The second option which 5 years to maturity exhibited a lower price of

$523.95  

Explanation:

In order to ascertain the option with lower, it is important we determine the price of each investment based on the fact the price of an investment opportunity today is the present value of its future cash flow is the maturity value of $1000 in both cases:

a.

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV=price of investment

FV=future value=$1000

r= 13.80%.

n=4 years

PV=$1000/(1+13.80%)^4

PV=$596.25

b.

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV=price of investment

FV=future value=$1000

r= 13.80%.

n=5 years

PV=$1000/(1+13.80%)^5

PV= $523.95

Answer:

4.62%

Explanation:

we need to calculate the yield to maturity of the bond:

YTM = [coupon + (face value - market value)/n] / [(face value + market value)/2]

  • coupon = $50
  • face value = $1,000
  • market value = $1,078
  • n = 38 semiannual payments

YTM = [$50 + ($1,000 - $1,078)/38] / [($1,000 + $1,078)/2]

YTM = $47.95 / $1,039 = 4.615 ≈ 4.62%
