Lunar coast Incorporated issued BBB bonds two years ago that provided a yield to maturity of 12.5
percent. Long-term risk-free government bonds were yielding 8.5 percent at that time. The current
risk premium on BBB bonds versus government bonds is half of what it was two years ago. If the riskfree long-term government bonds are currently yielding 7.8 percent, then at what rate should Lunar
coast expect to issue new bonds

Answer:

"9.80%" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Yield to maturity,

= 12.5%

Risk free gov. bond,

= 8.5%

Long terms gov. bond,

= 7.8%

Now,

The current speed between bonds such as BBB as well as government will be:

= [tex]\frac{12.5-8.5}{2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex]

= [tex]2.00 \ percent[/tex]

hence,

The expected rate will be:

= [tex]7.8+2.00[/tex]

= [tex]9.80 \ percent[/tex]

To increase productive capacity, a company is considering a proposed new plant. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. When estimating the project's operating cash flows, it is important to include both opportunity costs and sunk costs, but the firm should ignore the cash flow effects of externalities since they are accounted for in the discounting process. b. Since depreciation is a non-cash expense, the firm does not need to deal with depreciation when calculating the operating cash flows. c. The cost of capital used to discount cash flows in a capital budgeting analysis should be calculated on a before-tax basis. d. Capital budgeting decisions should be based on before-tax cash flows. e. In calculating the project's operating cash flows, the firm should not deduct financing costs such as interest expense, because financing costs are accounted for by discounting at the cost of capital. If interest were deducted when estimating cash flows, this would, in effect, "double count" it.

Before negotiating a long-term construction contract, build- ing contractors must carefully estimate the total cost of completing the project. Benzion Barlev of New York University proposed a model for total cost of a long-term contract based on the normal distribution(Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, July 1995). For one particular construction contract, Barlev assumed total cost, x, to be normally distributed with mean $850,000 and standard deviation $170,000. The revenue, R, promised to the contractor is $1,00,000.

Required:
a. The contract will be profitable if revenue exceeds total cost. What is the probability that the co ntract will be profitable for the contractor?
b. What is the probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor?
c. Suppose the contractor has the opportunity to renegotiate the contract. What value of R should the contractor strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit?

Roland, Inc. provides residential painting services for three home building companies, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, and it uses a job costing system for determining the costs for completing each job. The job cost system does not capture any cost incurred by Roland for return touchups and refinishes after the homeowner occupies the home. Roland paints each house on a square footage contract price, which includes painting as well as all refinishes and touchups required after the homes are occupied. Each year, Roland generates about one-third of its total revenues and gross profits from each of the three builders. Roland has observed that the builders, however, require substantially different levels of support following the completion of jobs. The following data have been gathered:Major refinishes Hours on job $70
Touchups Number of visits $180
Communication Number of calls $20
Builder Major Refinishes Touchups Communication
Alpha 80 150 360
Beta 35 110 205
Gamma 42 115 190
(a) Assuming that each of the three customers produces gross profits of $100,000, calculate the profitability from each builder after taking into account the support activity required for each builder.

Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium Suppose Lorenzo and Neha are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Lorenzo chooses Right and Neha chooses Right, Lorenzo will receive a payoff of 6 and Neha will receive a payoff of 5
Neha
Left Right
Lorenzo Left 8,4 4,5
Right 5,4 6,5
1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for (Neha/Lorenzo) to choose (Right/Left)
2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses (Right/Left) and Neha chooses (Right/Left) .

You are the manager for a Pizza restaurant. Currently, your restaurant pre-makes pizzas that are ordered the most to increase the number of pizzas being made on time for your customers. Over time, many customers have complained that their pizzas were cold upon delivery and not fresh, requesting refunds or remakes of their pizza. Your location is losing money from these wasteful practices, therefore, you want to create a Kanban based on the following basic principles:

1. A later process tells an earlier process when new items are required. This means that unless a customer orders a pizza, no pizzas will be made. Pull!
2. The earlier process produces what the later process needs.
3. No Items can be made without a Kanban card (order request). This allows the process to be transparent so everyone knows what is going on.
4. Defects are not passed on to the next stage.Create a Kanban board for your pizza company that delivers. You must have 4-6 columns with headings for each.

Required:
Decide what your Kanban cards will represent. Set Rules for your Kanban.

A bank loan officer has been approached by a start-up company that needs a five-year loan to purchase the equipment for its first project. The project will have a life of five years. At the end of five years, the equipment will be worthless. The founders of the company told the loan officer that they would be willing to pay a much higher interest rate on a simple interest loan rather than contracting to an add-on interest loan.
A. The loan officer should offer the company an add-on interest loan because there is a high risk that the company will not be able to repay the principal on the loan at the end of the project's life.
B. The loan officer should offer the company a simple interest loan. The bank will make more money in the long run, because it can charge a much higher interest rate.
