The 5.3 percent bond of Dominic Cyle Parts has a face value of $1,000, a maturity of 12 years, semiannual interest payments, and

givi [52]

Answer:

$936.17

Explanation:

The current market price of the bond = present value of all coupon received + present value of face value on maturity date

The discount rate in all calculation is YTM (6.12%), and its semiannual rate is 3.06%

Coupon to received semiannual = 5.3%/2*$1000= $26.5

We can either calculate PV manually or use formula PV in excel to calculate present value:

<u>Manually:</u>

PV of all coupon received semiannual = 26.5/(1+3.06)^1 + 26.5/(1+3.06)^2....+ 26.5/(1+3.06)^24 = $445.9

PV of of face value on maturity date = 1000/(1+6.12%)^12 = $490.27

<u>In excel:</u>

PV of all coupon received semiannual = PV(3.06%,24,-$26.5) = $445.9

PV of of face value on maturity date = PV(6.12%,12,-$1000) = 1000/(1+6.12%)^12 = $490.27

The current market price of the bond = $445.9 + $490.27 = $936.17

A 30-year maturity bond making annual coupon payments with a coupon rate of 8.5% has duration of 12.88 years and convexity of 23

marin [14]

Answer:

a. Predicted Price = $1815.52

b. Predicted Price = $1,834.64

c. Predicted Price = $1425.4

Explanation:

The actual price of the bond as a function of yield to maturity is:

Yield to maturity --- Price

7% $1,620.45

8% $1,450.31

9% $1,308.21

Using the Duration Rule, assuming yield to maturity falls to 6%:

Predicted price change = (-D/(1 + y)) * ∆y * Po

Where D = Duration = 12.88 years

y = YTM = 7%

∆y = 6% - 7% = -1%

Po = $1,620.45

So, Predicted Change = (-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * -0.01 * 1,620.45

Predicted Change = 195.0597757009345

Predicted Change = $195.06 ----- Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 + $195.06

= $1815.52

Using Duration-with-Convexity Rule, assuming yield to maturity falls to 6%

Predicted price change

= [(-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * (-0.01) + (½ * 235.95 * (-0.01²))] * 1,620.45

= 214.1770345759345

= $214.18 ------ Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 + $214.18

= $1,834.64

Using the Duration Rule, assuming yield to maturity rise to 8%:

Predicted price change = (-D/(1 + y)) * ∆y * Po

Where D = Duration = 12.88 years

y = YTM = 7%

∆y = 8% - 7% = 1%

Po = $1,620.45

So, Predicted Change = (-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * 0.01 * 1,620.45

Predicted Change = -195.0597757009345

Predicted Change = -$195.06 ----- Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 - $195.06

= $1425.4

Degger [83]

Answer:

difference between supplies = $4.68

Explanation:

cost of merchandise from manufacturer if paid within discount period:

$1,200 x (1 - 40%) = $720

$720 x (1 - 10%) = $648

freight cost = $648 x 2.5% = $16.20

discount for early payment = $648 x 2% = $12.96

total cost = $651.24

cost of merchandise from wholesaler if paid within discount period:

$1,200 x (1 - 40%) = $720

$720 x (1 - 8%) = $662.40

discount for early payment = $648 x 1% = $6.48

total cost = $655.92

difference between supplies = $4.68
