Answer:
less desirable to other investors
Explanation:
<u>Given</u>: Current fixed coupon rate 5%
Market rate of interest 5%
New Market Rate of Interest 6%
Value of a bond is inversely related to economy interest rate or the yield to maturity (YTM). Value of a bond is expressed by the following equation:
wherein, C = Coupon rate of interest
YTM = Market Rate of Interest or interest rate in the economy or investor's expectation
n= Years to maturity
RV = Redemption value
In the given case, C = YTM i.e par value bond. When ytm rises to 6%, the value of the bond shall fall making such a bond less attractive since it represents lower coupon payments than investor expectations.
Thus, now the bond would be less desirable to other investors.
To know how much you'll have by the end of the 15th year, you need to calculate <span>the future value of an annuity as follows:
</span><span>the future value of an annuity = investment [( 1 + interest)^number of years -1)] / interest
</span>
Substituting with the givens, you can get the future value annuity as follows:
<span>the future value of an annuity = 3500 [(1+0.05)^15 -1)]/0.05
</span> = 75524.97 $
The correct choice is (b)
Answer: $1268.20
Explanation:
value of the bond today = Present value of coupon (interest) payments + present value of principal = 120[PVOAIF8%, 10] + 1000[PVIF8%, 10] =1,268
