Answer: 0.000903
Explanation:
Expected return is the sum of the probability that the other returns will happen.
= (13% * 83%) + (5% * 17%)
= 10.79 % + 0.85%
= 11.64%
Variance = ((Return during boom - Expected return)²*probability of boom) + ((Return during recession - Expected Return)²*probability of recession)
Variance = ((13% -11.64%)² * 83%) + (5% - 11.64%)² * 17%)
= 0.0001535168 + 0.0007495232
= 0.000903
Answer: 12%
Explanation:
Stated interest rate is used in the calculation of the annual interest payment.
Interest payment = Face value of bonds * Stated interest rate
Annual Interest payment = Semi annual interest payment * 2
= 12,000 * 2
= $24,000
24,000 = 200,000 * Stated interest
Stated interest = 24,000 / 200,000
= 0.12
= 12%
