2 answers:

Just like in math, floor means to round down (minimum), ceiling means to round up (maximum).

The only one that'd make sense would be the first statement.

Answer: The answer is A price floor is the minimum price allowed for a good. A price ceiling is the maximum price allowed for a good.

Explanation:

A price floor refers to the minimum price of a good or product. It is a price control which limits the lowest price of a product or service.

A price ceiling refers to the maximum price of a good. It is the price a seller is mandated to charge for a product or service. Government impose price ceiling in order to protect consumers from buying at higher or expensive prices.

A stock has an expected return of 15.0 percent, its beta is 0.90, and the risk-free rate is 5.3 percent. What must the expected

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

16.07%

Explanation:

The computation of the expected return on the market is shown below

As we know that

Expected Return on stock = Risk free return + beta ( Expected Market Rate of Return - Risk free return )

15 % = 5.3% + 0.90 × (Expected Market Rate of Return - 5.3%)

15 % - 5.3% ÷ 0.90 = Expected Market Rate of Return - 5.3%

10.77% = Expected Market Rate of Return - 5.3 %

So, expected market rate of return is

= 10.77 + 5.3%

= 16.07%

We simply applied the above formula

Workman Software has 8.8 percent coupon bonds on the market with 19 years to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments and cu

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

current yield 8.2089552%

YTM = 8.05%

effective annual yield = 4.92%

Explanation:

(A)

current yield = C/P

coupon payment / market price

8.8/107.2 = 0.082089552 = 8.2089552%

(B)

$P = \frac{C}{2} \times\frac{1-(1+YTM/2)^{-2t} }{YTM/2} + \frac{CP}{(1+YTM/2)^{2t}}$

First par being the present value of the coupon payment and second the redeem of the face value at the end of the bond.

market price 107.2

face value 100

time = 19

rate 8.8%

C = annual coupon payment 100 x 8.8% = 8.8

You solve this using a financial calculation and get the semiannual rate

YTM/2 = 0.040268160

then multiply by 2 to get the annual YTM

0.040268160 x 2 =

YTM = 0.08053632 = 8.05%

(C)

Effective Annual Yield

$(1+HPR)^{365/time} -1 = EAY$

where:

Holding period return:

$\frac{Net \: Return}{Investment} = HPR$

In this case:

coupon payment + redem - investment = net return

8.8 * 19 + 100 - 107.2 = 160

160/107.2 = 1.492537313

Then

$(1+HPR)^{365/time} -1 = EAY$

$(1+1.142537313)^{\frac{365}{19\times365}} -1 = EAY$

EAY = 0.049242509 = 4.9242509%
