Consider an investor who, on January 1, 2019, purchases a TIPS bond with an original principal of $116,000, an 10 percent annual

(or 5 percent semiannual) coupon rate, and 15 years to maturity. a. If the semiannual inflation rate during the first six months is 0.4 percent, calculate the principal amount used to determine the first coupon payment and the first coupon payment (paid on June 30, 2019). b. From your answer to part a, calculate the inflation-adjusted principal at the beginning of the second six months. c. Suppose that the semiannual inflation rate for the second six-month period is 1.0 percent. Calculate the inflation-adjusted principal at the end of the second six months (on December 31, 2019) and the coupon payment to the investor for the second six-month period.

Answer:

(a) $5,823.20

(b) $116,464.

(c) $5,881.43.

Explanation:

Given that,

Original principal = $116,000

Interest rate = 0.5% semi-annual

Time period = 10 years

Inflation rate = 0.4% semi-annual

(b) Inflation adjusted premium at the end of 6 months on June 30,2019:

= Original principal × Semi-annual inflation rate

= $116,000 × (1 + 0.004)

= $116,464.

Therefore, the inflation adjust principal at the beginning of six months is $116,464.

(a) First coupon payment paid on June 30,2019:

= inflation adjust principal × Interest rate

= $116,464 × 0.05

= $5,823.20

(c) Inflation adjusted premium at the end of 6 months on December 31,2019:

= Principal in June 30,2019 × Semi-annual inflation rate

= $116,464 × (1 + 0.01)

= $117,628.64.

Coupon payment on December 31,2019:

= Inflation adjusted premium × Interest rate

= $117,628.64 × 0.05

= $5,881.43.

= $37,000 × 0.74 × 9.8181 × 1.08

= $290,325

c). According to the analysis, $290,325 is more than the $273,402, So he should be chooses option (b) $290,325 as a payout option.

A member firm receives a large block order to buy 100,000 shares of XYZ stock, which is not actively traded. Which customer(s) o
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Other customers of the firm who place buy orders, if the firm has information barriers in place.

Explanation:

FINRA has strict rules against front running, and this is the process by which interested parties place orders for shares beforehand because they have insider information on how a share is going to perform in the future.

This rule is binding on any registered representative.

However if the firm has information barriers in place, any other customers that places a buy order will be assumed not to have insider knowledge of the share's expected performance. The FINRA rule is not binding on them.

(1 point) Why does the journalist think Enron's stock is overvalued?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I provided some explanation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Note, in the stock/asset trading market, the term <em>'stock/asset is overvalued' </em>is used when the worth of a particular asset or stock is overestimated; in other words having a stock price that is too high considering the projects/company's usefulness.

Hence, the journalist's comments may have been based on this observation.

Your manager wants to add more client pcs to an office, but there are not enough ports available. what device should be added to
Ivan

When the manager wants to add more client pcs to an office, but there are not enough ports available, a powerline adapter should be added to resolve the issue.

Using the electrical cabling, a powerline adaptor connects your computer to the internet. A powerline adaptor allows you to genuinely benefit from both worlds. Because a powerline adaptor still uses an Ethernet cable, albeit to a lesser extent, it is sometimes referred to as a powerline-Ethernet adaptor. Powerline adapters will function to connect your gaming computer or console to high-speed Internet, but they are not the greatest choice. It is advantageous that powerline adapters have lower latency than Wi-Fi. In contrast to their alternatives, they don't have the same level of dependability or quickness.
