Answer:

Current price = $20.50

Explanation:

Data provided in the question;

Growth rate, g = 20% = 0.2 for the 2 years

Growth rate, g' = 15% = 0.15 for the following 2 years

after 4 years annual dividend = $3

Last dividend paid, D0 = $1

Required rate of return, r = 12% = 0.12

Now,

D1 = D0 × (1 + g)

= $1 × (1 + 0.2)

= $1.2

D2 = $1 × (1 + 0.2)²

D3 = $1 × (1 + 0.2)² × (1 + 0.15)

D4 = $1 × (1 + 0.2)²  × (1 + 0.15)²

D5 = 3

Therefore,

Current price = \frac{1.2}{(1 + 0.12)} + \frac{\$1\times(1 + 0.2)^2}{(1 + 0.12)^2} + \frac{\$1\times(1 + 0.2)^2\times(1 + 0.15)}{(1 + 0.12)^3} + \frac{\$1\times(1 + 0.2)^2\times(1 + 0.15)^2}{(1 + 0.12)^4} + \frac{\frac{\$3}{0.12}}{(1+0.12)^4}

⇒ Current price = $20.50

You are considering a 10-year, $1,000 par value bond. Its coupon rate is 8%, and interest is paid semiannually. If you require a
Schach [20]

Answer:

$1,061.28

Explanation:

We need to calculate the present value of the bond using the minimum effective rate of 7.1225%

First we calcualte the present value of an annuity of $80 for 10 years

C * \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

80 * \frac{1-(1+7.1225%)^{-10} }{7.1225%} = PV\\

PV = $558.72

Then we calculate the $1,000 in 10 years present value

\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time}}= PV

\frac{1,000}{(1 + 7.1225%)^{10} } = PV

PV =  $502.57

Then we add both values

$502.57 + $558.72 = $1,061.28

This will be the present value AKA market price which yields the minimun rate of 7.1225%

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

185,023,041

Explanation:

Given,

The original population of the country, P = 110 million,

Growth rate, r = 2% = 0.02,

Number of years from 2011 to 2037,

Time, t = 26 years,

Hence, the projected population would be,

A=Pe^{rt}

=110e^{0.02\times 26}

=110 e^{0.52}

=185.023041467\text{ million }

=185023041.467

\approx 185023041
