公司金融学题库 1.设某酒厂有一批新酿的好酒,如果现在(假设 t=0 )就售出,总收入为 R0 元。如果窖藏起来待来日按陈酒价格出售, t 年末总收入为 R=R0e ,假定银行的年利率为 r=0.06,并以连续复利计息,试计算窖藏多少年售出可使总收入的现值最大? 2. 某公司拟购置一处房产,房主提出三种付款方案: (1)、从现在开始,每年年初支付20万,连续支付10次,共200万元 (2)、从第五年开始,每年年末支付25万元,连续支付10次,共250万元 (3)、从第五年开始,每年年初支付24万元,连续支付10次,共240万元 假设该公司的资金成本率为百分之10,你认为该公司应选哪个方案? (1)P=A×[(P/A,i,n-1)+1]=20*((P/A,10%,9)+1)=20*(5.759+1)=135.18 2)P=A×(P/A,i,n)×(P/F,i,m)=25*(P/A,10%,10)*(P/F,10%,5) =25*6.1446*0.6209=95.3796 3)P=A×(P/A,i,n)×(P/F,i,m)=24*(P/A,10%,10)*(P/F,10%,4) =24*6.1446* 0.6830 =100.7223 选择第二种

3.A企业20×2年4月1日购买某公司20×1年1月1日发行的面值为10万元,票面利率8%,期限5年,每半年付息一次的债券,若此时市场利率为10%。 (1)求该债券的价值? (2)若该债券此时市价为94000元,是否值得购买? (3)如果20×5年1月1日,市价为97000元,计算20×5年1月1日债券的到期收益率 1、该债券价值: 10*0.6209+0.4*7.722=9.2978(万元) 2、若该债券此时市价为94000元,高于其价值,故不值得购买。 3、如果2020×5年1月1日,市价为97000元: 97000=10/(1+x)+0.4/(1+x/2)+0.4/((1+x/2)*(1+x/2)) 解得: x=11.57% 所以, 20×5年1月1日债券的到期收益率为11.57% 4.某公司 20x7 年有关数据如下:实现的税后净利为 1000 万元,资产总额为 5000 万元,资 产负债率为 40%,发行在外的普通股数为 500 万股,市净率为 4(市净率 =每股市价 /每股净
