Answer:

$468,844 approx.

Explanation:

<u>Assumption</u>: <u>Since the question is incomplete, with the available information it has been construed that calculation of bond price is required and the question has been solved accordingl</u>y.

The price of a bond is the present value of future cash receipts it generates to the investor in the form of interest stream and principal stream.

$B_{0} = \frac{i}{(1\ +\ ytm)^{1} }\ +\ \frac{i}{(1\ +\ ytm)^{2} }\ +.....+\frac{i}{(1\ +\ ytm)^{n} } \ + \frac{RV}{(1\ +\ ytm)^{n} }$

wherein,

$B_{0}$ = price of bond as on today

i = annual coupon payments

ytm= investor's expectation of interest or market rate of interest on similar bonds

RV = Redemption value of such bonds assumed to be the face value

n = term to maturity

$B_{0} = \frac{22500}{(1\ +\ .05)^{1} }\ +\ \frac{22500}{(1\ +\ .05)^{2} }\ +.....+\frac{22500}{(1\ +\ .05)^{20} } \ + \frac{500000}{(1\ +\ .05)^{20} }$

$B_{0}=$ 12.46221 × 22,500 + 0.376889 × 22,500 = 280,399.725 + 188444.5

$B_{0} =$ $468,844 approx

This is the present value of the bond which is lower than it's face value because market rate of return of similar bonds is higher than the coupon rate of payment by Westside Corporation.

Arbor Systems and Gencore stocks both have a volatility of 33%. Compute the volatility of a portfolio with 50% invested in each

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

<h3>In case of b, c, d ,e volatility is less than that of original stock</h3>

Explanation:

The formula to compute the volatility of a portfolio

$=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}$

Here,

The standard deviation of the first stock is σ₁

The standard deviation of the second stock is σ₂

The weight of the first stock W₁

The weight of the second stock W₂

The correlation between the stock c

a) If the correlation between the stock is +1

$=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}$

$=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times1} \\\\=0.33$

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.33 0r 33%

b) If the correlation between the stock is 0.50

$=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}$

$=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times0.5} \\\\=0.29$

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.29 0r 29%

c) If the correlation between the stock is 0.00

$=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}$

$=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times0.0} \\\\=0.23$

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.23 0r 23%

d) If the correlation between the stock is -0.50

$=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}$

$=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times-0.5} \\\\=0.17$

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.17 or 17%

e) If the correlation between the stock is -1

$=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}$

$=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times-1} \\\\=0$

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0

<h3>In case of b, c, d ,e volatility is less than that of original stock</h3>

You buy a 6% coupon $1,000 par T-bond 59 days after the last coupon payment. Settlement occurs in two days. You become the owner

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

dirty price: 1,225.39

Explanation:

When we purchase the bond, we are paying the bond and the accrued interest

<em>bond price:</em> 1,000 x 120.59375/100 = 1,205.9375‬ = 1,205.94

accrued interest at purchase:

face value x bond coupon rate x time

1,000 par value x 6% x 59/(59+2+121) =

1,000 x 0.06 x 59/182 = <em>19,45</em>

Total amount for the bonds: 1,205.94 + 19.45 = 1,225.39
