Buy shares in a mutual fund. Mutual funds pool savings from many individual investors and then
invest in a diversified portfolio of securities. Each individual investor then owns a proportionate
share of the mutual fund's portfolio.
Answer:
$164.29
Explanation:
The formula to compute the markup percentage is shown below:
Markup percentage = (Sale price - purchase price) ÷ (purchase price)
where,
Markup percentage is 40%
Sale price is $230
So, the purchase price is
0.40 = ($230 - purchase price) ÷ (purchase price)
0.40 × purchase price = $230 - purchase price
So, the purchase price is
= $230 ÷ 1.40
= $164.29
Answer:
Current price of bond is $1060.47
Explanation:
Coupon payment = 1000 x 8% = $80 yearly = 80/2 = $40 semiannually
Number of periods = n = 8 years x 2 periods per year = 16
Yield to maturity = 7% yearly = 7% / 2 = 3.5%
Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows, to calculate Price of the bond use following formula:
Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]
Price of the Bond =$80 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 3.5% )^-16 ) / 3.5% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 3.5% )^16 ]
Price of the Bond = $80 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.035 )^-16 ) / 0.035 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.035 )^16 ]
Price of the Bond = $483.76 + $576.71
Price of the Bond = $1,060.47
Answer:
2.21%
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the rate of return on the project where the present value of future cash flows equals the initial investment outlay. It is known as the break-even discount rate since, at IRR, the net present value is zero.
The IRR can be determined using the excel IRR function as shown thus:
=IRR(values)
values are the cash flows from years 0-4
