Explanation / Answer

1.If a bond's coupon rate is less than its yield to maturity, the the bond will sell __________. B.at a price less than its face value

Mears Corporation just paid a dividend of $4.45. The company forecasts a constant growth rate in dividends of 8 percent. If the appropriate discount rate is 14 percent, what is the current price of this stock

Answer: $80

We can find stock price using Gordon Growth model,

Value of stock = D1/ (k - g)
where:
D1 = next year's expected annual dividend per share
k = Approproate discount rate
g = the expected dividend growth rate

=(4.45*(1+8%))/(14%-8%)

Current Stock price=$80

3. If the supply of loanable funds decreases then all else equal __________.

interest rates will increase

The yield to maturity of a bond is the discount rate that makes the present value of the coupon and principal payments

equal to the price of the bond

interest rates will increase
