Answer:

a.

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

b.

Bond Price  = $502500

c.

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

You can spend $100 on either a new economics textbook or a new CD player. If you choose to buy the new economics textbook, the o
Fed [463]

Answer: Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of new economics textbook = $100

Cost of new CD player = $100

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

As the cost of both the products are identical, so the opportunity cost of buying new economics textbook is the enjoyment of the new CD player.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

The land basis will be $8,000 and partnership basis will be $42,000.

Explanation:

The outside basis at the end of the year is $56,000.

The cash basis is $6,000.

The fair value of land is $14,000.

The land basis to RF is $8000.

The partnership basis will be

=Outside basis-cash basis-land basis

=$(56,000-6,000-8,000)

=$42,000.

So, the land basis will be $8,000 and partnership basis will be $42,000.
