Answer:

A) 8 percent.

Explanation:

Coupon rate refers to the expected periodic earnings of a bond until its maturity. The coupon rate is expressed as a percentage of the par value or the face value of the bond. It is similar to the interest rate for other investments option. A bond's coupon rate is, therefore, its interest rate.

A bond coupon rate represents its yearly earnings. However, most bonds will pay the interest twice per year. The bond issuer pays the bondholder regular and fixed interest until the bond matures. The coupon rate determines the bond's profitability. A bond with a higher coupon rate is more attractive to investors.

If the demand for an item increases,what effect will it have an price and quantity? A) price will increase and quantity increas.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

A) price will increase and quantity increase.

Explanation:

An increase in demand means more customers are willing and can afford to buy a product. Holding the other factors constant, an increase in demand results in many potential buyers chasing very few goods. The competition for the few goods leads to an increase in their prices. The equilibrium point moves up the graph to a new higher position as a result of an increase in demand.

As per the law of supply, quantity supplied increases as prices rise. Profit motives drive all business establishments. As prices increase due to increased demand, suppliers will be motivated to supply more to take advantage of high prices.

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 7.3 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has three

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Sam change: -5.13%

Dave change -18.01%

Explanation:

If interest rate increase by 2%

then the YTM of the bond will be 9.3%

We need eto calcualte the present value of the coupon and maturity of the bond at this new rate:

For the coupon payment we use the formula for ordinary annuity

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Coupon payment: 1,000 x 7.3% / 2 payment per year: 36.50

time 6 (3 years x 2 payment per year)

YTM seiannual: 0.0465 (9.3% annual /2 = 4.65% semiannual)

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-6} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $187.3546

For the maturity we calculate usign the lump sum formula:

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity: $ 1,000.00

time: 6 payment

rate: 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{6} } = PV$

PV 761.32

Now, we add both together:

PV coupon $187.3546 + PV maturity $761.3154 = $948.6700

now we calcualte the change in percentage:

948.67/1,000 - 1 = -0.051330026 = -5.13

For Dave we do the same:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 36.50

time 40

rate 0.0465

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-40} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $657.5166

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 40.00

rate 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{40} } = PV$

PV 162.34

PV c $657.5166

PV m $162.3419

Total $819.8585

Change:

819.86 / 1,000 - 1 = -0.180141521 = -18.01%
