vampirchik [111]

Answer:

$5,412,000

Explanation:

The semi annual interest = $20

Periods (n) till maturity are 10*2 = 20

Discounting rate is 12%/2 = 6%

Principal amount is $1,000

Market Value = 20 * PVIFA (20,6%) + 1,000 * PVIF (20,6%)

Market Value = 20 * 11.4699 + 1,000 * 0.3118

Market Value = 229.398 + 311.8

Market Value = 541.198

Market value = $541.20

Number of bonds = 10,000,000/1,000

Number of bonds = 10,000

Current market value = Number of bonds * Market value

Current market value = 10,000 * 541.20

Current market value = $5,412,000

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

1. a. 4.081%

2. c. $23,536.36

Explanation:

1. Periodic rate=(4.4%/4) = 1.1%

EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1

where m=compounding periods

= (1+0.044/4)^4-1

= 1.011^4 - 1

= 1.04473133864 - 1

= 0.04473133864

= 4.47%

EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1

where m=compounding periods

=(1+0.04/365)^365-1

= (1+0.00010958904)^365 - 1

= 1.00010958904^365 - 1

= 1.04080849272 - 1

= 0.04080849272

= 4.081%

2. A=P(1+r/365)^365*n

where  A=future value, P=present value, r=rate of interest, n=time period.

= 22000*(1+9%/365)^(9/12*365)

= $23,536.36
