In general, it is more expensive for a company to finance with equity capital than with debt capital because

  1. Long-term bonds have a maturity date and must therefore be repaid in the future
  2. Investors are exposed to greater risk with equity capital.
  3. Equity capital is in greater demand than debt capital
  4. Dividends fluctuate to a greater extent than interest rates

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Providers of equity capital are exposed to more risk than are lenders because the firm is not obligated to pay them a return. Also, in case of liquidation, creditors are paid before equity investors. Thus, equity financing is more expensive than debt because equity investors require a higher return to compensate for the greater risk assumed

A firm is planning to issue a callable bond with an 8% coupon rate and 10 years to maturity. A straight bond with a similar rate is priced at $1,000. If the value of the issuer's call option is estimated to be $50, what is the value of the callable bond?

  1. $1,000
  2. $950
  3. $1,050
  4. $900

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A callable bond is not as valuable to an investor as a straight bond. Thus, the $50 call option is subtracted from the $1,000 value of a straight bond to arrive at a $950 value for the callable bond.

The term `underwriting spread" refers to the

  1. Commission percentage an investment banker receives for underwriting a security issue.
  2. Discount investment bankers receive on securities they purchase from the issuing company.
  3. Difference between the price the investment banker pays for a new security issue and the price at which the securities are resold.
  4. Commission a broker receives for either buying or selling a security on behalf of an investor.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

An investment banker performs an underwriting or insurance function when it purchases an issue of securities and then resells them. The risk of price fluctuations during the distribution period is borne entirely by the investment banker. Investment banking is also an efficient vehicle for marketing the securities because investment bankers are specialists in such activities The profit earned is the underwriting spread, or the difference between the purchase and resale prices of the securities (effectively, the wholesale and retail prices).

The study package is helpful in passing your exam since the practice questions are copied from real exam. But in order to learn the modules in details you need books.
