A risk-free, zero-coupon bond with a $5000 face value has ten years to maturity. The bond currently trades at $3650. What is the
1 answer:
Answer:
The Yield to Maturity of the bond is YTM = 3.20%
Explanation:
Mathematically the Yield to Maturity of the bond YTM is as follows
Where C is the amount of payment to be made = $0
P is the price i.e the present value =$3650
F is the face value of the bond=$5000
n is the year of maturity of the bond = 10 years

(a) 0.96 m/s
The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:
The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:
The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so
And the wave speed is given by:
(b) 0.265 m
The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is
d = 0.53 m
The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is
(c) Amplitude: 0.15 m, wave speed: same as before
In this case, the amplitude of the wave would be lower. In fact,
d = 0.30 m
So the amplitude would be
Instead, the wave speed would not change, since neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the wave have changed.
