He should take the option one of sales commission of 3.1% on each bond. If he takes the 2nd option, he is required to pay 24$ per bond. But if he takes the ist option, he is required to pay 15.5$ per bond. 88.754 is the market rate. Total investment is of 500$. Multiply the commission rate with the amount and you get 15.5 $. There is a difference of 8.5 dollars between the two options.

Hence, the Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest at the end of the year is $45,500

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Option (C) is Correct.

Explanation:

There are two countries : Home country and Foreign country.

Purchasing power parity measures or compares the currencies of the two different nations by using a basket of goods approach.

It is calculated as follows:

= (cost of basket of goods in home currency) ÷ (Cost of same basket of goods in foreign country)

A pension fund has an average duration of its liabilities equal to 17 years. The fund is looking at 4-year maturity zero-coupon
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

40.91%

Explanation:

Duration perpetuity = 1.04/4%

Duration perpetuity = 1.04/0.04

Duration perpetuity = 26 years

Now, 17 = (Wz)*4 + (1 - Wz)*26

17 = 4Wz + 26 - 26Wz

26Wz - 4Wz = 26 - 17

22Wz = 9

Wz = 9/22

Wz = 0.409091

Wz = 40.91%

So, 40.91% of its portfolio should be allocated to the zero-coupon bonds to immunize, if there are no other assets funding the plan.
