What is the value of a zero-coupon bond with a yield to maturity of 9 percent, a par value of $1,000, and 10 years to maturity?
(Assume semi-annual compounding)
1 answer:
Answer:
$414.64
Explanation:
For computing the value of zero-coupon bond we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 9% ÷ 2 = 4.5%
NPER = 10 years × 2 = 20 years
PMT = $0
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $414.64

The above answer can be explained as under -
Given,
Current Liabilities = $ 4,590
Net working capital = $ 2,170
So, the current assets will be calculated as under -
Net working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
$ 2,170 = Current assets - $ 4,590
Current assets = $ 2,170 + $ 4,590
Current assets = $ 6,760
The liquid or quick assets will be calculated as -
Current assets - Inventory = Quick assets
Quick assets = $ 6,760 - $ 3,860
Quick assets = $ 2,900.
Now,
1. Current ratio =
Current ratio = = 1.47
2. Quick ratio =
Quick ratio = = 0.63
