Explanation:
i=interest rate
X=current rate
2X = double current rate
n = number of years
Calculate time it takes to double at 3%:
2X = X(1+i)^n
simplify by cancelling out X
(1+i)^n = 2
substitute i = 3%
(1.03)^n =2
take log
n*log(1.03) = log(2)
n = log(2)/log(1.03) = 0.6931/0.02956 = 23.45 years
Similarly, for growth rate of 7%,
n = log(2)/log(1.07) = 0.6931 / 0.06766 = 10.24 years
So the difference is 23.45-10.24 = 13.21 years (to the hundredth) sooner
Answer:
Coupon= $30 per period.
20 period for semi annual coupon payment.
28.148% discount rate
Explanation:
1.) Coupon rate * face value of bond = coupon
semi annual rate =6%/2=3%
Coupon= 1000 *3%= $30 per period.
2.) t= number of periods = years of maturity * coupon payment semi-annual
t= 10 * 2 = 20 periods.
3. Discount rate formula =C+[(F-P)/t] / (F+P/2)
where C=coupon payment annual
F= face value of security
P=price of security= 1000 *8%=80
t= years of maturity.
so we have⇒ 60+[(1000-80)/10]/(1000+80)/2
=152/540
=28.148%
