Answer:

The endowment fund is not satisfied with the advisor's performance

Explanation:

Judging from a nominal interest rate perspective where return expected of an investment comprises of real rate of return and an extra return which is a compensation for inflation rate in the economy,the endowment fund is not satisfied with performance of the advisor.

The satisfactory rate of return that would be expected of the advisor is computed below:

nominal interest rate=real rate+inflation rate

real rate is 8.2%

inflation rate is 2.9%

nominal interest rate=8.2%+2.9%

                                  =11.10%

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

a. estimate the amount to mitigate high impact and probable issues.

Explanation:

In project management, a contractor can be defined as an individual or organization that temporarily undertakes a project in order to create a unique result, product, and service.

A contingency is an amount of money which is added to the initial or standard cost estimate so as to cover risk exposure and any uncertainty.

When making contingency estimates, the contractor should estimate the amount to mitigate high impact and probable issues.

As a result of uncertainties that are peculiar to everything in life, most especially projects undertaken, it is very important and necessary that the contractor should set aside an amount of money to mitigate or lessen any high impact such as dwindling prices, miscellaneous, faults, repairs and other probable issues that may arise in the process of execution.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

a.

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

b.

Bond Price  = $502500

c.

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
