You Answered orrect Answer A company is promising a coupon payment of $46 in 2.03 years. A risk free government bond of the same maturity is yielding 1.66% per year. The credit spread for the promised payment by the company is 1.24% per year. Both the yield and the spread are stated on a continuously compounded basis. What is the present value of the expected loss on the promised payment? 1.11 margin of error +/-50
Assume you expect a company’s net income to remain stable at $3500 for all future years, and you expect all earnings to be distributed to stockholders at the end of each year, so that common equity also remains stable for all future years (this also assumes a clean surplus). Also, assume the company’s β = 1.3, the market risk premium is 5% and the 10-year yield on risk-free government bonds is 5%. Finally, assume the company has 1300 ordinary shares outstanding. Required: a) Use the CAPM to estimate the company’s equity cost of capital. b) Compute the expected net distributions to stockholders (dividends) for each future year.
16) Suppose Bank is trading share at 17$ today. The company pays dividend of 0.25. The analysts claimed that in one year, target price will be 32$. What is the expected return?
Suppose there is a large probability that L will default on its debt. For the purpose of this example, assume that the value of Ls operations is 4 million (the value of its debt plus equity). Assume also that its debt consists of 1-year, zero coupon bonds with a face value of 2 million. Finally, assume that Ls volatility, , is 0.60 and that the risk-free rate rRF is 6%.

b. Suppose you are considering two possible investment opportunities: a 12-year Treasury bond and a 7-year, AA-rated corporate band. The current real risk-free rate is 5%, and inflation is expected to be 2% for the next 2 years, 3% for the following 4 years, and 4% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated by this formula: MRP = 0.03 (t-1) %. The liquidity premium (LP) for the corporate bond is estimated to be 0.2%. You may determine the default risk premium (DRP), given the company's bond rating, from the following table. Remember to subtract the bond's LP from the corporate spread given in the table to arrive at the bond's DRP. Rate 0.83% 1.03 1.35 1.73 Corporate Bond Yield Spread = DRP + LP U.S. Treasury AAA corporate 0.20% AA corporate 0.52 A corporate 0.90 What yield would you predict for each of these two investments?
