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.

A ball of mass 0.4 kg flies through the air at low speed, so that air resistance is negligible. What is the net force acting on
arsen [322]

Answer:

-3.92 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mass of ball=0.4 kg

Acceleration due to gravity=-9.8m/s^2

Because the ball flies against to gravity

We have to find the net force acting on the ball while it is in motion.

We know that when there is no air resistance then the net  force acts on the ball is equal to weight of ball.

Net force,F =mg

Substitute the values then we get

F=0.4(-9.8)

F=-3.92N

Hence, the net force acting on the ball while it is on motion=-3.92 N
