This problem is solved by using the compound interest formula:
A=P(1+(I/period))^(number of periods)
Where A = amount accumulated and P = amount loaned and I = Interest
A = ? P = $2, 000, I = 0.115, Period = 2 (semi annually) Number of period = 2
*7 (I. e paid twice over a 7 yrs span)
So we have
A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.115/2)^(14)
A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.0575)^(14)
A = 2000 (1.0575)^(14)
A = 2000 (2.1873851765154) = 4374.77035
So we have 4374.80 to the nearest cent.
1) Answer: When the required return is equal to the coupon rate, the bond value is equal to the par value,
2) if the required return is less than the coupon rate the bond will sell at a premium.
Explanation:
1) The reason for this that the required return is the market or investors required rate of return for a particular bond, when the required rate and coupon rate are equal it means that the investor is getting the return he wants in coupon payments, therefore the investor will be willing to buy the bond on par value, as he is getting his required return in the form of coupon payments.
2) When the required return is less than the coupon rate the investor is getting more in coupons than he required from the bond so the bonds price will be higher than par so that the return from the coupons become equal to the required rate of return. Thats why when a bonds required return is less than the coupon it sells on a premium.
Answer:
The answer is c. present value index
Explanation:
Present value index is the ratio decided by dividing net present value of the project by its require initial net cash outflows.
Once having constraint on selecting investment with positive NPV to be made due to lack of fund, a firm's usually use Present value index for further decision making.
The investment with higher present value index shows that it generates more net cash flow or in other words, more efficient and requires less initial cash outflow, and thus usually be chosen over the other ones with lower present value index.
