1 answer:

6 0

The correct answer should be <span>B. The interest rate may change depending on the condition of the economy.

Fixed-rate mortgages keep the same rates as they were declared at the time of the contract signing, which can either be great for the person or the bank depending on the economy fluctuations. Variable-rate mortgages change based on the economy which means that the conditions are always kept to a certain standard.</span>

Choose the term that best matches the description given.

Maksim231197 [3]

Specific Goals are goals that are specific, and example would be “I want to go to the beach and meditiate” so you would make it specific by saying in detail how you would get there like “sub” goals. Realistic Goals is when you have a goal that can be achieved. I’m not sure what a planning goal is.

A random experiment with three outcomes has been repeated 50 times, and it was learned that E1 occurred 20 times, E2 occurred 13

enot [183]

Answer:

$P(E1)=\frac{20}{50}=0.4$

$P(E2)=\frac{13}{50}=0.26$

$P(E3)=\frac{13}{50}=0.34$

I used the relative frequency method

Explanation:

To solve this question we can use the relative frequency to find out each probability. The relative frequency is the ratio of the occurrence of each event and the total number of outcomes.

Here the experiment has been repeated 50 times, so that is the total number of outcomes and the denominator. There are 3 possible events E1, E2, and E3, so we can calculate the ratios to get the probabilities

Event E1 occurred 20 times of the 50: $P(E1)=\frac{20}{50}$

Event E2 occurred 13 times of the 50: $P(E2)=\frac{13}{50}$

Event E3 occurred 17 times of the 50: $P(E3)=\frac{17}{50}$

Andrej [43]

Here's the complete question:

An insurance company is analyzing the following three bonds, each with five years to maturity, and is using duration as its measure of interest rate risk:

a. $10,000 par value, coupon rate = 8%, rb = 0.10

b. $10,000 par value, coupon rate = 10%, rb = 0.10

c. $10,000 par value, coupon rate = 12%, rb = 0.10

What is the duration of each of the three bonds?

a. Duration on 8% coupon bond = 4.28 years

Year 1 ,2,3,4,5

CFs 800,800,800,800,10800

DCFs 727.27, 661.2, 601.05, 546.41 6705.95

PV=9241.84

Duration = <DCFs/PV

(7271+661.22+601.053+546.414+6705.95*5)/9241.84

=39568.1/9241.84

=4.2814

b. Duration on 10% coupon bond = 4.17 yearsc.

c. Duration on 12% coupon bond = 4.07 years
