Last year Janet purchased a $1,000 face value corporate bond with an 10% annual coupon rate and a 20-year maturity. At the time

of the purchase, it had an expected yield to maturity of 13.84%. If Janet sold the bond today for $994.79, what rate of return would she have earned for the past year? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

33.8%

Explanation:

Purchase price of the bond will be computed using the formula below.

p=\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n} }{r} + \frac{F}{(1+r)^{n} }

where A = annual coupon = 10% * 1000 = 100

r = yield to maturity = 0.1384

n = time to maturity = 20 years

F = face value = $1,000

p = price of the bond.

p=\frac{100(1-1.1384^{-20} }{0.1384} + \frac{1,000}{(1.1384)^{20} }\\p = 668.4721 + 74.8346\\p = 743.31

Therefore, if Janet sold the bond a year later for $994.79,

the profit on sale = \frac{994.79}{743.31} -1=0.3383

= 33.8% profit (rate of return).

Brrunno [24]

Answer: A. incorrect because part of each payment is to principal and to interest.​ Therefore, only a portion of the payment goes to​ interest, so the full amount should not be included when computing the rate of interest paid.

Explanation:

When paying back a loan, there are two components to the periodic interest payment. The first component is the interest payment. This is the payment to compensate the borrower for loaning out the money and is based on the interest rate and the principal left to be repaid.

The second component goes towards repaying the principal of the loan which in this case is $10,000. When computing the periodic interest rate therefore, the entire amount paid per period should not be used as it would inflate the interest rate.

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The range of possible transfer is $ 3.25 to $ 3.50

Explanation:

Data provided:

The purchasing cost of the transistor = $ 3.50

The total number of transistors needed = 8,000

The production cost of the transistor = $ 4.00

The included variable cost = $ 3.25

The included fixed cost = $ 0.75

Now,

the fixed cost cannot be altered, thus it will be there

hence,

the variable cost will be the factor that will evaluate the decision i.e $ 3.25

therefore, the <u>range of possible transfer is $ 3.25 to $ 3.50</u>

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

$39,000

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Charitable contribution to carry forward = Contribution to church + Contribution to qualified charities + Half of the fair market value of contributed religious artwork

Therefore, we have:

Charitable contribution carry forward = $6,000 + $3,000 + ($60,000 ÷ 2) = $39,000

Therefore, the amount of the charitable contribution carry forward beyond the current year for Gina Hestopolis is $39,000.
