Answer:
Future value (FV) = $57,908
Present value (PV) = $8,860
Number of years (n) = 18 years
Interest rate = ?
FV = PV(1 + r)n
$57,908 = $8,860(1 + r)18
$57,908 = $8,860(1 + r)18
<u>$57,908</u> = (1 + r)18
$8,860
6.535891648 = (1 + r)18
18√6.535891648 = 1 + r
1.10993 - 1 = r
r = 0.10992 = 10.99%
Explanation:
In this case, we will apply the future value of a lump sum (single investment) formula. The present value, future value and number of years are given with the exception of interest rate. Thus, interest rate is made the subject of the formula.

Answer:
Explanation:
a)
The YTM of the bond at par value is equals to its coupon rate, 8.75%. Other things being equal, this 4% coupon rate bond will be more eye-catching as the coupon rate is lower than the current market yields, and its price is far below the call price. So, if yields drop, capital gains on the bond will not be restricted by the call price.
b)
If an investor foresees that yields will fall considerably, the 4% bond proposes a better expected return.
c)
Implicit call protection is offered in the sense that any likely fall in yields would not be nearly enough to make the firm consider calling the bond. In this sense, the call feature is almost irrelevant
Answer:Yes, the Manager made an error.
Explanation:
Increasing the revenue of a firm depends on two factors which are price and effective demand. An increase in price without a fall in demand will increase revenue, an increase in demand without a fall in price will equally increase revenue.
However when manipulating price only in order to increase revenue care must be taken to ensure same or higher level of demand for an increase in price which lead to a fall in demand may boomerang for the firm.
E.g
Year. $ Price. Demand. Revenue$
1. 5. 100. 500
2. 6. 80. 480
The above illustrate an increase in price without a rise or maintaining the same level of demand leads fall in revenue.
