...2. Assume that a bond will make payments every six months as shown on the following timeline (using six-month periods): (A) What is the maturity of the bond (in years)? The maturity is 10 years. (B) What is the coupon rate (in percent)? 20/1000 x 2 = 4% The coupon rate is 4%. (C) What is the face value? The face value is $1000. 4. Suppose the current zero-coupon yield curve for risk-free bonds is as follows: Maturity (years) 1 2 3 4 5 YTM 5.00% 5.50% 5.75% 5.95% 6.05% (A) What is the price per $100 face value of a two-year, zero-coupon, risk-free bond? P = 100(1.055)^2 = $89.85 (B) What is the price per $100 face value of a four-year, zero-coupon, risk-free bond? P = 100/(1.0595)^4 = $79.36 (C) What is the risk-free interest rate for a five-year maturity? 6.05% 10. Suppose a seven-year, $1000 bond with an 8% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading with a yield to maturity of 6.75%. (A) Is this bond currently trading at a discount, at par, or at a premium? Explain. The bond is trading at a premium because the yield to maturity is less than the coupon rate. (B) If the yield to maturity of the bond rises to 7% (APR with semiannual compounding), what price will the bond trade for? 40/(1+.035)+40/(1+.035)^2+40+1000/(1+.035)^14 = $1,054.60 22. Consider a five-year, default-free bond with annual coupons...

...Goals of Financial Mgmt Page 1 Goals of Financial Management Name FIN/200 Introduction to Finance Date Instructor School Goals of Financial Mgmt Page 2 As stated in the Foundations of Financial Management (1) the primary goal of financial managers is to maximize the wealth of the shareholders. A shareholder invests money in a business with the expectation of receiving some type of profit in the future. Earnings are valued by the market price of the company’s common stock and taken into consideration is how the earnings are valued by the investor. The stock price is a direct reflection of the firm’s investment, financing, and dividend decisions. These duties are performed on a day to day basis and include credit management, inventory control, and the receipt and allocation of funds. Other functions can include the sale of stocks and the structuring of budgets and dividend plans. (2) In order to have share prices increase investing money in generating assets such as new production plants, product development, or marketing activities is necessary. Value is only created with the investment returns more of a financial yield than the original output of cash. Maximization of the shareholder’s wealth is achieved by reaching for the highest possible value for the firm. The higher the net income the more the stock prices increase. Management is now aware that maintaining their position requires sensitivity...

...makes sense? HAIDER SADIK Mgmt. Policy, Rl June 30, 1995 The diversification into financial services may best be looked at as a reflex of the Benetton entrepreneurial sensibility to seek out profitable opportunities while addressing the long-term impact of global changes on its existing business. With the developed nations reaching saturation levels in industrial growth, and the developing markets experiencing a capital investment boom, the Benetton subcontractor network, primarily in Italy and Europe, will eventually get incapacitated based on cost competition. Thus, a critical element of the Benetton textile retail business will eventually go under. To hedge against this risk, Benetton would have to establish relationships with suppliers in the Asian and other emerging markets. The big difference now, however, is that the balance of power would shift more in favor of these subcontractors, who will be more competitive, making it harder to negotiate exclusive contracts and exert control on as before. Thus, a key ingredient for maintaining rapport with piece-makers would be owning shares in several of these firms located globally while helping the subcontractors with equipment and machine supply. And once the Benettons have a vested interest in these firms, they would like to monitor and exert financial control over them. The above scenario is sufficient for re-focusing the business strategy to diversify into investment banking, corporate finance, brokerage houses, and leasing...

