Answer:

Ans. YTM=8.9805%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, first we need to determine the coupon for every semester and construct a table in order to use the "IRR" function of microsoft excel. Everything should look like this.

face value       $1.000  

Price                $1.100  

time                               15 years to maturity

coupon                     10% annual

                              5% semi annual

coupon(semi anual)   $50  

 

0 -$1.100    

1  $50    

2  $50    

3  $50    

4  $50    

5  $50    

6  $50    

7  $50    

8  $50    

9  $50    

10  $50    

11  $50    

12  $50    

13  $50    

14  $50    

15  $50    

16  $50    

17  $50    

18  $50    

19  $50    

20  $50    

21  $50    

22  $50    

23  $50    

24  $50    

25  $50    

26  $50    

27  $50    

28  $50    

29  $50    

30  $1.050    

There are 30 periods since the coupon is to be paid semi annually, the coupon is calculated as follows.

Coupon=FaceValue(\frac{Coupon Rate(annual)}{2} )=1000\frac{0.1}{2} =50

Notice that the value of period 0 is -1100, corresponds to the amount of money paid for the bond and is negative because, well, we paid for it. This is very important because when you use the IRR formula of MS Excel, it requires at least 1 change of sign to work properly.

So the answer at this point is 4.3937% but remember that the cash flow took place in a semi-annual fashion, therefore, we have to make it annual, this is the math to that.

YTM(annual)=(1+YTM(semi annual))^{2} -1=(1+0.043937)^{2} -1=8.9805% annual

Best of luck.

Which of the following points is in the solution set of y > -x2 + 5? (0, 5) (1, 3) (2, 4)
mylen [45]

Answer:

(2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The only point that satisfies the inequality is (2, 4).

(0, 5) : -0^2 +5 = 5 . . . . . not > 5

(1, 3) : -1^2 +5 = 4 . . . . . . 3 is not > 4

(2, 4) : -2^2 +5 = 1 . . . . . . 4 is greater than 1, so this point is in the solution set.

Factor 6x4 – 5x2 + 12x2 – 10 by grouping. What is the resulting expression?
lisov135 [29]
Your answer would be the last option, (6x² - 5)(x² + 2).
This is because when you expand it, you get:
6x² × x² = 6x⁴
6x² × 2 = 12x²
-5 × x² = -5x²
-5 × 2 = -10
Which are all the correct terms.

I hope this helps!
