A music school has budgeted to purchase three musical instruments. they plan to purchase a piano costing $3,000, a guitar costin
daser333 [38]

Assuming the costs are normally distributed, then Z = (X-mu)/sigma

For piano Z= (3000-4000)/2500 = -0.4

For guitar Z= (550-500)/200 = 0.25

For drums set Z= (600-700)/100 = -1

Drums set < Piano < Guitar

Drums cost is lowest when compared to the instruments of same type .

Guitar cost is highest when compared to the instruments of same type.

A two-year bond with par value $1,000 making annual coupon payments of $99 is priced at $1,000.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

(a) 9.9%

(b)  10.09%

The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Coupon payment

=  $99

Price

=  $1,000

(a)

The Yield to maturity (YTM) will be:

= \frac{C+\frac{F-P}{n} }{\frac{F+P}{2} }

where,

C = Coupon payment

P = Price

n = years to maturity

F = Face value

On putting the estimated values is the above formula, we get

⇒  99+\frac{0}{1000}

⇒  .099

⇒  9.9%

(b)

Although the 1st year coupon was indeed reinvested outside an interest rate of r%, cumulative money raised will indeed be made at the end of 2nd year.  

= [99\times (1 + r)] + 1,099

Came to the realization compound YTM is therefore a function of r, as is shown throughout the table below:

Rate (r)             Total proceeds         Realized YTM ((\frac{proceeds}{1000} )^{.5} - 1)

7.9%                      1205.8                                   9.8%

9.9%                             1207.8                                   9.9%

11.9%                      1209.8                                  9.99%

Now,

Overall proceeds realized YTM:

= \frac{proceeds}{1000} -18 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2081208}{1000} - 1

= 0.0991

= 9.91 \ percent \ 10 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2101210}{1000}- 1

= 0.1000

= 10.00 \ percent \ 12 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2121212}{1000}-1

= 0.1009

= 10.09%

You are examining an investment opportunity. It would require you to pay money today and then receive payments semi-annually fro
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The semi annual rate is 4.88%

Explanation:

semi annual rate = [((1+r)^(1/n)) -1]

                            =  [((1+10%)^(1/2)) -1]

                            = 4.88%

Therefore, the semi-annual rate (i.e. periodic return per six months) do you require (i.e. need to earn such that this implies 10% earned per year when you get to compound semi-annually) is 4.88%.
