Answer: $300 billion

Explanation:

The real deficit that a Government has is one that has been adjusted for inflationary effects. It is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate times the total debt from the nominal deficit.

= Nominal deficit - (Inflation rate * Total debt)

= 1.5 trillion - ( 10% * 12 trillion)

= 1.5 trillion - 1.2 trillion

= $300 billion

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Option (a) $372.60

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of days during which the seller occupied the house = 136 days

Estimated cost for the entire year = $1,000

The period of time during which the seller occupied the house in years

= Number of days during which the seller occupied the house ÷ Total number of days in a year

= 136 ÷ 365

= 0.37260

Therefore,

The amount that the buyer will be credited = 0.37260 × $1,000

= $372.60

Stech Co. is issuing $9 million 12% bonds in a private placement on July 1, 2017. Each $1,000 bond pays interest semi-annually o
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Expected selling price =$ 1,271.81

Explanation:

<em>The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.</em>

<em>These cash flows include interest payment and redemption value</em>

The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:

Step 1

<em>PV of interest payment</em>

coupon rate - 12%, yield - 8%, years to maturity- 10 years

Semi-annual coupon rate = 12%/2 = 6%

Semi-annual Interest payment =( 6%×$1000)= $60

Semi annual yield = 8%/2 = 4%

PV of interest payment

= A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- interest payment, r- yield - 4%, n- no of periods- 2 × 10 = 20periods

= 60× (1-(1.04)^(-10×2))/0.04)

= 60× 13.59032634

=$815.41

Step 2

<em>PV of redemption value (RV)</em>

PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)

RV - redemption value- $1000, n- 2×10 r- 4%

= 1,000 × (1+0.04)^(-2×10)

= $456.38

Step 3

<em>Price of bond = PV of interest payment + PV of RV</em>

= $815.41 + $456.38

= $ 1,271.81

Expected selling price =$ 1,271.81
