Answer:

1.22%

Explanation:

The modified duration of the bond gives an indication of change in price due to a 1% change in the yield to maturity,hence, the bond modified duration is computed using the formula below:

modified duration=Macaulay Duration/(1+YTM)

Macaulay Duration=4.2

YTM(initial)=3%

modified duration=4.2/(1+3%)= 4.08  

That for 1% change in yield to maturity price would change 4.08%

0.3% change in yield(3.3%-3%)= 4.08%*0.3%=1.22%

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The amount to save now is = $862.03 (to 2 decimal places)

Explanation:

In order to solve this, we will compute the end-of-year amounts using the 5% increase each year. This is done as follows:

Year 1 ending = $200

Year 2:

Year 2 beginning price = $200

Note that 5% increase = 5/100 = 0.05

increase in year 2 = 5% of 200 = 0.05 × 200 = 10

Year 2 new price = 200 + 10 = $210

Year 3:

beginning price = $210

increase in year 3 = 0.05 × 210 = $10.5

Year 3 new price = 210 + 10.5 = $220.5

Year 4

beginning price = $220.5

interest in year 4 = 0.05 × 220.5 = 11.025

new price in year 4 = 220.5 + 11.025 = $231.525

Next to calculate the amount needed to pay for one travel ticket per year for the next four years, we will add the prices of the tickets each year as follows:

Total amounts needed = 200 +210 + 220.50 + 231.53 = $862.03