...1. In theory, to fund an increased dividend payout or a stock buyback, a firm might invest less, borrow more, or issue more stock. Which of these three elements is Eastboro management willing to vary, and which elements remain fixed as a matter of policy? Management is willing to vary their investment (investing less) as well as issue more stock. This is not against their policy. But the management would not be willing to borrow more as their borrowing policy is limited to 40% debt to equity ratio. 2. What happens to Eastboro's financing need and unused debt capacity if , a. No dividends are paid? If no dividend are paid, the company does not need financing required for the dividends. Hence the company’s financing needs decreases. If the company pays 40% dividend, they need to borrow $30 million in 2001 and if no dividend is paid, they only need to borrow $23 million. Hence the unused debt capacity also increases if no dividend is paid. b. 20 percent payout is pursued? If 20% dividend payout policy is pursued, the amount needed for dividend would be $3.6 million as opposed to $7 million (with a 40% payout). The company requires less financing and hence the financing needs decreases as opposed to a 40% dividend payout. Also the unused debt capacity would decrease as the company needs to borrow $26.6 million as opposed to $30 million (with a 40% payout). c. 40 percent payout is pursued? If 40% dividend policy is pursued, the financing needs of...

...Running Head: FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Financial Management MGMT 312 Financial Management Businesses must have a plan to succeed; if the original plan is not a success, there must be a few alternative plans available. First, the roles of a financial manager will be discussed. Second, a scenario was given to find a future value during a five year time frame and the results will be discussed. Finally, risk contracting will be evaluated including the various financial incentive structures and how they could be used to improve the efficiency of care in risk contracts. First, the roles of a financial manager will be discussed. As a manger, one is required for “effective risk management” (Farley, 2000). “More desirable options include growth, structuring incentives to reduce or eliminate unnecessary variation in resource use, and capturing information about why variations in resource use occur,” (Farley, 2000). Farley explains that larger organizations have more options than smaller businesses because it allows more room for risks (2000). A financial manager should be capable of strategic planning. Benoff mentions in 2000 that the strategic planning should consider, “a variety of market approaches before settling on a specific future market strategy.” Benoff (2000) strongly believes, “to account for the needs and perspectives of all stakeholders, therefore the strategic –planning...

...SOME OF THE IFMIS APPLICATION SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS Introduction The original version of this document has been developed by a consultant firm (CJSC Avicomp Services, Russia) as an annex to the System Design report prepared during the design of Public Financial Management System (PFMS) in Moldova for the Ministry of Finance (MoF) in December 2005. The purpose of this study was to better understand the capabilities of some of the application software (ASW) modules (commercial-off-the-shelf software packages) in order to assess the level of customization needed to meet the MoF technical requirements while implementing an integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) in Moldova. This study shows that all ASW solutions can provide the desired core Treasury (budget execution) functions with minimal customization. Additional PFM functions can be supported through custom developed software and be integrated with these software packages to provide the full PFMS functionality. In 2006, the MoF kindly agreed to share this annex with other public sector organizations and related specialists for their internal use while designing or studying the PFM systems. This document is intended to present the functional modules of several available ASW solutions which were implemented in similar projects in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region of the World Bank. A summary of PFMS functions vs modules of selected ASW is presented below: • • • FreeBalance eFinancials Oracle E-Business Suite...

...University of phoenix | Interpreting Financial Results | MGMT-571 FINANCE | | Mario Medina | 3/11/2014 | | Financial ratios play a key role in determining how a company is doing financially either for the good or the bad. Financial Ratios can be used internally or externally to determine how financially stable a company is. For this assignment we will use three common ratios to determine how financially stable and how Under Armour is over the last three years. Current Ratio “To calculate the current ratio, we divide current assets by current liabilities. More liquidity is better because it means that the firm has a greater ability, at least in the short term, to make payments” (Parrino, Kidwell, & Bates, 2012). Below is a breakout of UA’s three year current ratio. Current Ratio=Current Assets/Current Liabilities * 2011:689,663/183,607=3.76 * 2012:903,598/252,228=3.58 * 2013:1,128,811/426,630=2.65 For any company no matter the industry no one wants a current ratio less than one because this suggests that the company has more liabilities than assets meaning that in the short run they will be more likely not able to pay their debts. UA from 2011 to 2012 had a pretty steady ratio on average around 3.7 meaning that they have 3.7 times more assets that liabilities means that in the short run they will be able to meet any debt they should have. From 2012 to 2013 there current ratio did decrease to 2.65 because they did add more current liabilities...
