Chapter 6, Problem 11PROB
Summary Introduction

Bond SC has a face value of $1,000 and an annual interest rate of 9% paid semi-annually, it matures in 4 years with current market price of a) 851 and b) 1105.

Yield to maturity (YTM) of a bond is the required rate of return expected on holding the bond till maturity. When the YTM of the bond is higher than the coupon value, the bond is said to be trading at a discount and when it is lower than the coupon value, then the bond is trading at a premium.

YTM calculation is a trial and error process, however, we can calculate YTM using a financial calculator as follows:

INT = PMT = coupon amount

FV = M = maturity value

PV = Price of the bond (input as a negative value)

N = number of periods

Scenario one: Under what circumstances would it be appropriate for a firm to use different cost of capital for its different operating divisions? If the overall firm WACC was used as the hurdle rate for all divisions, would the riskier division or the more conservative divisions tend to get most of the investment projects? Why? If you were to try to estimate the appropriate cost of capital for different divisions, what problems might you encounter? What are two techniques you could use to develop a rough estimate for each division’s cost of capital?
Scenario three: If a portfolio has a positive investment in every asset, can the expected return on a portfolio be greater than that of every asset in the portfolio? Can it be less than that of every asset in the portfolio? If you answer yes to one of both of these questions, explain and give an example for your answer(s). Please Provide a Reference
