5 0

Answer:

6%

Explanation:

Data provided as per question is as given below:-

Redeemed amount = $1,000

Sale value of Bond = $687.25

Number of year = 5

The computation of interest rate is as shown below:-

Interest rate = (Redeemed amount ÷ Sale value of bond) ^ (1 ÷ Number of Year) - 1

= (1,000 ÷ 747.25) ^ (1 ÷ 5) - 1

= (1.338) ^ (0.2) - 1

= 0.06

= 6%

A financial institution has entered into an interest rate swap with company X. Under the terms of the swap, it receives 10% per
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The loss of the financial institution is $413,000

Explanation:

Let's say that after 3 years the financial institution will receive:

0.5 * 10% of $10million

= 0.5 * 0.1 * 10000000

= $500,000

Then, they will pay 0.5 * 9% of $10M

= 0.5 * 0.09 * 10000000

= $450,000

Therefore, their immediate loss would be $500000 - $450000

= $50000.

Let's assume that forward rates are realized to value the rest of the swap.

The forward rates = 8% per annum.

Therefore, the remaining cash flows are assumed that floating payment is

0.5*0.08*10000000 =

$400,000

Received net payment would be:

500,000-400,000= $100,000. The total cost of default is therefore the cost of foregoing the following cash flows:

Year 3=$50,000

Year 3.5=$100,000

Year 4 = $100,000

Year 4.5= $100,000

Year 5 = $100,000

Discounting these cash flows to year 3 at 4% per six months, the cost of default would be $413,000

guapka [62]

Answer: $85,000

Explanation:

Drawings are debited/deducted from the Equity account to reflect that the owner's holdings in the business has reduced.

Profit is added to the Equity account in the form of Retained Earnings.

The closing Balance on Equity is;

Closing Balance = Opening Balance + Profit - Drawings

Profit = Closing Balance - Opening Balance + Drawings

Profit = 175,000 - 120,000 + 30,000

Profit = $85,000
