Answer:

€928.46

Explanation:

Since it was hinted that bonds issued outside of  the United States pay coupons annually, it is expected that the bonds issued in Germany pay annual coupons, and its price is computed below using the bond price formula, excel PV function, and financial calculator:

Bond price=face value/(1+r)^n+annual coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n/r

face value=€1,000

r=yield to maturity=8.7%

n=number of annual coupons in 10 years=10

annual coupon=face value*coupon rate=€1,000*7.6%=€76

bond price=1000/(1+8.7%)^10+76*(1-(1+8.7%)^-10/8.7%

bond price=1000/(1.087)^10+76*(1-(1.087)^-10/0.087

bond price=1000/2.30300797+76*(1-0.43421474)/0.087

bond price=1000/2.30300797+76*0.56578526/0.087

bond price= 434.21+494.25= €928.46

Excel PV function:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

=-pv(8.7%,10,76,1000)

pv=€928.46

Financial calculator:

N=10

PMT=76

I/Y=8.7

FV=1000

CPT PV=€928.46

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The cash flow mark to market proceeds = $754.45

Explanation:

The current index value after 12 months = current stock index * (1 + risk free - dividend yield)^12

= 1800 * (1 + 0.50% - 0.20%)^12

The current index value after 12 months = 1865.88

The future index value after 12 months = future stock index * (1 + risk free - dividend yield)^12

= 1820 * (1 + 0.50% - 0.20%)^11

The future index value after 12 months= 1880.97

The cash flow mark to market proceeds = (future index future value - current index future value) * multiplier

= (1880.97 - 1865.88) * 50

The cash flow mark to market proceeds = $754.45
