Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 6.2 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 yea

iragen [17]

Answer:

a-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = -8.07%

a-2. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = -21.12%

b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = 8.94%

b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = 30.77%

c. See the attached excel file for the graph.

d. It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.

Explanation:

The price of each bond can be calculated using the following excel function:

Bond price = -PV(YTM, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)

Where;

a-1. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill?

YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = -PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = $919.29

Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($919.29 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -8.07%

a-2. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted?

YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = -PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = $788.81

Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($788.81 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -21.12%

b-1. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill be then?

YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = -PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = $1,089.36

Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($1,089.36 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 8.94%

b-2. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted be then?

rate = new YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = -PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = $1,307.73

Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($1,307.73 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 30.77%

c. Illustrate your answers by graphing bond prices versus YTM.

Note: See the attached excel file for the graph.

d. What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?

It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.

If a new home can be constructed for $150,000, what is the opportunity cost of federal defense spending, measured in terms of pr

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

4 million houses

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the forfeited benefit as a result of choosing one option over others. Its value equals the cost of the next best alternative.

The cost of constructing a new home is $150,000. If the Federal Defence has a budget of $600 billion, the opportunity cost of spending that amount will be the equivalent number of units that can be built by the amount.

To calculate the number of units= $600 billion divided by $150,000

= $600,000,000,000/ $150,000

=4,000,000

=4 million units

A manufacturer is contemplating a switch from buying to producing a certain item. Setup cost would be the same as ordering cost.

Luden [163]

Answer:

c. 30 percent lower.

Explanation:

Since the manufacturer is contemplating a switch from buying to producing a certain item while setup cost would be the same as ordering cost, the production rate would be about double the usage rate.

Compared to the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), the maximum inventory would be approximately 30 percent lower under Economic Production Quantity (EPQ), and higher under EOQ.
