The IRR rule states that firms should accept any project offering an internal rate of return in excess of the cost of capitalA.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

Internal rate of return abbreviated as IRR, is a capital budgeting technique used to evaluate the profitability of a potential project or an investment. In calculating the IRR, the net present value of the project's cash inflows is set at zero. Getting the actual value of the IRR is through trial and error, or specially programmed software.

IRR shows the growth rate a project or an investment is expected to generate. The higher the value, the better. As a rule, only projects whose IRR is greater than the minimum required rate of return should be accepted. The required rate of return is the same as the cost of capital for the project.

You purchase a twenty year zero coupon bond with a yield of 5%. One year later you sell the bond at a yield of 4%. What is your

astraxan [27]

Answer:

25.94%

Explanation:

Assume, Face value of bond =$1000

Purchase price of twenty year zero coupon bond = 1000/((1+i)^N) . Where, yield = 5% =0.05 , N= number of years to maturity =20

==> Purchase Price = 1000/(1.05^20)

Purchase Price = 1000/2.65329770514

Purchase Price = $376.89

Selling Price after one year: 1000/(1+I)^19. Where i=yield=4%=0.04, N=19

Selling Price=1000/(1.04^19)

Selling Price = 1000/2.10684917599

Selling Price = $474.64

Rate of Return = (474.64/376.89) - 1

Rate of Return = 1.25935949481281 - 1

Rate of Return = 0.2594

Rate of Return = 25.94%

The yield to maturity (YTM) on 1-year zero-coupon bonds is 8% and the YTM on 2-year zeros is 9%. The yield to maturity on 2-year

yarga [219]

Answer:

Arbitrage opportunity may exists as the ZCBs selling at different price at same time due to change in their YTM .

The PV of 100 face value zcb with different ytm are different , in this case.

for one year maturity with face value 100 current price = fv/ pv at 8% = 92.59

for Two year maturity with face value 100 current price = fv / Pv at 9% for two years = 84.167 , if the bond holder sell the bond after 1 year only, the price = 91.74 .

a) The arbitrage opportunity exist with buy two bond with face value 100 with maturity of 1 year and face value 110 with maturity of 2 years.

b) profit 0.01 , as difference between PV of both bond at their YTM rate.

JG Asset Services is recommending that you invest $1,500 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compou

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

So after 5 year total amount will be $1781.529

So option (a) is correct option

Explanation:

We have given that JG Asset is recommending that you invest $1500 for 5 years at rate of 3.5%

So principle amount P = $1500

Rate of interest r = 3.5 %

Time n = 5 years

We know that when total amount is given by

$A=P(1+\frac{5.5}{100})^n$ , here r is rate of interest and n is time period

So amount after 5 years will be

$A=1500(1+\frac{3.5}{100})^5=$1781.52$

So after 5 year total amount will be $1781.529

So option (a) is correct option
