This one is tricky, only because you aren't sure if they are adding the percentage before you deposit 4,000 more, or after. Since both are annually.
But I would add 11,122.76 and 4,000 =15,122.76 add 12% which is 1814.73 making your total for the first year = 16,937.49.
Then assume it again, you add 4,000. That's 20,937.49
add 12% of 20,937.49 which is 2512.50 so that equals =23,449.99 by the end of year 2.
so add 4,000 again, that's 27,449.99
find 12% and add it to get =3294 add that to the total =30,743.99 by year 3.
(I'm sure they want you to round, which I keep doing with my decimals, but it'll probably go faster if you round ahead of time, but I'm trying to be accurate)
Keep going....
34,743.99 which 12% added is 4169 or a total of $38,912.99 by end of year 4.
add 4,000 to get =42,912.99 and 12% that's roughly a total of 48,063 rounded by the end of year 5.
52,063 at 12% 58,310 by year 6.
58,000 add 12% = 64,960 at end of year 7
68,960 add 12%= 77235 at year 8
81,235 add 12% =90,983 by year 9
94,983 add 12% =106,380 by year 10 (this is where you can assume that they'd want you to double it and it's be 20 years and 210,000. But in real math, the amount is increasing so much because it's 12% of the current balance)
123,626.56 year 11
142,942 by year 12
164,574 by year 13
188,803 by year 14
203, 939 by year 15
So you'd go over 210 by year 16.
Now again, this depends if they add the 12% before or after you deposit 4,000 each year. It also has to have an easier equation, but to be accurate I did it this way. I'm sure that they want you to do like x=years and you'd go 11,122.76+4,000 multiplied by 12% and then try different years to see the number you get until you'd come to 16.
Answer:
A) YTM = 7.64%
B) YTC = 7.36%
C) 8 years
D ) 7.64%
Explanation:
Annual coupon bond rate = 9%
number of year left until maturity = 18
par value of Bonds( FV ) = $1000
current market price( PV ) = $1130.35
Demed can call bonds in 8 years at a call price of $1060
A) what is the Bonds' YTM ( yield to maturity )
we calculate the interest per period ( PMT )
= ( Fv * Annual coupon bond rate) / number of compounding per year
= (1000 * 9% ) / 1 = $90
next we calculate number of compounding periods till maturity ( NPER )
= number of years to maturity * number of compounding per year
= 18 * 1 = 18
using excel formula = RATE ( NPER,PMT,PV,FV) )
hence yield to maturity = 7.64%
B) what is YTC ( yield to call )
we calculate the interest per period ( PMT )
= $1000 * ( coupon rate / number of compounding per year )
= $1000 * ( 9% / 1 ) = $90
next we calculate the number of compounding periods till sell
= 8 * 1 = 8
using excel formula = RATE ( NPER,PMT,PV,FV) )
Hence the YTC = 7.36%
C) Bonds will be called at 8 years and this is because the YTC is less than YTM
D ) The coupon rate for the bonds to be issued at par, is 7.64%
Answer:
Every business has a moral duty to be a good corporate citizen.
Explanation:
Businesses are formed to make profit, and this is the primary goal of businesses. So when making a business case for a company to act in a socially responsible manner, the benefit to the business as profits is the primary consideration.
If it is argued that every business has a moral duty to be a good corporate citizen, it does not translate to profits or benefit for the company.
So this is a weak argument when a business case is being created for why businesses should act in a socially responsible manner.
Answer:
The difference between two securities is 0.89%.
Explanation:
Inflation premium for the next three and five years:
Inflation premium (3) = (1.6% + 3.05% + 3.85%) ÷ 3
= 2.83%
Inflation premium (5) = (1.6% + 3.05% + 3.85% + 3.85% + 3.85%) ÷ 5
= 3.24%
Real risk-free rate = 2.35%
Since default premium and liquidity premium are zero on treasury bonds, we can now solve for the maturity risk premium:
Three-year Treasury securities = Real risk-free rate + Inflation premium (3) + MRP(3)
6.80% = 2.35% + 2.83% + MRP(3)
MRP (3) = 1.62%
Similarly,
5-year Treasury securities = Real risk-free rate + Inflation premium (5) + MRP(5)
8.10% = 2.35% + 3.24% + MRP(3)
MRP (5) = 2.51%
Thus,
MRP5 - MRP3 = 2.51% - 1.62%
= 0.89%
Therefore, the difference between two securities is 0.89%.
