The provided statement is true.

<h3>What is a fallacy?</h3>

Sliva [168]

The convexity of the bond is 61.810 and the duration of the bond is 7.330 years.                                                                                                      

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • A newly issued bond has a maturity of 10 years. It pays a 7.7% coupon rate. The coupon payments will receive each year. Using the coupon payments the year will be reduced.
  • The maturity year will get reduced. So the duration of the bond is approximately 7.330 years. If the bond is sold at par value the convexity can be calculated using the number of years.
  • So the convexity of the bond is 61.810.

The returns on the Bledsoe Small-Cap Fund are the most volatile of all the mutual funds offered in the 401(k) plan. Why would yo
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The yields are perhaps the most unpredictable for the small cap fund since the securities in this account are the most risky. It does not mean that the fund is awful, only that the danger is greater, and thus the overall return is greater.If you are prepared to accept the extra risk in expectancy of a greater return, you should like to put money in this fund. The increased costs for this Fund will be anticipated.Small cap funds typically have higher spending due largely to greater operating costs, along with lower resource analysis.

Today, you deposit $2,500 of cash in a savings account that earns 8.0% in annualized interest. One interest payment is received
Artemon [7]

Answer:

a. $173

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of interest earned in five years is shown below;

But before that following calculations need to be done

As we know that

Simple interest = Present value × rate of interest × time period

= $2,500 × 8% × 5

= $1,000

Now the future value is

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

= $2,500 ×(1 + 8%)^5

= $2,500 × 1.4693280768

= $3,673

Now the compound interest is

Compound interest = Future value - Present value

= $3,673 - $2,500

= $1,173

Now interest on interest is

Interest on interest = Compound interest - Simple interest

= $1,173 - $1,000

= $173

A company is selling bonds with a face value of $1,000 to raise money for a plant expansion. The bonds pay a coupon rate of 4% p
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

10.26%

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Net sales = $760

Face value of bonds = $1,000

Coupon rate = 4% = $1,000 × 4 ÷ 100

= 40

N = Number of Years = 5 annually = semiannually = 5 × 2

= 10 years

We assume, interest rate = 10% = 0.10

P = Coupon Rate ÷ 2 × (PVIFA,Interest Rate ÷ 2%,No. of Years) + Future Value(PVIF,Interest Rate ÷ 2%, No. of Years)

=$40 ÷ 2 × [1 - 1 ÷ (1 + Interest Rate)N] ÷ Interest Rate + Future Value[1 ÷ (1 + Interest Rate) × N]

=$40 ÷ 2 × [1-1 ÷ (1 + 0.10 ÷ 2)^10] ÷ 0.05 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ (1 + 0.10 ÷ 2)^10]

=$20 × [1 - 1 ÷ (1.05)^10] ÷ 0.05 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ (1.05)^10]

=$20 × [1 -1 ÷ 1.6288946] ÷ 0.05 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ 1.6288946]

= 420 × 7.72173 + $1,000 × 0.613913

= $154.4346 + $613.913

= $768.3476

= $768.35

But the given value is 760, so we assume interest rate = 11%

=$40 ÷ 2 × [1-1 ÷ (1 + Interest Rate)^N] ÷ Interest Rate + Future Value[1 ÷ (1 + Interest Rate)^N]

= $40 ÷ 2 × [1 - 1 ÷(1 + 0.11 ÷ 2)^10] ÷ 0.055 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ (1 + 0.11 ÷ 2)^10]

= $20 × [1 - 1 ÷ (1.055)^10] ÷ 0.055 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ (1.055)^10]

= $20 × [1 - 1 ÷ 1.70814446] ÷ 0.055 + $1000 × [1 ÷ 1.70814446]

= $20 × 7.5376255 + $1,000 × 0.5854306

= $150.75 + $585.43

= $736.18

At the Interest rate of 10% the price is more than $760 and at the Interest rate of 1% the price is less than $760. So the required rate lies in between 10% to 11%.

So required rate  

Yield To Maturity = Lower Interest Rate + (Difference Between Interest Rate) × Higher Price - Received Price ÷ Higher Price - Lower Price

= 1 0+( 11 - 10) × $768.35 - $760 ÷ $768.35 - $736.18

= 10 + 1 × $8.35 ÷ $32.17

= 10 + 0.26

= 10.26%
