Answer:

c. not affect the bond's duration.

Explanation:

The bond duration measures the sensitivity of a bond's price to change in the interest rate. It is a linear measure of those years in which the repayment of the principal is due. the change in interest rate does not affect the duration of the bond.

On the other hand decrease in interest rate would increase the bond's PV and Price of the bond as well.

Payment frequency would not change with the decrease interest rate.

The Coupon rate will also remain the same whether the interest rate increases or decreases.

At the start of football season, the ticket office gets very busy the day before the first game. Customers arrive at the rate of

ipn [44]

Answer:

(a) 3.2

(b) 10 minutes

Explanation:

Mean number of customer in service:

= Arrival rate ÷ service rate

= 24 in 60 min ÷ 30 in 60 min

= 24 ÷ 30

= 0.8

a) Average number of people in line:

= (Mean number of customer in service × arrival rate) ÷ (Service rate - arrival rate)

= 0.8 × (24 ÷ 6 )

= 3.2

b) Average time spend at the ticket office is = 10 minutes

c) Proportion of time server is busy:

= Arrival rate ÷ service rate

= (24 in 60 min ÷ 30 in 60 min)

= 24 ÷ 30

= 0.8

Toy Town is considering a new toy that will cost $49,100 in startup costs. The toy is expected to produce cash flows of $47,500

Tasya [4]

Answer:

NPV with a 14.9% discount rate: 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

IRR = 26.65%

Explanation:

First we calculate for the NPV using the given discount rate of 14.9%

We will calculate the present value of each year cash inflow:

$\frac{inflow}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Year 1 cash inflow: 47,500.00

time 1.00

rate 0.149

$\frac{47500}{(1 + 0.149)^{1} } = PV$

PV 41,340.30

Year 2 cash inflow: 18,600.00

time 2.00

rate 0.149

$\frac{18600}{(1 + 0.149)^{2} } = PV$

PV 14,088.76

Then, we add them and subtract the investment to get NPV

NPV = 14,088.76 + 41,340.3 - 49,100 = 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

Now for the IRR

That is the rate at which NPV equals zero we can solve for this using the quadratic equation as there are only two cash flow:

Year 1 will discount at (1+IRR)

Year 2 will be discount at (1+IRR )^2

So we can express and recreate the quadratic formula:

18,600 X^2 + 47,500 X - 49,500 = 0

A = 18,600

B = 47,500

C = -49,100

$x_1 = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}\\x_2 = \frac{-b -\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}$

We can solve and get:

x1 = 0.78957

x2 = -3.3433

We take the positive value.

and now solve for IRR

$\frac{1}{1+ IRR} = 0.78957\\IRR = \frac{1}{0.78957} -1$

IRR = 0,2665121 = 26.65%

This will be the IRR for the project.
