A year ago, Phyllis Peterson purchased 100 shares of Fidelity's Contrafund for $50 each. During the year, her total return from

Y_Kistochka [10]

Phyllis' RATE (percentage) of return is 7 percent

<u>Explanation:</u>

Data provided in the question:

Purchase price for each share = $50

Dividend received = $1 per share

worth of shares at the end of year = $52.50

Thus, total return on the share = dividend received plus worth of sahres at the end of year minus purchase price

= $1 plus $52.50 minus $50 = $3.5

Therfore, rate of return = [ total return on the shares by purchase price ] into 100%

= [$3.5 by $50] inot 100 percent

= 7 percent

hence, the option with 7 percent will be the correct answer.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Bond Price = $563,333.90007 rounded off to $563,333.90

Bond Price = $502500

Bond Price = $437232.16025 rounded off to $437232.16

Explanation:

To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, which is the present value of the bond, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is a semi annual bond, we will use the semi annual coupon payment, semi annual number of periods and semi annual YTM. The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

a. Case A: Market interest rate (annual): 4 percent

Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075

Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14

r or YTM = 4% * 6/12 = 0.02 or 2%

Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.02)^-14) / 0.02] + 502500 / (1+0.02)^14

Bond Price = $563,333.90007 rounded off to $563,333.90

b. Case B: Market interest rate (annual): 6 percent

Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075

Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14

r or YTM = 6% * 6/12 = 0.03 or 3%

Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.03)^-14) / 0.03] + 502500 / (1+0.03)^14

Bond Price = $502500

c. Case C: Market interest rate (annual): 8.5 percent.

Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075

Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14

r or YTM = 8.5% * 6/12 = 0.0425 or 4.25%

Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.0425)^-14) / 0.0425] + 502500/(1+0.0425)^14

Bond Price = $437232.16025 rounded off to $437232.16
