Answer:

$12.53

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Par value = $1,000

Coupon rate = 2.5%

Reference CPI = 204.89

Now CPI = 205.44

By considering the above information, the correct calculation of the current interest payment is

= Par value × Current CPI ÷ Reference CPI × Coupon rate ÷ 2

= $1,000 × 205.44 ÷ 204.89 × 2.5% ÷ 2

= $12.53

We assume the interest is on semi annual payments

Yuri [45]

Answer:

c. The price of Bond A will decrease over time, but the price of Bond B will increase over time

Explanation:

Bond A has a higher coupon rate than market thus, investor will accept to purchase the bond for a higher price until the YTM of this bond equals the market rate

Bond B is the opposite, is paying lower thus, will we purchase for less.

Making Bond A lower his price while B increases.

Roy Gross is considering an investment that pays 7.60 percent. How much will he have to invest today so that the investment will
Reptile [31]

Answer:

He has to invest $16,803.32 so that the investment will be worth $27,000 in six years with a 7.6% interest rate.

Explanation:

Year 6: 27,000

Year 5: 27,000 - (27,000 x 7.6 / 100) = 27,000 - 2,052 = $24,948

Year 4: 24,948 - (24,948 x 7.6 / 100) = 24,948 - 1,896.05 = $23,051.95

Year 3: 23,051.95 - (23,051.95 x 7.6 / 100) = 23,051.95 - 1,751.95 = $21,300

Year 2: 21,300 - (21,300 x 7.6 / 100) = 21,300 - 1,618.80 = $19,681.20

Year 1: 19,681.20 - (19,681.20 x 7.6 / 100) = 19,681.20 - 1,495.77 = $18,185.42

Year 0: 18,185.42 - (18,185.42 x 7.6 / 100) = 18,185.42 - 1,382.10 = $16,803.32
