You are considering buying a 30-year U.S. Treasury bond but are nervous about the effect on bond price if the yield to maturity

on the bond increases. The bond has a 3% coupon rate and pays coupons semi-annually. The duration is 18 years. Suppose that interest rates on this bond rise by 1.8%. Calculate the corresponding percentage change in the price of the bond using the approximation method based on bond duration. Give your answer in percent to one decimal place. If the price decreases, then include a minus sign; if the price increases, do not include any sign. Do not type the % symbol.

Answer:

The corresponding percentage change in the price of the bond using the approximation method based on the bond duration is  <u> -3.24%</u>

Explanation:

In this question, we are to calculate the corresponding percentage change in the price of the bonds using the approximation method based on the bond duration.

<em>Mathematically, </em><em>approximate change in bond price = -(Duration × Change in yield)</em>

From the question, we identify that the duration is 18 years while the change in yield is 1.8% = 1.8/100 = 0.18

We plug this in the equation above;

The approximate change in bond price is thus; -(18 × 0.18) = -3.24%

Answer:

0.60

Explanation:

The midpoint formula is used to calculate elasticity by using average percentage in both price and quantity.

The formula is given below:

Percentage change in quantity =<u>  (Q2 -Q1)     </u>   x  100

                                                        (Q2 + Q1) / 2

Percentage change in price = <u> (P2 -P1)     </u>   x  100

                                                   (P2 + P1) / 2

Elasticity =<u> Percentage change in price__</u>

                 Percentage change in quantity

Inserting the data:

Percentage change in quantity =<u> (30  -20)    </u>  x  100  =    <u>10</u> x 100  = 40%

                                                       (30 + 20) /2                   25

Percentage change in price  = <u>($20 - $10)</u> x 100    =  <u>10</u>  x 100   =  66.6%

                                                    ($20 + $10) /2             15

Elasticity of supply = <u>40%</u>

                                  66.6%

                                  = 0.60

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

$5,400

Explanation:

The computation of real gross domestic product is shown below:-

Goods     Price base year   Quantity current year   Expenditure

                    2012                      2013

A                    $2.00                  600                             $1,200

                                                                               ($2.00 × 600)

B                    $4.00                  900                             $3,600

                                                                               ($4.00 × 900)

C                    $2.00                  300                              $600

                                                                               ($2.00 × 300)

Real Gross domestic product                                     $5,400

Therefore, Real GDP is the sum value of all the final goods and services generated by an economy in a given year, which accounts for inflation. The estimate is based on the prices of a selected base year.

A billionaire offers to give you $5 billion if you will count out the amount in $1 bills or a lump sum of $5000. how long would
Over [174]

There is 24 hours in a day and you need to rest for 10 hours a day, so working hours = 14 hours

There is 60 minutes in one hour so if you count one dollar per sec,

14 hours/day x 60 min/hr x 60sec/min x $1 / sec = $50,400

So you can count $50,400/day and when there is $5 billion which is equal to = $5,000,000,000

And there is 365 days in a year so,

<span>$5,000,000,000 / ($50,400/day) = 99206.35 / 365 = 271.8 years</span>
