Answer:

The answer is: Average return Gary earned is 14.97%.

Explanation:

Please find the below for detailed explanation and calculations:

The total increase of Gary's investment in large U.S. stocks from 2012 to 2015 is calculated as : (1+15.05%) x (1+33.35%) x (1+11.50%) + (1+ 2.10%) = 1.747 times. That is, he will get 1,000 x 1.747 = $1,747 at the end of 2015.

The average return of Gary's investment in large U.S. stocks from 2012 to 2015 ( 4 year period) is: [ (The fourth root of 1.747) - 1] x 100% =14.97%.

A 27-year U.S. Treasury bond with a face value of $1,000 pays a coupon of 6.00% (3.000% of face value every six months). The rep
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

(A) $1,055.35  (B) $2,180.53  (C) $780.07  (D) $412.08.

Explanation:

The tenor of the bond is 27 years i.e. (27 * 2=) 54 periods of 6 months each (n).

Face Value (F) = $1,000

Coupon (C) = 6% annually = 3% semi annually = (3% * 1000 face value) = $30.

The Present Value (PV) of the Bond is computed as follows.

PV of recurring coupon payments + PV of face value at maturity

= \frac{C(1-(1+r)^{-n}) }{r} + \frac{F}{(1+r)^{n}}

A) Yield = 5.6% annually = 2.8% semi annually.

PV = \frac{30(1-(1.028)^{-54}) }{0.028} + \frac{1,000}{(1.028)^{54}}

= 830.25 + 225.10

= $1,055.35.

B) Yield = 1% annually = 0.5% semi annually.

PV = \frac{30(1-(1.005)^{-54}) }{0.005} + \frac{1,000}{(1.005)^{54}}

= 1,416.64 + 763.89

= $2,180.53.

C) Yield = 8% annually = 4% semi annually.

PV = \frac{30(1-(1.04)^{-54}) }{0.04} + \frac{1,000}{(1.04)^{54}}

= 659.79 + 120.28

= $780.07.

D) Yield = 15% annually = 7.5% semi annually.

PV = \frac{30(1-(1.075)^{-54}) }{0.075} + \frac{1,000}{(1.075)^{54}}

= 391.95 + 20.13

= $412.08.

13 are clubs and 26 are all red cards.

The computation for the following problems are shown below:

a.       All are jacks

Computation: 4/52 * 3/51 * 2/50 = 1/5525

b.      All are clubs

Computation: 13/52 * 12/51 * 11/50 = 11/850

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Real interest rate= 0.0497= 4.97%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A bond that pays interest annually yielded 7.37 percent last year. The inflation rate for the same period was 2.4 percent.

<u>The effect of the inflation rate is counterproductive to the interest rate. It diminishes purchasing power.</u>

Real interest rate= nominal interest rate - inflation rate

Real interest rate= 0.0737 - 0.024

Real interest rate= 0.0497= 4.97%
