<span>Theories explain available phenomena based upon current evidence. These are typically set out in statements and use data and testable hypotheses as a way of backing these statements.

Answer:

Both mutual funds and money market funds are similar in the sense that they pool money from several investors in a variety of instruments. The difference is that money market funds pool the money in very liquid, short-term securities, while mutual funds do the same but in less liquid, longer-term securities.

The 63-year-old neighbor should therefore split the money around 60/40, 60% of the funds for mutual funds, in order to have long-term security, and 40% in the money market funds, in order to have quick cash available when needed.

Several years ago, Castles in the Sand Inc. issued bonds at face value of $1,000 at a yield to maturity of 6.2%. Now, with 6 yea

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The price of the bond is $659.64.

Explanation:

C = coupon payment = $62.00 (Par Value * Coupon Rate)

n = number of years = 6

i = market rate, or required yield = 15 = 0.15 = 0.15 /2 = 0.075

k = number of coupon payments in 1 year = 2

P = value at maturity, or par value = $1000

BOND PRICE= C/k [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1 + i )^nk ) / i ] + [ P / ( 1 + i )^nk )]

BOND PRICE= 62/2 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1 + 0.075 )^6x2 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 0.075 )^6x2 )]

BOND PRICE= 31 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1.075 )^12 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.075 )^12 )]

BOND PRICE= $239.79 + $419.85 = $659.64
