B. has a price equal to the future value of the face amount given a positive rate of return.
C. can only be issued by the U.S. Treasury.
D. has less interest rate risk than a comparable coupon bond.
E. has a market price that is computed using semiannual compounding of interest.
Answer is : B
Explanation:
In classification of bonds we have a unique type of bond known as Zero-coupon bonds also know as Pure discount bonds, unlike traditional bonds they don’t pay coupon instead they are sold on discount basis and on maturity the bondholder receive a par value, for this reason the price will be at a discount on sale and on maturity be redeemed at par price showing a positive rate of return.
Answer:
No, Jim is not correct.
Explanation:
Betty will win this case.
Generally, the law encourages marriage as its policy. If there is any contract that prevent or restrict marriage in whatever way, such contract would be considered null and void because it is against the public policy.
Despite the above, contracts will be generally considered valid when they place reasonable restrictions on marriage. In this question, the restriction placed on Betty that she should get married until after her 22nd birthday is reasonable and has to be considered to be valid. Based on this, Betty has to be paid the $25,000 as laid down in the binding contract between the two parties.
Therefore, Jim is not correct.
Answer: An investment that matures in five years
Explanation:
Both investments may be of equal risks, but by virtue of having different maturity dates, they will not be priced the same.
This is because the discount rate (opportunity cost) will discount the maturity value more the longer the investment is such that the present value is lower.
4 year investment
= 1,000 / (1.068)^4
= $768.63
5 year investment
= 1,000 / (1.068)^5
= $719.69
The 5 year investment will have a lower present value and will be charged lower.

Answer:
Total $1,271.0564
Explanation:
We have bond of 10 years ago, so the bond is left with 5 years of life
<u>we need to calculate the present value ofthe cuopon payment:</u>
C 50 (1,000 x 5%)
time 10 (5 years 2 payment a year)
rate 0.02 (4% annual divide by 2 to get semiannually)
PV $449.1293
<u>and the present value of the principal</u>
Maturity 1000
time 5
rate 0.04
PV $821.9271
<u>We add both to get the present value ofthe bond</u>
PV c $449.1293
PV m $821.9271
Total $1,271.0564
