For a firm with debt, what is the formula for the present value of interest tax shields if the tax shields occur in perpetuity?

You may assume:

• the value of debt (D) is constant through time,
• The cost of debt and the yield on debt are equal and given by $r_D$.
• the appropriate rate to discount interest tax shields is $r_D$.
• $\text{IntExp}=D.r_D$

A bond maturing in 10 years has a coupon rate of 4% pa, paid semi-annually. The bond's yield is currently 6% pa. The face value of the bond is $100. What is its price? A young lady is trying to decide if she should attend university.

Let $p_0$ be the current price, $p_1$ the expected price in one year and $c_1$ the expected income in one year. A firm wishes to raise$10 million now. They will issue 6% pa semi-annual coupon bonds that will mature in 3 years and have a face value of $100 each. Bond yields are 5% pa, given as an APR compounding every 6 months, and the yield curve is flat. How many bonds should the firm issue? Question 625 dividend re-investment plan, capital raising Which of the following statements about dividend re-investment plans (DRP's) is NOT correct? Alice, Bob, Chris and Delta are traders in the futures market.

Chris buys a future from Delta. 3. Delta buys a future from Alice. These were the only trades made in this equity index future. What was the trading volume and what is the open interest? The phone company Optus have 2 mobile service plans on offer which both have the same amount of phone call, text message and internet data credit. Both plans have a contract length of 24 months and the monthly cost is payable in advance. The only difference between the two plans is that one is a: • 'Bring Your Own' (BYO) mobile service plan, costing$80 per month. There is no phone included in this plan. The other plan is a:
• 'Bundled' mobile service plan that comes with the latest smart phone, costing $100 per month. This plan includes the latest smart phone. Neither plan has any additional payments at the start or end. Assume that the discount rate is 1% per month given as an effective monthly rate. The only difference between the plans is the phone, so what is the implied cost of the phone as a present value? Given that the latest smart phone actually costs$600 to purchase outright from another retailer, should you commit to the BYO plan or the bundled plan?
