McCue Inc.’s bonds currently sell for $1,250 (price).  They pay a $120 annual coupon, have a 15-year maturity, and a $1,000 par value, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,050 (call price).  Assume that no costs other than the call premium would be incurred to call and refund the bonds, and also assume that the yield curve is horizontal, with rates expected to remain at current levels on into the future. What is the difference between this bond’s YTM and its YTC?  (Subtract the YTC from the YTM.)

Jane holds a large diversified portfolio of 100 randomly selected stocks and the portfolio’s beta = 1.2.  Each of the individual stocks in her portfolio has a standard deviation of 20 percent.  Jack has the same amount of money invested in a single stock with a beta equal to 1.6 and a standard deviation of 20 percent.  Which of the following statements is most correct?

Harper Corp.’s sales last year were $395,000, and its year-end receivables were $42,500. Harper sells on terms that call for customers to pay 30 days after the purchase, but many delay payment beyond Day 30. On average, how many days late do customers pay? Base your answer on this equation: DSO – Allowed credit period = Average days late, and use a 365-day year when calculating the DSO.

Lindley Corp.’s stock price at the end of last year was $33.50, and its book value per share was $25.00. What was its market/book ratio?

A bond has an annual 11 percent coupon rate, an annual interest payment of $110, a maturity of 20 years, a face value of $1,000, and makes annual payments.  It has a yield to maturity of 8.83 percent.  If the price is $1,200, what rate of return will an investor expect to receive during the next year assuming no change in the interest rates?

The risk-free rate, rRF, is 6 percent and the market risk premium, (rM – rRF), is 5 percent.  Assume that required returns are based on the CAPM. Your $1 million portfolio consists of $700,000 invested in a stock that has a beta of 1.2 and $300,000 invested in a stock that has a beta of 0.8.  Which of the following statements is most correct? (Hint: One way is to calculate portfolio beta to make inference on portfolio required return via CAPM)

Stock A has a beta of 1.5 and Stock B has a beta of 0.5.  Which of the following statements must be true about these securities?  (Assume the market is in equilibrium.) (Hint: The expected return is given by the SML equation)
