what is the bank discount rate on a $100,000 face value t-bill priced at $97,500, maturing in 181 days?

1 answer:

6 0

In this instance, the answer is 4.97%. When Bank discount rate is $100,000.The bank discount rate is calculated as follows: face value - price /face value * 360/days to maturity

the formula for determining the bank rate of return is as follows

When we apply relevant information to the equation, we receive:

Bank discount rate = 100,000 97,500/ 100,000 *360/ 181 = 0.0497 = 4.97

Why is the bank discount generate not a realistic assessment of the refund on holding a Treasury bonds?

Because it is an annual rate rate of return based on the par value of the bills rather than the actual dollar amount of money invested, and it is calculated on a 360-day rather than a 365-day basis, the Discount Yield can be a misleading measure of the return on T-Bills (used for Treasury bonds and notes).

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a.38%

b. No because the margin is above the requirement at 38%

c.-150%

Explanation:

1000 shares*$40 per share = 40000

margin requirement is 50% so equity = 20000

1 year later price increase to 50

$1000 shares*$50 per share = 50000

dividend = $2*1000 = 2000

margin = 20000/52000 = 38%

No because the margin is above the requirement at 38%

Price of 1000 stock year 1 at 50$/share = 50000

40000 – 50000 = -10000

Rate of return = (-10000 -20000)/20000 = -150%

A father and mother are planning a savings program to put their daughter through college. Their daughter is now 8 years old. She

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$4,102.57

Explanation:

we must first calculate the future costs of college:

cost of college year 1 = $16,200 x (1 + 2%)¹⁰ = $19,747.71

cost of college year 2 = $19,747.71 x 1.02 = $20,142.66

cost of college year 3 = $20,142.66 x 1.02 = $20,545.51

cost of college year 4 = $20,545.51 x 1.02 = $20,956.42

in order to determine how much money does the family need to have before college starts we must discount the cost of college by 7.5%:

PV cost of college year 1 = $19,747.71

PV cost of college year 2 = 20,142.66 / 1.075 = $18,737.36

PV cost of college year 3 = $20,545.51 / 1.075² = $17,778.70

PV cost of college year 4 = $20,956.42 / 1.075³ = $16,869.09

total = $73,132.86

the future value of the grandmother's deposits:

$13,000 x (1 + 7.5%)¹⁴ = $35,781.77

$2,900 x (1 + 7.5%)¹² = $6,907.16

total = $42,688.93

that means that you will need to save $73,132.86 - $42,688.93 = $30,443.93 by the time your child turns 18

you will make 4 deposits and their future value will be:

deposit x 1.075¹⁰ = 2.0610D

deposit x 1.075⁹ = 1.9172D

deposit x 1.075⁸ = 1.7835D

deposit x 1.075⁷ = 1.6590D

total = 7.4207D

yearly deposit = $30,443.93 / 7.4207 = $4,102.57

The nominal exchange rate is .80 euros per dollar and the real exchange rate is 4/3. Which of the following prices for a particu

Svetach [21]

Answer:

option (C) $5 in the U.S. and 3 euros in Italy

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Nominal exchange rate, E = 0.80 euros per dollar

Real exchange rate = $\frac{4}{3}$

Now,

Real exchange rate = [ Price of good in US ] ÷ [ Price of Good in Italy ]

= $\frac{EPU}{PI}$

Here,

PU = Price of US in dollars

PI = Price of Italy in Euros

Thus,

Real exchange in rate

$\frac{4}{3}$ = $\frac{0.8PU}{PI}$

$\frac{PU}{PI}$ = $\frac{5}{3}$

hence,

we get

Ratio of Price of a good in US to Price of a Good in Italy = $\frac{5}{3}$

we can say $5 in the U.S. and 3 euros in Italy

option (C) $5 in the U.S. and 3 euros in Italy

34kurt

Answer:

Negative, since to purchase more of one good means giving up some of the other good.

Explanation:

A budget line illustrates the number of goods, consumers are able to buy with lower income. Thus the price of goods and customers income to be spent on goods determine the budget line.

The slope of the budget line measures the opportunity cost of consuming Commodity A forgetting Commodity B. In order to get more of Commodity A, the consumer will have reduce the consumption of Commodity B Forefeiting the opportunity to consume Commodity B is the true opportunity cost of Commodity A and this measured by the slope of the budget line.

The slope of the budget line shows the amount of a commodityB the consumer must forfeit to purchase one more unit of a commodity A and the slope is usually Negative.
