Bond Yields and Rates of Return A 30-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of $1,000 may be called in 4 years at a c

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The bond's yield to maturity is 9.45% using Excel to get exact values, and 9.59% using approximate method.

Explanation:

We can calculate is using 2 ways, using Excel to get the exact percentage or with approximate methods, calculating the semi-annual Yield to Maturity using the following formula

$YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}$

And from there we can calculate the Yield to Maturity just by multiplying the semi-annual one by 2.

Identifying the given information.

We have a period of 30 years, so for the semiannual bond we have $n=2(30) = 60$ periods.

The face value, FV, is $1000, the coupon rate is 0.10, thus we can use them to find the interest per period PMT.

$PMT=0.10 \times \cfrac{1000}{2}\\PMT=\$ 50$

The current price of the bond, PV is $1050.

Replacing the values on the semiannual Yield to Maturity

$YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}$

$YTM_{sm}=\cfrac{50+\cfrac{1000-1050}{60}}{\cfrac{1000+1050}{2}}$

Simplifying we get

$YTM_{sm}=4.797\%\\$

Finding the Yield to Maturity.

We can just multiply by 2 to get the Yield to Maturity from our previous result and rounding it to 2 decimals we get

$YTM = 2 YTM_{sm}\\YTM=9.59\%$

Alternatively we can use Excel and write:

RATE(n, PMT, PV, FV)*2

That is

RATE(60,50,1050,1000)*2

And we will get the exact Yield to maturity 9.49%

In the money creation process, the simple money multiplier assumes that banks hold no excess reserves. What is the consequence o

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

If banks hold excess reserves, then the money multiplier will be smaller.

Explanation:

It is easier to understand using an example:

required reserve rate = 5%

money multiplier = 1 / 5% = 20

if $100 are injected in to the economy and they are deposited in the banking system, the money supply will increase by $100 x 20 = $2,000. But this calculation only works if banks lend 100% of the loanable funds, but if instead banks only lend $90, instead of $95 ($100 x 95%), then the money multiplier will be 1 / 10% = 10. In this case, the money supply will only increase by half
