A $ 5000 bond with a coupon rate of 6.7​% paid semiannually has eight years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 7.8​%. If int
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

As a result of an increase in the YTM, the price of the bond will fall $4677.19 from to $4593.67

Explanation:

The bonds are valued or priced based on the present value of annuity of interest payments and the present value of the principal. Based on the YTM of 7.8% the bonds are priced at,

coupon payment = 5000 * 0.067 *1/2  =  $167.5

Semiannual YTM = 7.8 *0.5  =  3.9%

Semi annual periods to maturity = 8 * 2  =  16 periods

Old Price = 167.5 * [( 1 - (1 + 0.039)^-16  + 5000 / (1+0.039)^16

Old Price = $4677.19

New semiannual YTM = 8.1% / 2  =  4.05%

New Price = 167.5 * [( 1 - (1+0.0405)^-16) / 0.0405] + 5000 / 1.0405^16

New Price = $4593.67

An investor purchased 100 shares of stock X at \small 6\frac{1}{8} dollars per share and sold them all a year later at 24 dollar
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

option (C) 280%

Explanation:

Number of shares of stock X purchased = 100

Purchasing cost of share = \$6\frac{1}{8} =\frac{49}{8}

Selling cost of stocks = $24 per share

Brokerage paid = 2%

Now,

The total purchasing cost involved = 100\times\frac{49}{8} + 2% of 100\times\frac{49}{8}

= 612.5 + 0.02 × 612.5

= $624.75

also,

Total income from sales of stocks

= Total selling cost of shares - brokerage paid

= $24 × 100 - 2% of Total selling cost

= $2400 - ( 0.02 × $2400 )

= $2400 - $48

= $2,352

now,

The investor's percent gain on this investment = \frac{\textup{Income-invested amount}}{\textup{Invested amount}}\times100\%

= \frac{\textup{2,352 - 624.75}}{\textup{624.75}}\times100\%

= \frac{\textup{1727.25}}{\textup{624.75}}\times100\%

= 276.47% ≈ 280%

Hence, the correct answer is option (C) 280%
