 18 to 35. When Manuel Margolis insists on a measuring stick for the creativity of the campaign, what will the Xcellent Agency tell him, if Kia Chin is smart?
A. "The award alone proves that this ad is loaded with creativity."
B. "If people like the ad, they’ll buy the product."
C. "We met the technical standards for this advertising effort."
D. "Great brands do more than just get attention, they make emotional connections."

Superior Micro Products uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. During January, the Delta Assembly Department completed its processing of 26,800 units and transferred them to the next department. The cost of beginning work in process inventory and the costs added during January amounted to $662,560 in total. The ending work in process inventory in January consisted of 4,000 units, which were 50% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The costs per equivalent unit for the month were as follows:
Materials Labor Overhead
Cost per equivalent unit $12.70 $4.00 $6.60
Required:1. Compute the equivalent units of materials, labor, and overhead in the ending work in process inventory for the month.2. Compute the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, labor, overhead, and in total for January.3. Compute the cost of the units transferred to the next department for materials, labor, overhead, and in total for January.4. Prepare a cost reconciliation for January.

The value of a share of common stock depends on the cash flows it is expected to provide, and those flows consist of the dividends the investor receives each year while holding the stock and the price the investor receives when the stock is sold. The final price includes the original price paid plus an expected capital gain. The actions of the marginal investor determine the equilibrium stock price. Market equilibrium occurs when the stock's price is -Select-less thanequal togreater thanCorrect 1 of Item 1 its intrinsic value. If the stock market is reasonably efficient, differences between the stock price and intrinsic value should not be very large and they should not persist for very long. When investing in common stocks, an investor's goal is to purchase stocks that are undervalued (the price is -Select-abovebelowequivalent toCorrect 2 of Item 1 the stock's intrinsic value) and avoid stocks that are overvalued.
The value of a stock today can be calculated as the present value of -Select-a finitean infiniteCorrect 3 of Item 1 stream of dividends:
This is the generalized stock valuation model. We will now look at 3 different situations where we can adapt this generalized model to each of these situations to determine a stock's intrinsic value:
1. Constant Growth Stocks;
2. Zero Growth Stocks;
3. Nonconstant Growth Stocks.
Constant Growth Stocks:
For many companies it is reasonable to predict that dividends will grow at a constant rate, so we can rewrite the generalized model as follows:
This is known as the constant growth model or Gordon model, named after Myron J. Gordon who developed and popularized it. There are several conditions that must exist before this equation can be used. First, the required rate of return, rs, must be greater than the long-run growth rate, g. Second, the constant growth model is not appropriate unless a company's growth rate is expected to remain constant in the future. This condition almost never holds for -Select-maturestart-upCorrect 4 of Item 1 firms, but it does exist for many -Select-maturestart-upCorrect 5 of Item 1 companies.
Which of the following assumptions would cause the constant growth stock valuation model to be invalid?
The growth rate is zero.
The growth rate is negative.
The required rate of return is greater than the growth rate.
The required rate of return is more than 50%.
None of the above assumptions would invalidate the model.

Quantitative Problem 1: Hubbard Industries just paid a common dividend, D0, of $1.60. It expects to grow at a constant rate of 2% per year. If investors require a 10% return on equity, what is the current price of Hubbard's common stock? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
$ per share
Zero Growth Stocks:
The constant growth model is sufficiently general to handle the case of a zero growth stock, where the dividend is expected to remain constant over time. In this situation, the equation is:
Note that this is the same equation developed in Chapter 5 to value a perpetuity, and it is the same equation used to value a perpetual preferred stock that entitles its owners to regular, fixed dividend payments in perpetuity. The valuation equation is simply the current dividend divided by the required rate of return.
Quantitative Problem 2: Carlysle Corporation has perpetual preferred stock outstanding that pays a constant annual dividend of $2.00 at the end of each year. If investors require an 10% return on the preferred stock, what is the price of the firm's perpetual preferred stock? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
$ per share
Nonconstant Growth Stocks:
For many companies, it is not appropriate to assume that dividends will grow at a constant rate. Most firms go through life cycles where they experience different growth rates during different parts of the cycle. For valuing these firms, the generalized valuation and the constant growth equations are combined to arrive at the nonconstant growth valuation equation:
Basically, this equation calculates the present value of dividends received during the nonconstant growth period and the present value of the stock's horizon value, which is the value at the horizon date of all dividends expected thereafter.
Quantitative Problem 3: Assume today is December 31, 2013. Imagine Works Inc. just paid a dividend of $1.15 per share at the end of 2013. The dividend is expected to grow at 15% per year for 3 years, after which time it is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% annually. The company's cost of equity (rs) is 9.5%. Using the dividend growth model (allowing for nonconstant growth), what should be the price of the company's stock today (December 31, 2013)? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
