Answer:

a. 96.87%

b. 0.08%

c. 1.79%

d. Please read the explanation below.

Explanation:

a. Number of compounding period (t) = 1

Yield to maturity = 3.23%

Assume the face value of Zero compund bond is 1.000.

Calculate the price

Price = Face Value / (1+YTM)^t

= 1.000/(1+0.323)^1

=968.71

Price expressed as a % to face value = Price / Face Value * 100 = 96.87%

b. Credit spread = Yield of AAA - Yield of treasury bond = 4.94% - 3.15%= 0.08%

c. Credit spread = Yield of B - Yield of treasury bond

= 4-94% - 3.15%

=1.79%

D. The credit rating a bond changes with its corresponding change in the credit risk. That means higher the risk, lower will be the rating of the bond and vice versa.

The investors demand for higher return on risky bonds for undertaking additional risk. Therefore, the credit spread widens as the bonds rating falls with an increase in the risk.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic​ growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.

Explanation:

According to the New Growth Theory, it is both human desire and capital the factors that drive economic growth the most.

A literate population that does not read a lot means a lower level of human capital for Brazil, which in turn means that Brazil has a lower potential for economic growth. In order to increase economic growth, the Brazilian government should promote readership among its population.

Ket [755]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.
