the answer is B, hope this helps.
Answer:
-5.14 for sam
-18.01% for dave
Explanation:
We first calculate for Sam
R = 7.3%
We have 2% increase
= 9.3%
We calculate for present value of coupon and present value at maturity using the formula for present value in the attachment
To get C
1000 x 0.073/2
= 36.5
time= 3 years x 2 times payment = 6
Ytm = rate = 9.3%/2 = 0.0465
Putting values into the formula
36.5[1-(1+0.0465)^-6/0.0465]
= 36.5(1-0.7613/0.0465)
36.5(0.2385/0.0465)
= 36.5 x 5.129
Present value of coupon = 187.20
We solve for maturity
M = 1000
T = 6 months
R = 0.0465
1000/(1+0.0465)⁶
= 1000/1.3135
Present value = 761.32
We add up the value of present value at maturity and that at coupon
761.32 + 187.20
= $948.52
Change in % = 948.52/1000 - 1
= -0.05148
= -5.14 for sam
We calculate for Dave
He has 20 years and payment is two times yearly
= 20x2 = 40
36.5 [1-(1+0.0465)^-40/0.0465]
Present value = 36.5 x 18.014
= 657.511
At maturity,
Present value = 1000/(1+0.0465)⁴⁰
= 1000/6.1598
= 162.34
We add up these present values
= 657.511+162.34 = $819.851
Change = 819.851/1000 -1
= -0.1801
= -18.01%
Answer:
-0.11% per year
Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate real interest rate.
Firstly, we calculate the inflation rate
mathematically the inflation rate = (cpi at the end of year - cpi at the beginning of year)/cpi at the beginning of year * 100%
Inflation rate = (232-225)/225 * 100% = 3.11%
we now proceed to calculate the real interest rate
mathematically, real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - inflation rate
from the question, nominal interest rate = 3%
real interest rate = 3% - 3.11% = -0.11%
This means that the real interest rate earned by sally is -0.11% per year
<span>June 23 is the 174th day of a non-leap year. 174 is 48.3% of 360, therefore George should pay 48.3% of $2,345 to the Government. The government thus owes George, and should credit him 51.7% of $2345, which amounts to $1212.37</span>
