Answer: 8%
Explanation:
The expected return is a weighted average of the returns given the probability of certain states of the economy:
= (Prob. of boom * return if boom) + (Prob. of normal * return if normal) + (Prob. of weak * return if weak)
= (20% * 35%) + (50% * 14%) + (30% * -20%)
= 0.07 + 0.07 - 0.06
= 8%
Answer:
Current value = $550
Explanation:
You can solve this question using a financial calculator. I am using (Texas Instruments BA II plus)
First, since it is Semiannual coupon, adjust the interest rate to semi-annual rate and multiply 15 years by 2 since we have 2 semi annual periods per year.
<em>Note: If using the same calculator as me, key in the numbers first before the function .</em>
Total duration of investment ;N = 15 * 2 = 30
Interest rate; I/Y = 16% / 2 = 8%
Face value; FV = 1000
Semi annual Coupon Payment ; PMT = (8%/2)*1000 = 40
then CPT PV = $549.689
Therefore the current value of this bond is $550 (rounded to whole number.)
