<span>Economically valuable materials such as diamonds, tin, and platinum are associated with sand and gravel.
There is no way that oil and natural gas, evaporative salts, and manganese nodules affect the creation of diamonds, platinum and tin, whereas sand and gravel do. The formation of sand and gravel is quite important for the "birth" of these materials, given that they need suitable conditions to form.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

to survive today, organizations need to be present in both the online and physical markets

Explanation:

So far Amazon has dominated the online space when it comes to buying products and services. But the scenario in the question makes it clear that having only one channel open to customers (online) is not sufficient.

It is necessary to diversify by having physical stores in addition to online stores.

Some consumers for example will want to examine what they are buying before paying, others will not have the patience to wait for delivery of goods. So the physical store will serve these segments of customer's.

Bond J has a coupon of 7.6 percent. Bond K has a coupon of 11.6 percent. Both bonds have 12 years to maturity and have a YTM of

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Bond J has a coupon of 7.6%

Bond K has a coupon of 11.6%

12 years to maturity and YTM of 8.2%

first we must determine the current market price of both bonds using the yield to maturity formula:

YTM = {C + [(FV - PV) / n]} / [(FV + PV) / 2]

YTM = 8.2%
C = coupon payment = $76 and $116
FV = face value or value at maturity = $1,000
PV = present value or current market value = ???
n = 12 years

current market value of Bond J:

0.082 = {76 + [(1,000 - PV) / 12]} / [(1,000 + PV) / 2]

[(1,000 + PV) / 2] x 0.082 = 76 + [(1,000 - PV) / 12]

41 + 0.041PV = 76 + 83.33 - 0.083PV

0.124PV = 118.33

PV = 118.33 / 0.124 = $954.27

current market value of Bond K:

41 + 0.041PV = 116 + 83.33 - 0.083PV

0.124PV = 158.33

PV = 158.33 / 0.124 = $1,276.85

a. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2.2 percent, what is the percentage price change of these bonds?

YTM = {C + [(FV - PV) / n]} / [(FV + PV) / 2]

YTM = 8.2% + 2.2% = 10.4%
C = coupon payment = $76 and $116
FV = face value or value at maturity = $1,000
PV = present value or current market value = ???
n = 12 years

market value of Bond J:

0.102 = {76 + [(1,000 - PV) / 12]} / [(1,000 + PV) / 2]

[(1,000 + PV) / 2] x 0.102 = 76 + [(1,000 - PV) / 12]

102 + 0.051PV = 76 + 83.33 - 0.083PV

0.134PV = 157.33

PV = 57.33 / 0.134 = $427.84

market value of Bond K:

102 + 0.051PV = 116 + 83.33 - 0.083PV

0.134PV = 97.33

PV = 97.33 / 0.134 = $726.34

Bond J's market price will decrease by ($427.84 - $954.27) / $954.27 = -55.17%

Bond K's market price will decrease by ($726.34 - $1,276.85) / $1,276.85 = -43.11%

b. If interest rates suddenly fall by 2.2 percent, what is the percentage price change of these bonds?

YTM = {C + [(FV - PV) / n]} / [(FV + PV) / 2]

YTM = 6%
C = coupon payment = $76 and $116
FV = face value or value at maturity = $1,000
PV = present value or current market value = ???
n = 12 years

current market value of Bond J:

0.06 = {76 + [(1,000 - PV) / 12]} / [(1,000 + PV) / 2]

[(1,000 + PV) / 2] x 0.06 = 76 + [(1,000 - PV) / 12]

30 + 0.030PV = 76 + 83.33 - 0.083PV

0.113PV = 129.33

PV = 129.33 / 0.113 = $1,144.51

current market value of Bond K:

30 + 0.030PV = 116 + 83.33 - 0.083PV

0.113PV = 169.33

PV = 169.33 / 0.113 = $1,498.50

Bond J's market price will increase by ($1,144.51 - $954.27) / $954.27 = 19.94%

Bond K's market price will increase by ($1,498.50 - $1,276.85) / $1,276.85 = 17.36%
