When we read a visual text, we look for certain conventions to help us:

Suppose that the term structure is currently flat so that bonds of all maturities have yields to maturity of 10%. Currently a 5-

laila [671]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) PV=$1000

As price is equal to face value then the Coupon rate will be equal to its YTM, 10%.

Annual Coupons = 10% * 1000 = $100

b.) We have purchased the bond for $1000, so our investment is $1000

At the end of the year 1, we get a coupon of $100 and the selling price.

1st CASE - When monetary policy is tight.

New YTM = 12%

Time left to maturity (n) = 4 years

Coupon payment = $100

Price = Coupon payment X PVAF(YTM, n) + Face Value X PVF(YTM, n)

[USE TABLES or Financial calculator]

Price = 100 X PVAF(12%, 4) + 1000 X PVF(12%, 4) = 100 X 3.307 + 1000 X .636 = 303.7 + 636 = $939.7

If we sell the bond, Return = (Coupon Received + Selling price - Purchase price ) \div Purchase price

= (100 + 939.7 - 1000) \div 1000 = .0397 or 3.97%

Scenario 2 - When monetory policy is loose

New YTM = 8%

Time left to maturity (n) = 4 years

Coupon payment = $100

Therefore, Price = Coupon payment X PVAF(YTM, n) + Face Value X PVF(YTM, n)

Price = 100 X PVAF(8%, 4) + 1000 X PVF(8%, 4) = 100 X 3.312 + 1000 X .735 = 331.2 + 735 = $1066.2

If we sell the bond, Return = (Coupon Received + Selling price - Purchase price ) \div Purchase price

= (100 + 1066.2 - 1000) \div 1000 = .1662 or 16.62%

In the study of geomorphology, why do we primarily concentrate on processes rather than on distribution patterns by latitude?

4vir4ik [10]

In the study of geomorphology, processes like weathering and erosion are key to how the rocks will be sculpted by natural forces to produce interesting landforms like buttes and mesas for example. The distribution of geomorphological features like say the Amazon River by latitude is important but the process that shaped the landforms is more important as to how it got its present configuration.

If a firm in a monopolistically competitive market lowers price, then Use letters in alphabetical order to select options

Valentin [98]

Answer: quantity demanded for the good will increase (D)

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition is an imperfect competition where there are many producers that sell products that are differentiated from each another e.g through quality or branding.

In a monopolistic competitive market, firms maximizes profits when marginal revenue equals to the marginal cost. The demand curve of a monopolistic competitive market is downward sloping which means that as price reduces, the quantity demanded for the good will increase.
