Dillon can buy a fixed-rate bond with a 4% coupon, a $10,000 principal, and five years left to maturity or a TIPS with the same

principal and age to maturity with a 2% coupon. Compare the two bonds if inflation runs 3% per year on average.
Select the best answer from the choices provided.

1The fixed-rate bond has a better yield.

2 The TIPS has a better yield.

3 Both yields are roughly equivalent.

4The yields vary with inflation.

Answer: 1 The fixed-rate bond has a better yield

Step-by-step explanation:

a coupon rate = 4%

principal = $ 10000

x/ $10000 = 4% = 4/100

x = $400

for 5 years = $400 x 5 = $2000

with inflation of 3%

3/100 x $10000 = $300

adjusted principal = $10000 + $300 = $10300

coupon rate x adjusted principal = 4/100 x$10300 = $412per year

for 5 years =  5 x $412= $2060

b) Dillon buys buy a fixed-rate bond with a $10,000 principal

TIPS = Treasure Inflation-Protected  Security rises with its principal as inflation rises = 3% per year on average

coupon rate = 2 %

without inflation = 2/100 x $10,000 = $200

with inflation upward by 3% = 3/100 x $10000 = $300

adjusted principal = $10000 + $300 = $10300

thus coupon rate x adjusted principal = 2/100 x $10300 = $206 peryear

for 5 years =  5 x $206= $1030

Therefore $2060 > $1030

The fixed bond rate has a better yield

EASY QUESTION
Ostrovityanka [42]
The correct answer would be D, the median 86.5.

In this set of data most of the values are in the 80's or 90's. There is only 1 number that is outside of this range, that is the value 0. It is an outlier. 

When we have an outlier, the median generally gives us the better measure of central tendency.

Daniel borrows $2,500 at 6% simple interest for 5 years. How much is daniel going to pay in interest. May I please get help I ha
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

2500 x 6/100 = 150

150 x 5 = 750

2500 + 750 = 3 250

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to determine the interest for one year. We know that a percentage means a 100 so we are going to use 6/100. You then have to multiple that by the original amount, you will then get your answer. After obtaining your answer your will multiple it by the number of years which is 5, once you get your answer add it to the original amount. Then you are all set.

Which transformation preserves only angle measurement? Why is it not considered to be a rigid transformation?
Sati [7]

A rigid transformation (also called an isometry) is a transformation of the plane that preserves length. In a rigid transformation the pre-image and image are congruent (have the same shape and sizes).

A. A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size (not an isometry). Forms similar figures or in other words preserves only angle measurement and ratio between sides lengths. In simple words, dilation means, it just resizes the given figure without rotating or anything else. It is not rigid transformation.

B. A rotation is a transformation in which the object is rotated about a fixed point. The direction of rotation can be clockwise or anticlockwise. Rotation is rigid transformation, it means that rotation preserves sides lengths.

C. In a reflection transformation, all the points of an object are reflected or flipped on a line called the axis of reflection. Under reflection, the shape and size of an image is exactly the same as the original figure. This type of transformation is rigid.

D. In a translation transformation all the points in the object are moved in a straight line in the same direction. The size, the shape and the orientation of the image are the same as that of the original object. Same orientation means that the object and image are facing the same direction. This type of transformation is rigid.

Answer: correct choice is A.
