Answer:

Expected Values : 1st Investment = 1200000 ; 2nd Investment = 2000000 ; 3rd Investment = 7000000

Explanation:

Expected Value = Sum of  [(X Value) x (X Probability)]

E[X] = Σ [X.{P(X)}]  

1st Investment

X = 20% , 50% , 30%  ; P(X) = +5000000 , +10000000 , -  10000000

E(X) = 0.2 (5000000) + 0.5 (1000000) + 0.3 (-1000000)

= 1000000+ 500000 - 300000 = 1200000

2nd Investment

X =15% , 35% , 50% ; P(X) = +5000000 , +4000000 , -1000000

E(X) = 0.15 (5000000) + 0.35 (5000000) + 0.5 (-1000000)

= 750000 + 1750000 - 500000 = 2000000

3rd Investment

X = 0.25 , 0.05 , 0.70 ; P(X) = 5000000 , 3000000 , -1000000

E(X) = 0.25 (5000000) + 0.05 (3000000) + 0.70 (-1000000)

= 1250000 + 150000 - 700000 = 700000

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Bond Price​=  816.29

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

YTM= 0.075

Coupon= 0.058*1,000= 58

Years to maturity= 23 years

Face value= 1,000

<u>To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Bond Price​= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]

Bond Price​= 58*{[1 - (1.075^-23)] / 0.075} + [1,000/(1.075^23)]

Bond Price​= 626.79 + 189.5

Bond Price​=  816.29
