Answer:

Explanation:

a. If you believe that the term structure next year will be the same as today’s, calculate the return on (i) the 1-year zero and (ii) the 4-year zero.

b. Which bond provides a greater expected 1-year return? O 1-year zero-coupon bond O 4-year zero-coupon bond

The return on one year bond is = 5.2%

The price of 4 year bond today

=\frac{ 1000}{ (1.055)^4}

Price of 4 year bond today = 807.22

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be

=\frac{  1000}{(1.054)^3}

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be = 854.04

Return

=\frac{ (854.04 - 807.22)}{807.22}

Return = 5.8%

The longer term bond has given the higher return in this case at it's YTM fell during the holding period(4 -year)

Examine the quarterly sales data in a little different way. Contruct two pie charts, one for sales in 2012 and the other for sal
julsineya [31]

Answer:

sales are becoming less seasonal

Explanation:

besides constructing a pie chart, we can also answer this question by percentages (which is more exact).

2012:

total sales = $69,338

Q1 sales = $10,613 / $69,338 = 15.31%

Q2 sales = $6,424 / $69,338 = 9.26%

Q3 sales = $19,283 / $69,338 = 27.81%

Q4 sales = $33,019 / $69,338 = 47.68%

2013:

total sales = $142,238

Q1 sales = $30,342 / $142,238 = 21.33%

Q2 sales = $33,867 / $142,238 = 23.81%

Q3 sales = $34,246 / $142,238 = 24.08%

Q4 sales = $43,783 / $142,238 = 30.78%

During 2012, almost 50% of total sales happened during Q4, something similar to selling toys which are extremely seasonal due to Christmas.

During 2013, this changed since Q4 sales only represent 30% of total sales. Sales increased during Q1 and Q2, and slightly decreased in Q3. They are much more similar now, since sales are almost evenly spread throughout the year.

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The price of the bond is closest  $101.36  

Explanation:

It is noteworthy that a rational investor pays for a bond today the cash flows derivable from the bonds in future discounted to today's terms.

The future cash flows comprise of the yearly coupon interest of $5.5(5.5% *$100) for 3 years as well as the repayment of the principal $100 at the end of year 3.

To bring the cash inflows today's term, we multiply them  them by the discounting factor 1/(1+r)^N , where is the yield to maturity of 5% and N is the relevant the cash flow is received.

The discounting is done in attached spreadsheet leading $ 101.36  present value today.
