Answer:
bond market value $660
Explanation:
We need to calculate the present value of the maturity and the cuopon payment using the effective rate of 9.7%
First we do the annuity:
C 24.25 (1,000 face value x 4.85 bond rate / 2 )
time 24.00 (12 year 2 payment a year)
rate 0.04850 (current rate divide by 2 to get it annually)
PV $339.55
Then present value of the maturity
Maturity 1,000.00 the face value of the bond
time 24.00
rate 0.04850
PV 320.89
Finally we add them together:
PV coupon payment $339.5545
PV maturity $320.8910
Total $660.4455
rounding to nearest dollar
bond market value $660
Answer:
$9,813.54
Explanation:
The face value of the T-bill is $10,000
Return of 1.9%
P= $10,000/1.019
= $9,813.54
Therefore the price you would expect a 6-month maturity Treasury bill to sell for is
$9,813.54 because The face value of the T-bill is $10,000 and the investors can earn a return of 1.9% per 6 months on a Treasury note with 6 months remaining until maturity leading to increase in the return of 1.9% because 1.9% will give us 0.019 plus increase of 1 which will give us 1.019.
