Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, we have the followed parameters;

The Face value=1,000 United States of America Dollar($); yield to maturity= fifteen(15) years; The bond = 7.125 percent (annual) coupon rate; payment for last year = $974.24.

First thing to do is to calculate the market value after one percent extra= 1%+7.125%= 8.125%

Next, we need to calculate the present value of 14 year coupon of 71.25 USD = 573.00+ 1,000/1+ 0.8125^14

=>573.00+322.15

= 895.15

Therefore, the price of the bond today is $ 895.15.

Wage year 4= $12222.19

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each additional year of education causes future wages to rise by 7 percent.

A person with 12 years of education makes ​$21 000 per​ year.

A person with 4 years of education=$?

We will use the present value formula to calculate the wage in year 0. Then with the final value formula calculate the year 4 wage.

PV= FV/[(1+r)^n]

FV=final value at t time

r= rate

n= period of time

PV= 21000/(1,07^12)= $9324. 2511

Final Value= PV*(1+r)^t

Final Value year 4= 9324.2511*(1,07^4)= $12222.19
