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.)

Jeff, a local traffic​ engineer, has designed a new pedestrian foot bridge that is capable of handling the current traffic rate
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

a. How long will the current bridge system work before a new bracing system is​ required?: 64.18 years or 64 years and 2 months.

b. What if the annual traffic rate increases at 8 ​% ​annually: The bracing system will last for 24.65 years or 24 years and 7 months.

c. At what traffic increase rate will the current system last only 12 ​years: 17.13%

Explanation:

a. Denote x is the time taken for the number of pedestrian to grow from 300 to 2000. The current pedestrian is 300, the grow rate per year is 3% or 1.03 times a year. Thus, to reach 2,000, we have the equation: 300 x 1.03^x = 2000. Show the equate, we have 1.03^x = 6.67 <=> x = 64.18

b.  Denote x is the time taken for the number of pedestrian to grow from 300 to 2000. The current pedestrian is 300, the grow rate per year is 8% or 1.08 times a year. Thus, to reach 2,000, we have the equation: 300 x 1.08^x = 2000. Show the equate, we have 1.08^x = 6.67 <=> x = 24.65.

c. Denote x as traffic increase rate. The current pedestrian is 300, the grow rate per year is (1+x) times a year. Thus, to reach 2,000 after 12 years and thus a new bracing system to be in place, we have the equation: 300 x (1+x)^12 = 2000. Show the equate, we have (1+x)^12 = 6.67 <=> 1+x = 1.1713 <=> x = 17.13%.
