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%

Which of the following is a correct description of the crowding-out effect of deficit spending?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

the options are missing, so I looked for them:

a. The buying of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

c. The selling of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

d. The buying of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

the answer is:

b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

Explanation:

The crowding out effect happens when the government increases its spending level in order to engage in an expansionary fiscal policy but someone needs to pay for this extra spending. In order for the government to finance their spending, they have to choose to either increase taxes or issue more debt. When they issue more debt, they end up decreasing private investment since money that could be used by private companies is used by the government instead.
