Answer: 28.2%
Explanation:
Correlation Coefficient = Covariance / (Standard deviation of Security A * Standard deviation of Security B)
0.52 = 0.022 /( 15% * σ)
(15% * σ) * 0.52 = 0.022
15% * σ = 0.022 / 0.52
σ = 0.0423/15%
= 28.2%
Answer:
The new price of the bond is $928.94
Explanation:
Initially the bond's price is equal to its par value which means the coupon rate on bond and the market interest rates are the same i.e. 6%.
Th bond's price is calculated as the sum of the present value of the annuity of interest payments by the bond and the present value of the face value of the bond that will be received at maturity. The discount rate used to calculate the present values is the market interest rate.
As the bond is a semiannual bond, we will use the semi annual coupon payment, the semi annual percentage of the annual rate of interest on market and the number of semi annual periods outstanding.
Semi annual coupon payment = 1000 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $30
Number of semiannual periods till maturity = 10 * 2 = 20 periods
New market interest rate = 6 + 1 = 7% annual
New semi annual market interest rate = 7% / 2 = 3.5%
Price of bond = 30 * [ (1 - (1+0.035)^-20) / 0.035 ] + 1000 / (1+0.035)^20
Price of bond = $928.938 rounded off to $928.94
We used the present value of annuity ordinary formula for preset value of interest payments and the normal present value of principal formula for the face value.

Answer:
unstructured interview
Explanation:
Unstructured interview involves asking questions that are not pre-arranged beforehand. The interviewer asks questions at his discretion to find out job related traits in the applicant.
This approach however can lead to legal issues as the interviewer may not know the implication of asking some questions that are not legally accepted for interviews.
Unstructured interviews are usually informal and like an everyday conversation. Probe questions are used to open candidates up as much as possible.
