Expert Solution

1) Computation of Annual Payment using PMT Function in Excel:

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

Here,

PMT = Annual Payment = ?

Rate = 6%

Nper = 20 years

PV = $250,000

FV = 0

Substituting the values in formula:

=pmt(6%,20,-250000,0)

PMT or Annual Payment = $21,796.14 or $21,796

So, the correct option is D "$21,796".

 

 

 

2) Computation of Current Stock Price for ConsGrough:

Current Stock Price = Next Year Expected Dividend / (Required Rate of Return - Growth Rate)

= $6.24/(7%-4%)

= $6.24/3%

Current Stock Price = $208

So, the correct option is C "$208.00".

 

 

3) Computation of Standard Deviation:

Average Returns = Total Returns/Total Time Period

= (5%+7%+9%)/3

Average Return (Mean) = 7%

 

Return (Return-Mean)^2
5% 0.040%
7% 0.000%
9% 0.040%
  0.080%

Standard Deviation = [Total (Return-Mean)^2/(Time Period-1)]^(1/2)

=[0.080%/(3-1)]^(1/2)

=0.0004^(1/2)

Standard Deviation = 2%

So, the correct option is A "0.02 or 2%".

 

4) Computation of Expected Return for Security A:

Expected Return for Security A = Risk-free Rate+Beta*Market Risk Premium

Expected Return for Security A = Risk-free Rate+Beta*(Expected Return on the Market-Risk-free Rate)

= 4% + 1.3*(11%-4%)

= 4% + 1.3*7%

= 4% + 9.1%

Expected Return for Security A = 13.1% 

So, the correct option is A "13.1%".

 

 

5) Calculation of Accumulate Value or Amount:

Amount = Principal*(1+Interest Rate/Number of Periods)^Number of Periods

= $1,000*(1+12%/12)^12

= $1,000*1.1268

Amount = $1,126.83

So, the correct option is B "$1,126.83".

 

 

6) Computation of Present Value using PV Function in Excel:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)

Here,

PV = Present Value = ?

Rate = 11%

Nper = 5 years

PMT = $30

FV = 0

Type = 1 (at the beginning) 

Substituting the values in formula:

=-pv(11%,5,30,0,1)

PV or Present Value = $123.08

So, the correct option is B "$123.08".

 

 

 

7) Computation of Bond's Market Price using PV Function in Excel:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)

Here,

PV = Bond's Market Price = ?

Rate = 6%

Nper = 10 years

PMT = $1,000*5% = $50

FV = $1,000

Type = 0

Substituting the values in formula:

=-pv(6%,10,50,1000,0)

PV or Present Value = $926.40

So, the correct option is A "$926.00". The difference is due to rounding off figure.

 

 

 

8) Computation of Future Value of Ordinary Annuity using FV Function in Excel:

=fv(rate,nper,-pmt,pv)

Here,

FV = Future Value of Ordinary Annuity = ?

Rate = 4% 

Nper = 5 years 

PMT = $2,000

PV = 0

Substituting the values in formula:

=fv(4%,5,-2000,0)

FV or Future Value of Ordinary Annuity = $10,832.65 or $10,832

So, the correct option is C "$10,832".
