Question

Intro You bought a 10-year zero-coupon bond with a face value of $1,000 and a yield to maturity of 3.1% (EAR). You keep the bond for 5 years before selling it. Attempt 1/5 for 10 pts. Part 1 What was the price of the bond when you bought it? Part 2 What is the rate of return (HPR) if the yield to maturity is 4.9% when you sell the bond? Part 3 What is the rate of return (HPR) if the yield to maturity is 1.9% when you sell the bond?

Part 1

To find the price of the bond when you bought it, we can use the present value formula for zero-coupon bonds:

PV = \frac{FV}{(1 + r)^n}

where PV is the present value, FV is the face value, r is the yield to maturity (as a decimal), and n is the number of years.

By substituting the given values into the formula, we can find the price of the bond:

PV=736.91

Answer: The price of the bond when you bought it was $736.91

Part 2

To find the rate of return (HPR) when the yield to maturity is 4.9%, we need to calculate the selling price of the bond and compare it to the price at which it was bought.

Using the present value formula again, this time with a new yield to maturity of 4.9%, we can find the selling price of the bond after holding it for 5 years:

PV=787.27

The rate of return (HPR) is then given by:

HPR = \frac{\text{Selling Price} - \text{Purchase Price}}{\text{Purchase Price}} \times 100

Substituting the values, we find:

HPR=\frac{787.27-736.91}{736.91\}

Answer: The rate of return (HPR) is approximately 6.83% when the yield to maturity is 4.9%.

CASE 6-1: PREPARE A PRODUCTION PLAN: WHAT PROBLEMS ARRIVE? Midwest Plastics Company has conducted profit planning for several years. The president stated (with justification) that inventory control and planning had not been satisfactory, which was mainly due to poor planning of production and inventory budgets. Please analyze and provide recommendations, in detail, on the issue regarding the 20B profit plan, which is now being prepared. Their analysis and recommendations will be presented to the executive committee. Despite the seasonality factor, the sales department has been successful in developing a sales plan, on a monthly basis, for each year. The following sales data is available for 20B. 1. Sales plan summary for 20B: 2. Finished goods inventory, as of January 1, 20B, is 96,000 units. 3. Work-in-process inventory will remain constant. 4. Actual annual sales in 20A, including the estimate for December, were 350,000 units. 5. The average finished goods inventory during 20A was 70,000 units. IT IS REQUESTED. 1. Prepare the annual production budget, assuming that management policy is to budget ending finished goods inventory at a standard quantity, based on the ratio of historical sales of 20A to inventory turnover. 2. Prepare a schedule showing sales, production, and inventory levels for each month, assuming: 1) stable inventory, 2) stable production, and 3) recommended inventory-production levels. In developing your recommendations, assume that the following policies have been established: a) The president has set the policy that a maximum inventory of 85,000 units and a minimum inventory of 75,000 units should be used, except in abnormal circumstances. b) A stable level of production is definitely preferred, except that during the holiday season in July and August, production may be reduced by 25 percent. Likewise, a variation in production of 7.5 percent above and below the average level is acceptable. 3. What are the main problems faced by the company in production planning?
