Use these assumptions. Inflation is 5%. The Rod Serling bank pays 4.5% interest on checking compounded monthly, and 6% interest on savings compounded annually. You are in the 22% marginal tax bracket. Use equations 5.2 through 5.5 on page 98 & 99. A) What is the APY for checking accounts at the Rod Serling bank? B) What is the RAPY for savings accounts at the Rod Serling bank? C) Suppose I own a gas station that has assets worth $250,000, and owes $100,000 on a bank loan and has 10,000 shares of stock outstanding. Based on these factors alone, what is a rational price per share? (Use equation 6.1) D) Use Equation 6.2 to answer the following. For my gas station that has 10,000 shares sold to random investors, suppose I promise to pay $1 annual dividend and the prevailing market interest rate is 5%. What would be the rational market price for my stock based entirely on these factors?
Your current bank is paying 6.25% simple interest rate. You can move your savings account to Harris Bank that pays 6.25% compounded annually or to First Chicago bank paying 6% compounded semi-annually. To maximize your return you would choose: A. Harris Bank B. you are indifferent, because the effective interest rate for all three banks is the same. OC. your current bank OD. First Chicago bank
Bank A pays 2% interest compounded annually on deposits, while Bank B pays 1.75% compounded daily. a. Based on the EAR (or EFF%), which bank should you use? I. You would choose Bank A because its EAR is higher. II. You would choose Bank B because its EAR is higher. III. You would choose Bank A because its nominal interest rate is higher. IV. You would choose Bank B because its nominal interest rate is higher. V. You are indifferent between the banks and your decision will be based upon which one offers you a gift for opening an account. I b. Could your choice of banks be influenced by the fact that you might want to withdraw your funds during the year as opposed to at the end of the year? Assume that your funds must be left on deposit during an entire compounding period in order to receive any interest. II I. If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the compounding period (1 year for Bank A and 1 day for Bank B), and you think there is a high probability that you will make a…
In a discount interest loan, you pay the interest payment up front. For example, if a 1-year loan is stated as $42,000 and the interest rate is 8.50%, the borrower “pays” 0.0850 × $42,000 = $3,570 immediately, thereby receiving net funds of $38,430 and repaying $42,000 in a year. a. What is the effective interest rate on this loan? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. What is the effective annual rate on a 1-year loan with an interest rate quoted on a discount basis of 18.50%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
