Q

The buyer of a forward contract will gain when prices increase because the buyer has a lower purchased price (contract price) than the price at which the contracted asset can be sold after the price increase. The seller of a forward contract will lose when the price increases because the seller has agreed to sell at a lower price than the price of the asset after the price increase. Also, obviously, if the buyer gains, the seller must lose.

Q

Fixed costs and variable cost per unit must be estimated from the data using the high-low method. Total costs can then be estimated using the following equation: y = a + b(x), where y = total costs, a = fixed costs, b = variable cost per unit, and x = number of kilos.

Q

A callable bond, as the name implies, gives the issuing firm the right to buy back (call) the bonds, but has no effect on the market value of the bonds. In fact, it is a changing (decreasing) market value that may cause the issuing entity to call the bonds.

19
Q

Zero-coupon bonds do not have “coupons” (a detachable instrument redeemable periodically for interest) and do not pay periodic interest. Rather than paying periodic interest, the investor in zero-coupon bonds acquires then at a discount (often a deep discount) from face value and, at maturity, receives fair value plus accumulated interest.

Q

A convertible bond, as the name implies, can be converted by the holders (investors) into other securities, normally into common stock, but does not cause the bonds to maintain a constant value. In fact, the convertible feature may cause the value of the bonds to increase or decrease as the value of the instrument into which the bonds are convertible increases or decreases.

21
Q

Floating-rate bonds are most likely to maintain a constant market value. The rate of interest paid on floating-rate bonds (also called variable-rate bonds/debt) varies with the changes in some underlying benchmark, usually a market interest rate benchmark (e.g., LIBOR or the Fed Funds Rate). Because the interest rate changes with changes in the market rate of interest, they maintain a relatively stable (constant) market value.
