Chapter 17, Problem 13PS
MM proposition 2 Hubbard’s Pet Foods is financed 80% by common stock and 20% by bonds. The expected return on the common stock is 12% and the rate of interest on the bonds is 6%. Assuming that the bonds are default-risk-free, draw a graph that shows the expected return of Hubbard’s common stock (rE) and the expected return on the package of common stock and bonds (rA) for different debt–equity ratios.

- Calculating the risk premium on bonds The text presents a formula where (1+1) = (1-p)(1 +i+x) + p(0) where i is the nominal interest rate on a riskless bond x is the risk premium p is the probability of default (bankruptcy) If the probability of bankruptcy is zero, the rate of interest on the risky bond is When the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is 8% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 3%, the probability of bankruptcy is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) When the probability of bankruptcy is 6% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 4%, the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) When the probability of bankruptcy is 11% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 4%, the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) The formula assumes that payment upon default is zero. In fact, it is often positive.

OC. a term-structure curve. 5- O D. an interest-rate curve. Suppose people expect the interest rate on one-year bonds for each of the next four years to be 3%, 6%, 5%, and 6%.
