Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Net gain = $60,000

Explanation:

Given:

Sale value of house = $540,000

Adjusted value = $220,000

Selling expenses = $10,000

Gross profit on sale = $540,000 - $220,000 - $10,000

Gross profit on sale = $310,000

Maximum limit on gain from sale of house = $250,000(Form number 1040, Schedule D)

Answer:

Bond Price = $97.4457408 million rounded off to $97.45 million

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is an annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 113 million * 0.05 = 5.65 million

Total periods (n) = 30

r or YTM = 0.06 or 6%

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price =5.65 * [( 1 - (1+0.06)^-30) / 0.06] + 113 / (1+0.06)^30

Bond Price = $97.4457408 million rounded off to $97.45 million
