I would prefer Asset B
Explanation:
A risk averse investor is the one who prefers lower amount of returns with known or specific risks instead of the higher amount of returns with unknown risks. So, from among the various level of risks, the investor will be preferring the alternative with the least interest.
So, in this case,
In Asset A: pay a return of $2,000 and at 20% of time and the $500 at 80% of time.
In Asset B: pay a return of $1,000 and at 50% of time and the $600 at 50% of time.
So, I would prefer, Asset B as it has low return but have a known risk that is of 50 -50.
Answer:
(a) Dollar price of the bond = Par value × Current price percentage
= $1,000 × 106.124%
= $1,061.24
(b) Bond's current yield:
Annual interest paid in dollars = Bond par value × Rate of interest
= $1,000 × 7.8%
= $78


= 0.0734
= 7.34%
(c) Issue price of bond is $1,000 and current maturity price is $1,061.24. Thus, bond price is greater than the par value.
(d) Current yield is the return on bond at current price. Yield to maturity is 6.588 % and current yield is 7.34%. Since the current price is more than the par value, therefore, YTM is lower than the current yield.
