Answer: -10.14%

Explanation:

Original Price of bond:

Interest is paid semiannually so some variables need to be adjusted:

Period = 13 * 2= 26 semi annual periods

Coupon = 6% * 1,000 * 0.5 = $30 per period

Yield = 5.5% / 2 = 2.75%

Price = $1,046

Price after yield increases to 6.7%

Period = 13 * 2= 26 semi annual periods

Coupon = 6% * 1,000 * 0.5 = $30 per period

Yield = 6.7% / 2 = 3.35%

Price = $939.88

Percentage change = (939.88 - 1,046) / 1,046

= -10.14%

You plan to invest in bonds that pay 6.0%, compounded annually. If you invest $10,000 today, how many years will it take for you
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The answer is 16 years.

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the value of an investment that is compounded annually is given by:

V(n)=(1+R)^nP

Where:

n is the number of years the investment is compounded,

R is the annual interest rate,

P is the principal investment.

We know the following:

25000=(1+0.06)^n \times 10000

And we want to clear the value <em>n</em> from the equation.

The problem can be resolved as follows.

<u>First step:</u> divide each member of the equation by 10,000:

\frac{ 25000}{10000}=(1+0.06)^n \times \frac{ 10000}{10000}

2.5=(1.06)^n

<u>Second step:</u> apply logarithms to both members of the equation:

log(2.5)=log (1.06)^n

<u>Third step:</u> apply the logarithmic property logA^n=n.logA in the second member of the equation:

log(2.5)=n.log (1.06)

Fourth step: divide both members of the equation by log1.06

\frac{log(2.50)}{log (1.06)} =n

n= 15.7252

We can round up the number and conclude that it will take 16 years for $10,000 invested today in bonds that pay 6% interest compounded annually, to grow to $25,000.

gdp is the best measurement of a country's economy. explain why you agree or disagree with this statement
Sonja [21]
GDP is designed to assess the production of goods in a market economy by output. However, it is not efficient in accounting for public and private services that without output that are easily countable by the number of units produced. GDP is not also well suited in measuring improvements in the diversity and quality of goods and services. It is also poor in estimating the depletion of resources. Finally, it doesn't also reflect the degradation of the environment involved in the production process.
