Answer:

Current value = $550

Explanation:

You can solve this question using a financial calculator. I am using (Texas Instruments BA II plus)

First, since it is Semiannual coupon, adjust the interest rate to semi-annual rate and multiply  15 years by 2 since we have 2 semi annual periods per year.

<em>Note: If using the same calculator as me, key in the numbers first before the function .</em>

Total duration of investment ;N = 15 * 2 = 30

Interest rate; I/Y = 16% / 2 = 8%

Face value; FV = 1000

Semi annual Coupon Payment ; PMT = (8%/2)*1000 = 40

then CPT PV = $549.689

Therefore the current value of this bond is $550 (rounded to whole number.)

A customer invests 50000. 10 years later, the investment is worth 100000. the customers annual compouned rate of return is?
9966 [12]

<u>Answer:</u> The rate of interest is 7.18 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the rate of interest, we use the equation used for the interest compounded monthly follows:

A=P(1+\frac{R}{n})^{nT}

A = Amount after time period 'T' = $100,000

P = Principal amount = $50,000

R = rate of interest = ?

n = Number of times interest applied per time period = 1   (annually)

T = time period = 10 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

100,000=50,000(1+\frac{R}{1})^{1\times 10}\\\\R=0.0718

Calculating the rate of interest in percentage:

\Rightarrow R\times 100=0.0718\times 100=7.18\%

Hence, the rate of interest is 7.18 %
