Answer:
When using a financial calculator to compute the issue price of the bonds, the applicable periodic interest rate ("I") is 3.923%
Explanation:
Hi, first, the discount interest rate that you have to choose is 8%, because 9% is the coupon rate (which in our case would be 9%/2=4.5% and this is used only to find the amount to be paid semi-annually).
Now we know we have to choose 8%, but this is an effective rate (I know this is an effective rate because no units were mentioned), and by definition it is a periodic rate, but it is not the rate that we need since the payments are going to be made in a semi-annual way, therefore we need to use the following equation.
![r(semi-annual)=[1+r(annual)]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%28semi-annual%29%3D%5B1%2Br%28annual%29%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%7D%20-1)
So, everything should look like this.
![r(semi-annual)=[1+0.08]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.03923](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%28semi-annual%29%3D%5B1%2B0.08%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%7D%20-1%3D0.03923)
Therefore, the periodic interest that yuo have to use to calculate the price of the bond is 3.923%
Best of luck.
Answer:
17.27 years
Explanation:
For this question we use the NPER formula that is shown on the attachment below:
Provided that
Present value = $340,000
Future value = $25,000
PMT = $35,000
Rate of interest = 7.5%
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(Rate;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this, the number of year is 17.27 years
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the limit to the amount a person can be insured for is, $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank.
That means that Tony's account at a balance of $120,712 is covered completely as it is well below $250,000.
Their Joint account is also completely covered at $60,099.
Cynthia however does not have complete coverage as her bank account exceeds to the coverage limit by $3,629 which will not be covered.
Should be noted that should she transfer this excess to the joint account then she should be fully covered.
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question is option B) .
Explanation:
Crowding effect refers to a situation where due to the increase in interest, there is a decrease in investment ( private investment spending ), which in turn leads to decrease in initial increase in investment. Here the interest rate have increased because of the expansionary fiscal policy implemented by the government, where they have increased their spending. A high magnitude of crowding effect can lead to decrease in the money supply in economy.
From what I understood in the problem, the total budget that covers all types of media is only $1,000 per month. For the allocation, each type of media would get at least 25% of the budget. If we infer on this information, there should only be 4 types of media, at least. This is because four 25% portions would equal to 100%. If it exceeds 25% for each of the four types, it would be over the $1000 budget. With that being said, it is also possible that there will be 3 or 2 types of media. Nevertheless, let's just stick to the least assumption of 25% for each of the 4 types.
If local newspaper advertising is one of the four types, then:
$1000(25%) = $250
It would get $250 from the overall budget.
