Suppose you buy a 7 percent coupon, 20-year bond today when it’s first issued. If interest rates suddenly rise to 15 percent, wh

Mariana [72]

Answer: The value of the bond will decrease

Explanation:

The Interest rate has a negative inverse relationship with the value of a bond . When the interest rate increases the value of a bond decreases and when interest rate decreases the bond value increases. Bonds with low coupon rates tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes this is known has coupon effect.

Bonds with long time frame (long term bonds), they also tend to be are more sensitive to changes in the interest rate this is known has the maturity effect. Therefore a change in the interest rate will cause a huge change in the value of a Bond with low coupon rate and long time period.

The Bond is a 20 year Bonds which qualifies it to be a long term bond and the coupon Rate is 7%, with these facts and knowing that long term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes we can conclude that the sudden increase of the interest rate to 15% will cause a huge decrease in the value of the bond

Dan, and Mike are brothers. They plan to begin savings plans when each is exactly 25. Each brother plans to save $6,000 per year

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1. How much will Dan have in his traditional IRA account at 67? Follow the proper taxation for this type of retirement account.

A) Amount available to invest after taxes per month?

$500

B) Amount in account at age 67?

$2,813,492

C) Briefly explain the taxation on withdrawals from a Traditional IRA

IRA contributions are made before income taxes are paid, that is why Dan's monthly contributions are higher. The disadvantage is that Dan's plan will be taxed later.

2. How much will Mike have in his Roth IRA at age 67? Follow the proper taxation for this type of retirement account.

A) Amount available to invest after taxes per month?

$375 until 59.5 years old, then $500

B) Amount in account at age 67

$2,072,879

c) Briefly explain the taxation on the withdrawals from a Roth IRA

Roth IRA contributions are made after income taxes are paid, that is why Mike's monthly contributions are lower. The advantage is that Mike's plan will not be taxed later.

3. If both brothers are expected to be taxed at a 20% tax rate in retirement, which retirement plan will have the best after tax results?

In this case, since the tax rate is higher while they are working (25%), than once they retire (20%), the traditional IRA account could make more sense except that since the time span is very long, your account will accumulate a lot of earned interest. The total principal invested into the traditional IRA account is $252,000 and the interest gained is $2,561,492 and that part will be taxed once you start withdrawing money. In order to determine which account would be better, you need to estimate how many years will Dan and Mike live after retiring, the longer they live the best option is the Roth IRA account.

Explanation:

the formula to determine the future value of an annuity is:

FV = P x [(1 + r)ⁿ - 1] / r

Dan's monthly contribution = $500

Mike's monthly contribution = $500 x (1 - 25%) = $375 until age 59.5, then $500

Dan's n = 42 years x 12 months = 504

r = 9% / 12 = 0.75%

Mike's n = 414 for $375 and 90 for $500

Dan's FV = $500 x [(1 + 0.75%)⁵⁰⁴ - 1] / 0.75% = $2,813,492

Mike's FV = $375 x [(1 + 0.75%)⁴¹⁴ - 1] / 0.75% = $1,052,612

then $1,052,612 x (1.09)⁷°⁵ = $2,008,940

Mike's FV = $500 x [(1 + 0.75%)⁹⁰ - 1] / 0.75% = $63,939

total = $2,008,940 + $63,939 = $2,072,879

A company currently sells products in the United States and is considering expanding to China or Vietnam. Expanding won't impact

mariarad [96]

Answer: Company should not expand to either.

Explanation:

Find the expected values of expanding to either country and pick the country with the highest expected value:

China:

= ∑(Probability of outcome * Outcome)

= (20% * 2,000,000) + (30% * 1,000,000) + (50% * -2,000,000)

= -$300,000

Vietnam:

= (70% * 1,000,000) + (30% * -2,500,000)

= -$50,000

<em>Both countries result in an expected loss so company should not expand to either of them. </em>
