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.

Adam is 159 centimeters tall and casts a shadow 105 centimeters in height. If Cara is 140 centimeters tall, how many centimeters
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 12.55 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Adam                                  Cara

height = 159 cm                  height = 140 cm

shadow = 105 cm                shadow = x

Process

1.- To solve this problem use the Thales' theorem

         Cara's shadow / Cara's height = Adam's shadow / Adam's height

- Substitution

                                     x / 140 = 105 / 159

-Solve for x

                                     x = 105 (140) / 159

-Simplification

                                     x = 14700 / 159

                                     x = 92.45 cm

Cara's shadow is 92.45 cm long.

2.- If both shadows are in line, then Cara must walk forward

                105 - 92.45 cm

                12.55 cm

Pls help I don’t get any of them
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

28.   Area of the circle = πr^{2} where r is the radius of the circle.

       Given diameter = 14m, therefore radius = \frac{14}{2} = 7m

       Now area of the circle = 49\pi ^{2} or = 49 * 3.14 * 3.14 = 483.12m^{2}

29. Volume of cylinder = πr^{2}h = π*1.5^{2} * 3 = 6.75π cu. feet or 21.195 cu. feet

30. A ball resembles a sphere. Volume of the sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

      Given diameter = 30inches; Therefore, radius = 15 inches

 Now, Volume of the ball = \frac{4}{3} \pi 15^{3} = 4500π cu. inches or 14310 cu.inches

What is the equation for y=3x+5
VLD [36.1K]

The graph of  y = -3x+5

Step 1: Since the  y - intercept is 5, plot the point (0,5).

Step 2: Since the slope is -3, move 1 unit to the right and 3 units down, so plot the point (1,2).

Step 3: Connect those points by a straight line.
