Mandatory spending is something that either has, or is strongly urged to be done. Discretionary spending is based on the spenders discretion, if the spender thinks it needs to be spent, then they would do so. Example of mandatory spending would be paying back a loan. Example of discretionary spending would be a good business investment. Hope this helps!

Explanation:

given data

investment = $6000

receive = $6180

borrow = $6000

to find out

maximum interest rate bank needs to offer on the loan

solution

we consider here maximum interest rate bank needs to offer is = r

so value of investment will be express here as

value of investment = amount to be borrowed × ( 1 + r ) ................1

put here value we get rate r

6180 = 6000 × ( 1 + r )

solve it we get

rate = 0.03

maximum interest rate = 3%

Answer:

The answer is basic research.

Explanation:

The research and development department conducted managed to answer the research question which was conceptualized in the beginning of research, as implied in the question. However, no further research was conducted for the purpose of designing a product that can be sold to the Gen Z market segment, based on the findings from the previous ones.

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 7.3 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has three

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Sam change: -5.13%

Dave change -18.01%

Explanation:

If interest rate increase by 2%

then the YTM of the bond will be 9.3%

We need eto calcualte the present value of the coupon and maturity of the bond at this new rate:

For the coupon payment we use the formula for ordinary annuity

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

Coupon payment: 1,000 x 7.3% / 2 payment per year: 36.50

time 6 (3 years x 2 payment per year)

YTM seiannual: 0.0465 (9.3% annual /2 = 4.65% semiannual)

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-6} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $187.3546

For the maturity we calculate usign the lump sum formula:

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

Maturity: $ 1,000.00

time: 6 payment

rate: 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{6} } = PV$

PV 761.32

Now, we add both together:

PV coupon $187.3546 + PV maturity $761.3154 = $948.6700

now we calcualte the change in percentage:

948.67/1,000 - 1 = -0.051330026 = -5.13

For Dave we do the same:

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

C 36.50

time 40

rate 0.0465

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-40} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $657.5166

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

Maturity 1,000.00

time 40.00

rate 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{40} } = PV$

PV 162.34

PV c $657.5166

PV m $162.3419

Total $819.8585

Change:

819.86 / 1,000 - 1 = -0.180141521 = -18.01%
