I now have $23,000 in the bank earning interest of .50% per month. I need $33,000 to make a down payment on a house. I can save
an additional $100 per month. How long will it take me to accumulate the $33,000?
1 answer:
Answer:
41.92 months
Explanation:
In this question, we use the NPER formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.
The NPER represents the time period.
Given that,
Present value = $23,000
Future value = $33,000
Rate of interest = 0.50%
PMT = $100
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(Rate;-PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value and the PMT comes in negative
So, after solving this, the answer would be 41.92 months

Answer:
When the bond is sale at premium, it means the market rate is lower than coupon rate. So investor purchase the bond a higher price until the bond yield equal the market rate
If sold at discount, the market rate is higher than coupon rate. This means it's sold below face value to increase the bond yield to market rate.
YTM if market price is 887 = 10.7366190%
YTM if market price is 1,134.2= 7.1764596%
Explanation:
For the YTM we can calculate an estimated using the following formula:
Where:
C= coupon payment 1,000 x 9% = 90
F= face value of the bonds = 1000
P= market price = 887
n= years to maturity = 10
YTM = 10.7366190%
C= 90
F= 1000
P= 1134.2
n= 10
YTM = 7.1764596%
