A 5-year Treasury bond has a 4.45% yield. A 10-year Treasury bond yields 6.4%, and a 10-year corporate bond yields 8.4%. The market expects that inflation will average 2.25% over the next 10 years (IP10 = 2.25%). Assume that there is no maturity risk premium (MRP = 0), and that the annual real risk-free rate, r*, will remain constant over the next 10 years. (Hint: Remember that the default risk premium and the liquidity premium are zero for Treasury securities: DRP = LP = 0). A 5-year corporate bond has the same default risk premium and liquidity premium as the 10-year corporate bond described above. What is the yield on this 5-year corporate bond?

SAMMI Manufacturing has two divisions. Division A makes a part with the following characteristics: Production capacity in units 15,000 units Selling price to outside customers .. Variable cost per unit........ £25 £18 £60,000 Total fixed costs Division B, of the same company, would like to purchase 5,000 units of the part each period from Division A. Division B is now purchasing these parts from an outside supplier at a price of £24 each. Suppose that Division A has ample idle capacity to handle all of Division B's needs without any increase in fixed costs and without cutting into sales to outside customers. If Division B continues to purchase parts from an outside supplier rather than from Division A, the company as a whole will be: a. b. C. d Better off by £15,000 each period. Worse off by £10,000 each period. Worse off by £30,000 each period. Worse off by £35,000 each period.

Edgerron Company is able to produce two products, G and B, with the same machine in its factory. The following information is available. Product G Product B Selling price per unit $ 200 $ 230 Variable costs per unit 85 138 Contribution margin per unit $ 115 $ 92 Machine hours to produce 1 unit 0.4 hours 1.0 hours Maximum unit sales per month 650 units 250 units The company presently operates the machine for a single eight-hour shift for 22 working days each month. Management is thinking about operating the machine for two shifts, which will increase its productivity by another eight hours per day for 22 days per month. This change would require $11,500 additional fixed costs per month. (Round hours per unit answers to 1 decimal place. Enter operating losses, if any, as negative values.)
