Bond J has a coupon of 7.6 percent. Bond K has a coupon of 11.6 percent. Both bonds have 12 years to maturity and have a YTM of

8.2 percent. a. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2.2 percent, what is the percentage price change of these bonds? (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) b.

Answer:

Bond J has a coupon of 7.6%  

Bond K has a coupon of 11.6%

12 years to maturity and YTM of 8.2%

first we must determine the current market price of both bonds using the yield to maturity formula:

YTM = {C + [(FV - PV) / n]} /  [(FV + PV) / 2]

  • YTM = 8.2%
  • C = coupon payment = $76 and $116
  • FV = face value or value at maturity = $1,000
  • PV = present value or current market value = ???
  • n = 12 years

current market value of Bond J:

0.082 = {76 + [(1,000 - PV) / 12]} /  [(1,000 + PV) / 2]

[(1,000 + PV) / 2]  x 0.082 = 76 + [(1,000 - PV) / 12]

41 + 0.041PV = 76 + 83.33 - 0.083PV

0.124PV = 118.33

PV = 118.33 / 0.124 = $954.27

current market value of Bond K:

41 + 0.041PV = 116 + 83.33 - 0.083PV

0.124PV = 158.33

PV = 158.33 / 0.124 = $1,276.85

a. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2.2 percent, what is the percentage price change of these bonds?

YTM = {C + [(FV - PV) / n]} /  [(FV + PV) / 2]

  • YTM = 8.2% + 2.2% = 10.4%
  • C = coupon payment = $76 and $116
  • FV = face value or value at maturity = $1,000
  • PV = present value or current market value = ???
  • n = 12 years

market value of Bond J:

0.102 = {76 + [(1,000 - PV) / 12]} /  [(1,000 + PV) / 2]

[(1,000 + PV) / 2]  x 0.102 = 76 + [(1,000 - PV) / 12]

102 + 0.051PV = 76 + 83.33 - 0.083PV

0.134PV = 157.33

PV = 57.33 / 0.134 = $427.84

market value of Bond K:

102 + 0.051PV = 116 + 83.33 - 0.083PV

0.134PV = 97.33

PV = 97.33 / 0.134 = $726.34

Bond J's market price will decrease by ($427.84 - $954.27) / $954.27 = -55.17%

Bond K's market price will decrease by ($726.34 - $1,276.85) / $1,276.85 = -43.11%

b. If interest rates suddenly fall by 2.2 percent, what is the percentage price change of these bonds?

YTM = {C + [(FV - PV) / n]} /  [(FV + PV) / 2]

  • YTM = 6%
  • C = coupon payment = $76 and $116
  • FV = face value or value at maturity = $1,000
  • PV = present value or current market value = ???
  • n = 12 years

current market value of Bond J:

0.06 = {76 + [(1,000 - PV) / 12]} /  [(1,000 + PV) / 2]

[(1,000 + PV) / 2]  x 0.06 = 76 + [(1,000 - PV) / 12]

30 + 0.030PV = 76 + 83.33 - 0.083PV

0.113PV = 129.33

PV = 129.33 / 0.113 = $1,144.51

current market value of Bond K:

30 + 0.030PV = 116 + 83.33 - 0.083PV

0.113PV = 169.33

PV = 169.33 / 0.113 = $1,498.50

Bond J's market price will increase by ($1,144.51 - $954.27) / $954.27 = 19.94%

Bond K's market price will increase by ($1,498.50 - $1,276.85) / $1,276.85 = 17.36%

If the interest rate on a savings account is 0.018%, approximately how much money do you need to keep in this account for 1 year
d1i1m1o1n [39]
The answer to this question would be: <span>A. $55,555
</span>In this question, the interest rate is 0.018% and you need to have $9.99 interest. That mean, you need to divide the target interest value with the current interest rate. The equation should be:

interest = bank account * interest rate
$9.99 = bank account * 0.018%
bank account = $9.99/ 0.018%   (don't forget the % mean 1/100)
bank account = $55,500

If we assume that the $9.99 value is $9.99... then the answer would be $55,555

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: $5960

Explanation:

Based on the analysis and the information provided in the question, the amount of taxes that Tim can deduct as an itemized deduction will be the addition of the Tim's state income tax return for the previous year, the state tax that was held during the year and the estimated state tax payment. This will be:

= $740 + $4200 + $1020

= $5960

Therefore, the amount of taxes that Tim can deduct as an itemized deduction will be $5960.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The increase in operating profit is $1,829.00.

Explanation:

The rise or fall in the operating income:

= Purchase unit × ( offer price- direct material- direct labor- variable overhead)

The rise or fall in the operating income: = 1550× (2 - 0.26 - 0.4 - 0.16)

The rise or fall in the operating income: = $1829

Therefore the profit will increase by $1829

Here all the fixed cost is not considered because it is a sunk cost and variable and administrative expenses are also not considered because these costs are not going to be incurred for offer.
