DF =DE + EF
4x-8 = x-4 + 2x+5
4x - 8 = 3x + 1
4x - 3x = 1 + 8
x = 9

Answer: The required value of x is 9.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that point E is between the points D and F.

Also, DE = x - 4, EF = 2x + 5 and DF = 4x - 8.

We are to find the value of x.

Since the point E lies between the points D and F, so we must have

$DE+EF=DF\\\\\Rightarrow (x-4)+(2x+5)=4x-8\\\\\Rightarrow 3x+1=4x-8\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-3x=1+8\\\\\Rightarrow x=9.$

Thus, the required value of x is 9.

Find the face value of the 20-year zero-coupon bond at 4.4%, compounded semiannually, with a price of $8,375.

umka21 [38]

Given:

Time,

t = 20 years

Rate,

r = 4.4%

Price

= $8,375

Now,

The yield will be:

= $\frac{4.4}{2}$

= $1.1$ (%)

Time will be:

= $20\times 2$

= $40 \ periods$

As we know the formula,

⇒ $Price \ of \ bond = \frac{Face \ value}{(1+\frac{r}{2} )^{n\times 2}}$

By substituting the values, we get

$8375=\frac{Face \ value}{(1+\frac{0.044}{2} )^{20\times 2}}$

$8375=\frac{Face \ value}{(1.022)^{40}}$

$8375=\frac{Face \ value}{2.3880083}$

The face value will be:

$Face \ value = 2.3880083\times 8375$

$=20,000$ ($)
