An investor has two bonds in her portfolio, Bond C and Bond Z. Each bond matures in 4 years, has a face value of $1,000, and has

a yield to maturity of 8.9%. Bond C pays a 10% annual coupon, while Bond Z is a zero coupon bond. Assuming that the yield to maturity of each bond remains at 8.9% over the next 4 years, calculate the price of the bonds at each of the following years to maturity.

Answer:

Years to maturity       Price of Bond C            Price of Bond Z

         4                               $1,084.42                       $711.03

         3                               $1,065.93                       $774.31

         2                               $1,045.80                      $843.23

         1                                $1,023.88                       $918.27

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel for the calculations of the prices of Bond C and Bond Z.

The price of each bond of the bond can be calculated using the following excel function:

Bond price = -PV(rate, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)

Where;

rate = Yield to maturity of each of the bonds

NPER = Years to maturity

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value

FV = Face value

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1) for each of the Years to Maturity and inputting them into relevant cells in the attached excel sheet, we have:

Years to maturity       Price of Bond C            Price of Bond Z

         4                               $1,084.42                       $711.03

         3                               $1,065.93                       $774.31

         2                               $1,045.80                      $843.23

         1                                $1,023.88                       $918.27

You plan to invest in bonds that pay 6.0%, compounded annually. If you invest $10,000 today, how many years will it take for you
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The answer is 16 years.

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the value of an investment that is compounded annually is given by:

V(n)=(1+R)^nP

Where:

n is the number of years the investment is compounded,

R is the annual interest rate,

P is the principal investment.

We know the following:

25000=(1+0.06)^n \times 10000

And we want to clear the value <em>n</em> from the equation.

The problem can be resolved as follows.

<u>First step:</u> divide each member of the equation by 10,000:

\frac{ 25000}{10000}=(1+0.06)^n \times \frac{ 10000}{10000}

2.5=(1.06)^n

<u>Second step:</u> apply logarithms to both members of the equation:

log(2.5)=log (1.06)^n

<u>Third step:</u> apply the logarithmic property logA^n=n.logA in the second member of the equation:

log(2.5)=n.log (1.06)

Fourth step: divide both members of the equation by log1.06

\frac{log(2.50)}{log (1.06)} =n

n= 15.7252

We can round up the number and conclude that it will take 16 years for $10,000 invested today in bonds that pay 6% interest compounded annually, to grow to $25,000.

The most complex level of culture is the culture trait.
xeze [42]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Culture trait is the simplest level of culture. It is an individual tool, act, or belief that is related to a particular situation or need. Using spoons and forks when eating is a culture trait. Another trait is the specific greeting used when meeting people. If you meet a pal, you probably say, “Hello”. On the other hand, when greeting the company's manager you would probably be quite formal. The greeting you use is related to the particular situation or need.

So, Individual culture traits combine to form the next level – culture complexes.

And culture complexes combine to form larger levels called culture patterns. These patterns form important components of a society’s culture.
