One bond has a coupon rate of 5.4%, another a coupon rate of 8.2%. Both bonds pay interest annually, have 13-year maturities, an
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a. rate or return bond 1 <u>6.6%</u> bond 2 <u>7.71%</u>

b. Does the higher-coupon bond give a higher rate of return? <u>yes</u>

Explanation:

bond 1 has a coupon rate of 5.4%

bond 2 has a coupon rate of 8.2%

yield to maturity formula = {C + [(Face value - market value) / n]} / [(Face value + market value) / 2]

assume bond 1's face value = $1,000

coupon = 54

n = 13

YTM = 7.5%

0.075 = {54 + [(1,000 - M) / 13]} / [(1,000 + M) / 2]

0.075 x  [(1,000 + M) / 2] = 54 +  [(1,000 - M) / 13]

0.075 x (500 + 0.5M) = 54 + 76.92 - 0.0769M

37.50 + 0.0375M = 130.92 - 0.0769M

0.0375M + 0.0769M = 130.92 - 37.50

0.1144M = 93.42

M = 93.42 / 0.1142 = $818.04

rate of return = $54 / $818.04 = 0.066 = 6.6%

assume bond 2's face value = $1,000

coupon = 82

n = 13

YTM = 7.5%

0.075 = {82 + [(1,000 - M) / 13]} / [(1,000 + M) / 2]

0.075 x  [(1,000 + M) / 2] = 82 +  [(1,000 - M) / 13]

0.075 x (500 + 0.5M) = 82 + 76.92 - 0.0769M

37.50 + 0.0375M = 158.92 - 0.0769M

0.0375M + 0.0769M = 158.92 - 37.50

0.1144M = 121.42

M = 121.42 / 0.1142 = $1,063.22

rate of return = $82 / $1,063.22 = 0.07712 = 7.71%

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

d) The change to the equilibrium price of French chocolate souffle is ambiguous and the equilibrium quantity of French chocolate souffle falls

Explanation:

Inferior goods are those goods whose demand falls with the rise in the income of the consumer.

As per the given case, French chocolate souffle is an inferior good. When income of the consumer rises, his demand for French chocolate souffle will fall.

Similarly, when producers of such an inferior good decrease, the supply of French chocolate souffle shall fall.

With respect to the original equilibrium level, the demand curve shall experience a leftward shift i.e decrease whereas the supply curve too experiences a leftward shift i.e supply falls.

At the new equilibrium level, definitely the equilibrium quantity shall fall, but the change in equilibrium price cannot be ascertained as per the given information.
