Financial Management Returns and Bonds Ratings Assignment 1.
You have just won the Strayer Lottery jackpot of $11,000,000. You will be paid in 26 equal annual installments beginning immediately. If you had the money now, you could invest it in an account with a quoted annual interest rate of 9% with monthly compounding of interest. What is the present value of the payments you will receive? •
When I looked at the problem like Dr. Black said in the Monday recording, I was about to do this problem wrong. After watching the video, you have to get the effective annual rate first. I did use excel to so my work because it makes doing the math so much easier. The table below show you the effective annual rate and what the monthly payment would be to get the present value of the money I receive. Looking at the numbers after doing the calculations and listening to the comments from Dr. Black and my other classmates, If I did win the lottery, give me the lump sum up front. You have just won the Strayer Lottery jackpot of $11,000,000. You will be paid in 26 equal annual installments beginning immediately.

In your own words and using various bond websites, locate one of each of the following bond ratings: AAA, BBB, CCC, and D. Describe the differences between the bond ratings. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of each rating. •
AAA Bond Rating: Is the highest rating a bond can receive. A bond rating is like a credit report for companies. Companies with and AAA bond rating are easily able pay their bills and are least likely to default. Depending on the credit agency the AAA rating vary. A few are AAA, AA+, AA, Aaa, Aa and so on. The full list of AAA rating can be found on a scale by either Standards and Poor’s (S&P) or Moody’s. A strength to having this bond rating is that your company is considered investment grade and that there is low risk if someone wants to invest in your company. I would have to say a weakness of AAA rating would be that there may
be pressure put on a company to maintain their bond rating. If the company would ever fall below it would show investors that the company is having issues paying their debts. An example of a company with an Aaa bond rating is Johnson & Johnson. •
BBB Bond Rating: Is amongst the highest-level bond rating a company can receive. As I said above bond ratings are like a credit report for companies. According to the scale for Moody’s and S&P, only the first three BBB rating are investment grade. If a company received a Ba1 or BB+ or falls down on the scale to this, the company is considered non-investment grade with higher risks. Companies with BBB rating below are considered investment grade only: ¨
Baa1, Baa2, Baa3 ¨
BBB+, BBB, BBB- A strength to having the top three of the BBB bond rating is that your company is considered investment grade and that there is low risk if someone wants to invest in your company. A weakness of the top three BBB bond rating would be that there is defiantly some level of pressure put on a company to maintain their bond rating because if they fall below its not a good look for their investors. Additional, if they fall below their investors interest rating may change. An example of a company with a Baa2 is Erste Group Bank AG and a B1 rating is Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. •
CCC Bond Rating: Is a bond rating that represents an extremely high risk for investment. They are also known as junk bonds or non-investment bonds. Companies with these bond ratings have a hard time getting investments. By offering higher retunes than investment grade level bonds they are able to appeal to some investors. A strength of having this bond rating is high risk for the company and its investors for sure but could potentially offer high returns. A weakness of CCC bond ratings is that in the event of an economic crisis is that investors will seek to sell to protect their assets. An example of a Caa2 rated bond is Rite Aid Corp. •
D Bond Rating: Is the lowest bond rating. It had that highest degree of risk when it comes to investments. Companies with these rating are considered in default. They have not made payments on their obligations past due dates. Companies with theses rating are likely to file for bankruptcy. With this rating this kind of rating I can’t find a strength and the company is as low as it can already possibly get with bankruptcy. An example of a D bond is Toys R Us. Reference:
