Trava [24]

Answer:

The answer is option D

Explanation:

The bond can be issued at par, at a discount or at a premium depending on the coupon rate and the market interest. The price of the bond which pays semi annual coupon can be calculated using the formula of bond price. The formula to calculate the price of the bond is attached.

First we need to determine the semi annual coupon payment, periods and YTM.

Semi annual coupon payments = 2000000 * 0.1 * 6/12 = 100000

Semi annual periods = 5 * 2 = 10

Semi annual YTM = 0.08 * 6/12 = 0.04

Bond Price = 100000 * [(1 - (1+0.04)^-10) / 0.04] + 2000000 / (1+0.04)^10

Bond Price = $2162217.916

The price of the bond is thus $2162290 approx. The difference in answers is due to rounding off.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

c) $6,200

Explanation:

First ,we are to determine Stephanie's claims based on different circumstances using the 2013 standard deduction

a) Reported $850 earnings from babysitting - claim 1,200

For 2013, the minimum standard deduction is $1,000, hence Stephanie is able to claim the greater of the following two: The minimum standard deduction of $1,000 or her earned income of $850 + $350 which is $1,200. Stephanie can claim $1,200

b) Reported $1500 - Claim $1,850

For 2013, the minimum standard deduction is $1,000, hence Stephanie is able to claim the greater of the following two: The minimum standard deduction of $1,000 or her earned income of $1500+ $350 which is $1,850. Stephanie can claim $1,850

c) reported $6,200 - Claim $6,200

For 2013, the minimum standard deduction is $1,000, hence Stephanie is able to claim the greater of the following two: The minimum standard deduction of $1,000 or her earned income of $6200+ $350 which is $6,550. However, she can only claim $6,200 because as a 2013 the maximum standard deduction for a single person which is her filing status is $6,200

1. What are some considerations in choosing a financial institution? Which one do you think would be the most important consider

Greeley [361]

1. In choosing a financial institution you must consider how frequently the bank responds, how long they operate on the weekends, the notary services they are offering, the loans you can get and their financial strength among others. The most important factor to consider would be the institution's financial strength since you must only put your trust in institutions with high strength.

2. One good thing about the U.S. savings bonds is their security and the fact that the investments that you will make in these bonds will not cost you any form of state or local taxes. Cons would include its complexity though as it can get hard for you to identify when the bonds will mature, their interest rates, when to know how to cash them, and their current value.

3. If you put your trust in the so-called "problematic" financial institutions, you are basically gambling your money away. First of all, as mentioned earlier, you must only put your trust in banks with a healthy financial strength since problematic ones will be unreliable and unsafe. Trusting them can lead to your money being stolen or you can also be bombarded with additional fees.

4. The state and local government have laws that will protect the consumer from unfair practices or frauds. As an individual, you can add more security to protect yourself and your money. This protection includes setting up alerts on your bank account, adding a two-step verification on your emails so no one can access it easily, as well as avoiding calling lists.

5. One major advantage is that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has a $100,000 guarantee per institution so your investment won't be totally gone during unfortunate circumstances. The disadvantage, on the other hand, is that the interest rates on federally-insured accounts are below the inflation rate so you can expect a decrease in the value of your money over time.
