What happens to the price of a three-year annual coupon paying bond with an 8% coupon when interest rates change from 8% to 6.85

ruslelena [56]

Face Value of bond = $1000

Annual Coupon Payment = $1000*8%

= $80

No of years to maturity(n) = 3 years

When the Market Interest rate was 8%, the Price of the bond will be the same as the Par value which is $1000 because when the Coupon rate and Market Interest rate are the same the Bond sells at par Value.

So, At an 8% Interest rate price is $1000

- Interest rate(YTM) changed to 8.86%

Calculating the Price of Bond:-

Price = \frac{CouponPayment}{(1+YTM)^{1}}+\frac{CouponPayment}{(1+YTM)^{2}}+...+\frac{CouponPayment}{(1+YTM)^{n}}+\frac{FaceValue}{(1+YTM)^{n}}

Price = \frac{80}{(1+0.0886)^{1}}+\frac{80}{(1+0.0886)^{2}}+\frac{80}{(1+0.0886)^{3}}+\frac{1000}{(1+0.0886)^{3}}

Price =$203.008 + $775.166

Price = $978.17

So, when the Interest rate changed to 8.86% the price falls to $978.17

Change in Price due to increase in Interest rate = $978.17 - $1000

= -$21.83

Hence, the price decreased by $21.83

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Pitch

Explanation:

Enrico has trouble differentiating between a tuba's sound and a piccolo's sound. Although a piccolo generates sound waves that are much briefer, quicker than a tuba, he has trouble tracking the variations in the pitch of such sounds.

For music, a note's pitch indicates the note's high or low. It is measured for physics in a Hertz unit. A note that vibrates at 261 Hz is induced by pulsing sound waves at 261 times per second.

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Value can be defined as the thing for which an customer is willing to pay the price. It is the activity on any shop floor or business for delivering the product or service to the customer for which the customer is ready to pay the price for it.

Tanner is choosing between two mutually-exclusive investment options. These options have absolutely no risk, and Tanner can al

Reika [66]

Answer:

D) Tanner should be indifferent between the two investments, since both are equivalent to the same amount of cash today.

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question:

A) $531.40 later today, since $1 today is worth more than $1 in one year.

B) $550 in one year, since it is $50 more than he invested rather than $31.40 more than he invested.

C) Neither - both investments have a negative NPV.

D) Tanner should be indifferent between the two investments, since both are equivalent to the same amount of cash today.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:

For the first option:

Cash flow in year 0 = $500

Cash flow in year 1 = $550

I = 3.5%

NPV = $31.40

For the second option:

NPV = $631.40 - $600 = $31.40

The npv of both options are equal and postive. So, Tanner should be indifferent between the options.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

I hope my answer helps you
