Why might long-term interest rates go down at the same time that the federal reserve pushes short-term rates up?

1 answer:

3 0

Because the federal reserve would want to discourage quick investments or want people to save more money right now. Long term rates would go down because these are well thought out infrastructure projects that are good for the long run.

James Corporation is planning to issue bonds with a face value of $502,500 and a coupon rate of 6 percent. The bonds mature in 7

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Bond Price = $563,333.90007 rounded off to $563,333.90

Bond Price = $502500

Bond Price = $437232.16025 rounded off to $437232.16

Explanation:

To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, which is the present value of the bond, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is a semi annual bond, we will use the semi annual coupon payment, semi annual number of periods and semi annual YTM. The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

a. Case A: Market interest rate (annual): 4 percent

Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075

Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14

r or YTM = 4% * 6/12 = 0.02 or 2%

Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.02)^-14) / 0.02] + 502500 / (1+0.02)^14

Bond Price = $563,333.90007 rounded off to $563,333.90

b. Case B: Market interest rate (annual): 6 percent

Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075

Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14

r or YTM = 6% * 6/12 = 0.03 or 3%

Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.03)^-14) / 0.03] + 502500 / (1+0.03)^14

Bond Price = $502500

c. Case C: Market interest rate (annual): 8.5 percent.

Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075

Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14

r or YTM = 8.5% * 6/12 = 0.0425 or 4.25%

Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.0425)^-14) / 0.0425] + 502500/(1+0.0425)^14

Bond Price = $437232.16025 rounded off to $437232.16

Which of the following is an example of price discrimination? a. An online bookstore charges more for overnight shipping than st

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

c) Hotel rates for AAA members are lower than for nonmembers.

Explanation:

In business, the term price discrimination refers to the strategy by which the seller charges a different price for the SAME product because the seller knows that the client will pay that price. The key word of this definition is that the seller is offering the same service/product but at different costs

If we take a look at our options we can see that a) offers a different service (one is overnight shipping and the other is standard), b) also offers a different product (first-class seats vs. coach), finally, c) offers the same product (the same hotel rooms) but non members pay more for the rooms than AAA members.

Thus, the correct answer is c) Hotel rates for AAA members are lower than for nonmembers.
