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.

Credit Card #1
o-na [289]

Based on the information given, it can be deduced that the annual percentage rate (APR) is 24%.

The annual percentage rate simply means the yearly interest that's generated by a sum that's charged to a borrower. In this case, the APR is 24% after 6 months.

Also, the credit cards that have an annual fee will be credit card 2 and 3. It can also be deduced that the grace period is the same for the three credit cards while credit 3 has a membership.

If one pays the credit card bill on time and the balance each month, the best credit card is credit card 1. Lastly, when one has a balance from time to time credit card 1 is still the best.
