Answer:
Bond Price = $877.3835955 rounded off to $877.380
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is an annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and r or YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 0.064 * 1000 = $64
Total periods (n)= 25
r or YTM = 7.5% or 0.075
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 64 * [( 1 - (1+0.075)^-25) / 0.075] + 1000 / (1+0.075)^25
Bond Price = $877.3835955 rounded off to $877.380
Answer: The nominal money supply should set at 1,600.
Explanation:
Given that,
Money demand function: (M/P)d = 2,200 – 200r
r - Interest rate
Money supply (M) = 2,000
Price level (P) = 2
If the fed wants to set the interest rate at 7% then,
Money supply = money demand
=
= 2,200 – 200r
P = 2 and r = 7%
= 2,200 – 200 × 7
M = 800 × 2
M = 1,600
The nominal money supply should set at 1,600.
