5 0

Answer:

some fixed assets have lost value over time

Explanation:

Depreciation is the decline in the value of an asset due to usage, corrosion, or wear and time. Some fixed assets, especially plants and machinery, equipment, and motor vehicles, will always depreciate in value as they age. Depreciation spreads the cost of an asset over many years. The depreciation amount is calculated and subtracted from the cost of the assets or book vales at the end of the financial year.

Corporate bond A has a 6 percent coupon and matures in 3 years. Corporate bond B has a 6 percent coupon and matures in 15 years.
babymother [125]

Answer:

New price of bond A = $986.76, this means that the price decreased by $13.24 or 1.32%.

New price of bond B = $952.99, this means that the price decreased by $47.01 or 4.7%.

Explanation:

Since the current market interest is 6%, then both coupons A and B are sold at face value. If the market interest increases to 6.5%, then

New price of bond A:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6.5%)³ = $827.85

PV of coupon payments = $60 x 2.64848 (PV annuity factor, 6.5%, 3 periods) = $158.91

New price of bond A = $986.76, this means that the price decreased by $13.24 or 1.32%.

New price of bond B:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6.5%)¹⁵ = $388.83

PV of coupon payments = $60 x 9.40267 (PV annuity factor, 6.5%, 3 periods) = $564.16

New price of bond B = $952.99, this means that the price decreased by $47.01 or 4.7%.
