Answer:

In order to find the present value of the bond we have to calculate the present value of investment A and subtract is from 1529. We can find the present value of A by discounting all its cash flows.

As the first cash flow is received today and the last will be received 3 years form now there will be a total of 4 cash flows

1) 218.19 (Will not be discounted as we are receiving it today in the present)

2) 218.19/1.0987 (Discount by 1 year as cash will be received in 1 year)

3) 218.19/1.0987^2 (Discount by 2 years as cash will be received in 2 years)

4) 218.19/ 1.0987^3 (Discount by 3 years as cash will be received in 3 years)

= 218.19 + 198.58 + 180.74+ 164.51 = 762.02

PV of Bond = 1529-762.09= 766.91

Semi annual coupons mean 2 payments a year. Bond B matures in 23 years which means a total of 46 payments (23*2). N=46. A coupon rate of 6.4 percent means that the bond pays $64 (0.064*1000) each year. $64 divided by 2 is 32 which is the amount of each semi annual payment Arjen receives. Pv= 766.91 FV = 1000

In a financial calculator put

PV= -766.91

N= 46

FV=1000

PMT= 32

and compute I

I is 4.38 and we will multiply it by 2 because the payments are semi annual. So we will get an I of 8.76

YTM= 0.0876

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

<u>Current Ratio :</u>

Camaro = 2.6

GTO = 3.5

Torino = 1.95

<u>Acid Test Ratio :</u>

Camaro = 1.3

GTO = 1.08

Torino = 0.84

Explanation:

The current ratio and acid-test ratio for each of the following separate cases will be as follows

Current ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

Camaro = 2.6

GTO = 3.5

Torino = 1.95

Acid Test Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) ÷ Current Liabilities

Camaro = 1.3

GTO = 1.08

Torino = 0.84

The government of Ruritania has implemented many programs that promote equality, but has become concerned about the very slow ra
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: b. reduce taxes and cut back on some social programs

Explanation:

When the Economy is not doing well, Social programs are usually targeted as they usually take a lot of money from the Government's coffers.

It is also a generally held view that reducing taxes as a Fiscal policy can help stimulate the Economy by leaving the public with more funds to invest in and spend on the Economy.

The Government of Ruritania is therefore most likely to combine reducing Social programs as well as reducing taxes. This will have the effect of leaving the Government with some money as it loses revenue from taxes whilst also enabling the public to have more money to invest and to spend which will then lead to Economic growth.

Giselle wants to buy a condo that has a purchase price of $163,000. Giselle earns $2,986 a month and wants to spend no more than
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

<u>Giselle should purchase points</u> to lower the interest rate of the mortage, this will make the cuota decrease.

Explanation:

163000 x20% = 32,600

163,000 - 32,600 = 130,040

current mortgage cuota:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C \times \frac{1-(1+0.0625/12)^{-30*12} }{0.0625/12} = 130,040\\

C= 800.68

800.68/ 2,986 = 0.2681 = 26.81%

this cuota exeeds the desired amount Giselle wants.

her couta can be as much as 2,986 x 25% = 746.5

<u>Giselle should purchase points</u> to lower the interest rate of the mortage, this will make the cuota decrease.
