The bond, which has a $1,000 face value and a coupon rate equal to 10 percent, matures in six years. Interest is paid every six

months; the next interest payment is scheduled for six months from today. Assuming the yield on similar risk investments is 14 percent, calculate the current market value (price) of the bond.

Answer:

Market value of bond = 841.14

Explanation:

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate.

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond  can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

Calculate the PV of interest payments

Semi annual interest payment

= 10% × 1,000× 1/2 = 50

PV of interest payment

A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

r- semi-annual yield = 14%/2 = 7%

n- 6× 2 = 12

= 50× (1-(1.07^(-12)/0.07

= 397.13

Step 2

PV of redemption Value

PV = $1000 × (1.07)^(-12)

= 444.011

Step 3

Price of bond

= 397.13 +444.01

=841.14

Market value of bond = 841.14

My recommendation would be: communicate directly to the supervisor to clarify the intend of the email

Most employees believed that asking clarification to their supervisor would reflect badly on them since it make them look incompetent.

But most supervisors are trained to provide employees with guidance if they do not understand their assignment. And, following the wrong order would be significantly worse compared to not able to understand an email.

A high-interest savings account pays 5. 5% interest compounded annually. If $300 is deposited initially and again at the first o
Arte-miy333 [17]

For the given question, the summation that represents the money in account is:

\begin{aligned}\sum_{10}^{n=1}316.5(1.055)^{n-1} \end{aligned}

The principal amount if compounded annually, the formula that represents the amount to be received after n years is:

\rm A = P(1 + \dfrac{r}{100})^t where A is the amount received after compounding, P is the principal, r is the rate of interest and t is the tenure.

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given:

Annual interest rate(r) is 5.5%

Principal is(P) $300

Tenure is(t) 10 years

On substituting the values in the formula \rm A = P(1 + \dfrac{r}{100})^t

The amount received after compounding at the end of 1 year will be:

\rm A = 300(1 + \dfrac{5.5}{100})^1\\&#10;\\&#10;A=300(1.055)\\&#10;\\&#10;A=\$316.5

Similarly, the amount to be received after 2 years will be:

316.5+316.5(1.055)

The amount received after 10 years will be:

316.5+316.5(1.055)+316.5(1.055)^2+.......  upto 10 years

Therefore the summation that represents the money in account after 10 years is:

\begin{aligned}\sum_{10}^{n=1}316.5(1.055)^{n-1} \end{aligned}
