Answer: The value of the bond will decrease

Explanation:

The Interest rate has a negative inverse relationship with the value of a bond . When the interest rate increases the value of a bond decreases and when interest rate decreases  the bond value increases. Bonds with low coupon rates tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes this is known has coupon effect.

Bonds with long time frame (long term bonds), they also  tend to be are more sensitive to changes in the interest rate this is known has the maturity effect.  Therefore a change in the interest rate will cause a huge change in the value of a Bond with low coupon rate and long time period.

The Bond is a 20 year Bonds which qualifies it to be a long term bond and the coupon Rate is 7%, with these facts and knowing that  long term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes we can conclude that the sudden increase of the interest rate to 15%  will cause a huge decrease in the value of the bond

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

b. the more wealth she has, the less utility she gets from an additional dollar of wealth.

Explanation:

Utility is the satisfaction derived from a good. Total Utility is the total satisfaction from all units of a good. Marginal Utility is the additional satisfaction from an additional unit of a good.

The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility states that : As consumer gets more & more of a good, the additional utility (satisfaction) from each successive unit keeps on declining. It implies that marginal utility decreases, & total utility increases at a decreasing rate.

Therefore : A person has more marginal utility (additional satisfaction) from an additional dollar, if he has less money (dollars). And, relatively less marginal utility from an additional dollar if he has more money (dollars).

Example : A rich person having millions of dollars would get less marginal utility (additional satisfaction) from gaining a single dollar, than a poor person having few dollars.

bonufazy [111]

First find the amount invested ie the Present Value as follows :

n = 25 × 2 = 50

i = 5%

P/yr = 2

Pmt = $0

Fv = $500,000

Pv = ?

Using a Financial Calculator to enter the amounts as above, the Present Value is $145,471

Total Interest = Future Value - Present Value

                      = $500,000 - $145,471

                      = $354,529

Thus interest is $354,500 (nearest hundred dollars).
