1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.
PV * (1 + S1) = FV
1 + S1 = 1000 / 900
S1 = 1.1111 - 1
S1 = 0.1111
S1 = 11.11%
1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950
Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50
950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2
950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2
1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905
(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905
1 + S2 = 1.160221/2
S2 = 7.714%
1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2
Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602
Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586
Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92
Answer:
For more than 180 minutes of phone use.
Explanation:
Let m represent number of minutes of phone use in a month.
We have been given that in Plan A, there is no monthly fee, but the customer pays $0.06 per minute of use.
The cost of using m minutes in plan A would be .
We are also told that in Plan B, the customer pays a monthly fee of $4.80 and then an additional $0.03 per minute of use.
The cost of using m minutes in plan B would be .
To find the amounts of monthly phone when Plan A will cost more than Plan B, we will set cost of plane A greater than cost of plan B as:
Let us solve for m.
Therefore, Plan A will cost more than Plan B for more than 180 minutes of phone use.
