Answer:

$1,138.92

Explanation:

Current bond price can be calculated present value (PV) of cash flows formula below:

Current price or PV of bond = C{[1 - (1 + i)^-n] ÷ i} + {M × (1 + i)^-n} ...... (1)

Where:

Face value = $1,000

r = coupon rate = 7.2% annually = (7.2% ÷ 2) semiannually = 3.6% semiannually

C = Amount of semiannual interest payment = Face value × r

C = $1,000 × 3.6% = $36

n = number of payment periods remaining = (12 - 1) × 2 = 22

i = YTM = 5.5% annually = (5.5% ÷ 2) semiannually = 2.75% semiannually  = 0.0275 semiannually

M = value at maturity = face value = $1,000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV of bond = 36{[1 - (1 + 0.0275)^-22] ÷ 0.0275} + {1,000 × (1 + 0.0275)^-22}

PV of bond = $1,138.92.

Therefore, the current bond price is $1,138.92.

The ABC Co. is considering a new consumer product. They believe that the XYZ Co. may come out with a competing product. If ABC a
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Let X be probability XYZ offers a competing product

EMV (assembly line) = $10,000∗X+$40,000∗(1-X)

EMV (addition) = -$100,000∗X+$600,000∗(1-X)

$10,000∗X+$40,000∗(1-X) = -$100,000*X+$600,000∗(1-X)

$10,000∗X-$40,000∗X+$40,000 = -$100,000∗X-$600,000∗X$600,000

-$30,000∗X+$700,000∗X = $600,000-$40,000

$670,000∗X = $560,000

X = $560,000/$670,000

X = 0.836

ABC will be indifferent between the two alternatives if the probability that XYZ will offer a competing product is estimated to be 0.836.

ABC should invest in the addition if the probability that XYZ will offer a competing product is estimated to be less than 0.836.

Elenna [48]

The profit for an investor who has $500,000 available to conduct locational arbitrage is $1,639.

Bank A has a ask rate of $0.305, so the investor can exchange his $500,000 at Bank A and get = $500,000/$.305 =  MYR = 1,639,344

Bank B has a bid rate of $0.306, he can invest 1,639,344= 1,639,344 × $.306 = $501,639.

501,639 - $500,000 = $1,639.

Thus, the profit is $1,639.

Propound on why a library is said to be the memory of the human race?
Sonja [21]
Let's look at the phrase "<span>the memory of the human race?".

Memories are usually belonging to one specific human, and stored in their brain. The human race doesn't literally have a memory, so this must be  a metaphor.

This metaphor might mean what the human race, as a total, can remember and have access to.

So just like we remember what happened last Tuesday, the human race can find the information in a library about what happened in 1912- in this way, a library and a memory are similar, so a library is truly a memory of the human race.
