Question

"Vaughn Corporation is considering the issue of commercial paper and would like to know the yield it should offer on its commercial paper. The corporation believes that a 0.2 percent credit risk premium, a 0.1 percent liquidity premium, and a 0.3 percent tax adjustment are necessary to sell its commercial paper to investors. Furthermore, annualized T-bill rates are 7 percent. Based on this information, Vaughn should offer ____ percent on its commercial paper."

Answer 1

7.6 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Vaughn should offer 7.6 percent on its commercial paper.

This is calculated by adding the 0.2 credit risk premium to 0.1 percent liquidity premium + 0.3 percent tax adjustment + 7 percent annualized t bills rate.

= 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 + 7

= 7.6

Based on this Vaughn would offer 7.6 percent on its commercial paper.
