Answer:

The borrower is best off in situation <u>"a"</u> and the lender is best off in situation ▼  "C" .

Explanation:

Considering all the situations given in the options, the <u>borrower</u> is best in situation <u>a</u> and <u>lender</u> is best off in situation in <u>c</u>.

<u>Part a </u>

Real Interest rate = Nominal Interest rate - Inflation rate = 14 - 17 = -3 per cent. Thus, the purchasing power of money has fallen and the person has to pay back money with little purchasing power as compared to the value of the purchasing power at the time he borrowed money. Thus, borrowers are best off.Thus, <u>borrower</u> is best off when the inflation rate is very high.

<u>Part c</u>

Inflation rate is negative, thus the purchasing power of money will increase and lenders will get back money with higher purchasing power as compared to the value of the purchasing power of money at the time he lend the money. Thus, <u>lender </u>is best off when inflation rate is lowest.

A year ago, Jasper Inc. sold 20-year bonds at par with a coupon rate of 4.5 percent and semiannual payments. The face value of e
scoray [572]

Answer:

= $877.32

Explanation:

<em>The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).</em>

<em>Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV</em>

The value of bond for Jasper Inc can be worked out as follows:

Step 1

<em>PV of interest payments</em>

<em>Semi annul interest paymen</em>t

= 4.5% × 1000 × 1/2

= 22.5

<em>Semi-annual yield</em> = 5.6/2 = 2.8% per six months

<em>Total period to maturity (in months)</em>

= (2 × 19) = 38 periods  <em> (Note it was sold a year ago)</em>

<em>PV of interest = </em>

<em> </em>22.5 × (1- (1+0.028)^(-38)/0.028)

= 22.5 ×23.20871226

= 522.196

Step 2

<em>PV of Redemption Value</em>

= 1,000 × (1.056)^(-19)

= 355.128

<em>Price of bond</em>

=  522.19 + 355.12

= $877.32
