Answer:

8.47%

Explanation:

annual coupon = 6.25% x $1,000 = $62.50

present value = -$912.34

cash flow 0 = -$912.34

cash flow 1 = $62.50

cash flow 2 = $62.50

cash flow 3 = $62.50

cash flow 4 = $62.50

cash flow 5 = $1,062.50

using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function we can determine the yield to maturity = 8.47%

kolezko [41]

Answer:

A skilled  broker will be right at  60% of time compared to 50%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Now,

Let X  be represented as = number of correct predictions/outcomes

X foll binomial distribution with n = 3 and p = 0.5 for broker who use a toss coin

Thus,

P(X = 3) = p^3 = 0.5^3 which gives us  = 0.125

So,

For a skilled broker, Y goes with the binomial distribution with n = 3 and p is = 0.6

Then,

P(Y = 3) = 0.6^3 = 0.216

We can therefore conclude who is skilled broker by making large number of observations

Hence, we say that a skilled broker will be correct 60% of time compared to 50% .
