A 30-year maturity bond has a 6.7% coupon rate, paid annually. It sells today for $881.17. A 20-year maturity bond has a 6.2% co

upon rate, also paid annually. It sells today for $893.1. A bond market analyst forecasts that in five years, 25-year maturity bonds will sell at yields to maturity of 7.7% and 15-year maturity bonds will sell at yields of 7.2%. Because the yield curve is upward sloping, the analyst believes that coupons will be invested in short-term securities at a rate of 7.2%. What rate of return does each bond offer over the 5-year period?

Answer:

Rate of return

30 year bond =  42%

20 year bond = 45%

Explanation:

First of all find current yield on 30 year maturity bond

We will use PV of annuity formula to calculate current YTM

Coupon Payment = 6.7% x 1000 = $67

$881.17 =( $67( 1- ( 1 + r )^-30 ) / r ) + ( 1000 / ( 1 + r )^30 )

r = 0.0773 = 7.73%

Current YTM is 7.73%

Now calculate the current yield for 20 years maturity bond

Coupon Payment = 6.2% x 1000 = $62

893.1 = ( ( $62 x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-20 ) / r ) + ( 1000 / ( 1 + r )^20 )

r = 0.0723 = 7.23%

As given

5 years from now the YTM on 30 Year bond will be 7.70% and on 20 Year bond will be 7.20%.

Now calculate

Price of the 30 year bond Bond after 5 year at YTM of 7.7%

Price of the Bond = ( $67 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.077 )^-(30-5) ) / 0.077 )+( 1000 / ( 1 + 0.077 )^(30-5) ) = $890.46

Price of the 20 year bond Bond after 5 year at YTM of 7.2%

Price of the Bond = ((6.7%*1000)*(1-(1+0.072)^-15)/0.072)+(1000/(1+0.072)^15)

( $62 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.072 )^-(20-5) ) / 0.072 )+( 1000 / ( 1 + 0.072 )^(20-5) ) = $910.06

Increase in price of 30 year bond = $890.46 - $881.17 = $9.29

Increase in price of 30 year bond = $910.06 - $893.1 = $16.96

Future value of Coupon payment for 5 years

30 year bond = 67 x ( 1.072^5 -1 ) / 0.072 = $386.84

20 year bond = 62 x ( 1.072^5 -1 ) / 0.072 = $357.97

Total return = FV of Coupon payment + Price increase

30 year bond = $386.84 + $9.29 = $396.13

20 year bond = $357.97 + $16.96 = $374.93

Rate of return =  

30 year bond = $396.13 / $881.17 = 0.45 = 45%

20 year bond = $374.93 / $893.1 = 0.42 = 42%

You just took out a​ $12,000 loan for your small business. the loan has a four year term and repayment is in the form of four eq
umka2103 [35]
Answer:  $403.20

Explanation:


We use a mortgage calculator to calculate the interest paid in the final payment. Since each repayment is made at the end of year, the repayments are annual payments. So, the calculator should have an annual amortization schedule to solve the problem.

I used http://www.calculator.net/loan-calculator for the calculation because it has an annual payment schedule. Then, I went under the subtitle Paying Back a Fixed Amount Periodically because the payments are equal. In that online calculator, I just input these data:

- Loan Amount: $12,000
- Loan Term: 4 (Loan term is number of years to pay the loan)
- Interest Rate: 11.5%
- Compound: Annually (APY) 
- Pay Back: Every year

Then, I clicked the calculate button and view amortization table. The annual amortization schedule is attached in this answer. 

To determine the interest paid at the final payment, I looked at payment #4 because the final payment is at the 4th year. (The loan is paid in 4 annual payments).

As seen in the attached image, the interest paid in payment #4 is $403.20. Hence, the interest paid in the final payment is $403.20.

Answer:

Authority - Responsibility Balance & Incentive Development.

Explanation:

Authority refers to the power to command, give orders to somebody. And enjoying the position of having right to get it obeyed.

Responsibility refers to being in a position of accountability, answerability for an allocated task or job & its performance.

For Eg : A manager  given responsibility to complete a task of production targets achievement, is also given authority to command the entire staff at the production site.

Joe had problem while working for someone else that :- he had responsibility to complete employers allocated task, but may be not given enough authority to do so, thats why he felt he is being 'commanded by, working for' someone else. Also, he doesn't owe the rewards of his acts, so lacks incentive.

Being an entrepreneur will entitle him with managerial responsibilities, but at the same time will also give him higher authority to take his own independent decisions. And, he is himself responsible for his acts, will bear losses or enjoy profits for himself. So, it also incentivises him to work for himself.
