Answer:

D) neither the agent nor his employing broker-dealer need register as an investment adviser

Explanation:

In the given scenario the agent produces his own research reports and provides them to a select group of personal clients.

He has permission from his employer to do this.

According to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 the agent will only be excluded from being an investment advisor when he receives special compensation for giving investment advise.

Special compensation is when the agent is paid even when there are no transactions occuring.

In this case it's only when there is a transaction that the agent gets paid a commission. So this is not a special compensation.

As such neither the agent nor his employing broker-dealer need register as an investment adviser.

An investor has two bonds in his portfolio that have a face value of $1,000 and pay a 9% annual coupon. Bond L matures in 15 yea
aksik [14]

Answer:

Price of L bond at 5 percent required rate of return = $1,415.16

Price of L bond at 7 percent required rate of return = $1,182.16

Price of L bond at 10 percent required rate of return = $923.94

The price of the long term bonds change more with a change in interest rate because the long term bonds have a greater interest rate risk as compared to the short term bonds

Explanation:

L bond has a coupon rate of 9 percent, a face value of $1,000 and matures in 15 years. The coupon payments are made on annual basis. At the time of maturity the bondholder gets the face value.

We can find the present value of the coupon payments using the present value of annuity formula and the present value of the face value to be received after fifteen years using the present value formula. Sum of the present value of annuity of coupon payments and present value of the face value should equal the fair value (price) of the bond.

If the required rate of return is 5 percent, the price of the bond can be computed as under

Price = PMT [[(1+i)^n] -1]/[ix(1+i)^n] + FV/(1+i)^n

where PMT = 1,000 x 9% = $90

n = 15 years, i = 5% and FV = $1,000

Plugging the values in the formula we get

Price = 90[{(1+0.05)^15} - 1]/ [0.05 x (1+0.05)^15] + 1,000/(1+0.05)^15

Price = 90[{(1.05)^15} - 1]/ [0.05 x (1.05)^15] + 1,000/(1.05)^15

Price = 90[2.07893 - 1]/ [0.05 x 2.07893] + 1,000/2.07893

Price = 90[1.07893]/ [0.10395] + 1,000/2.07893

Price = 934.14 + 481.02 = 1,415.16

If the required rate of return increases to 7 percent, the price is computed as under

Price = 90[{(1+0.07)^15} - 1]/ [0.07 x (1+0.07)^15] + 1,000/(1+0.07)^15

Price = 90[{(1.07)^15} - 1]/ [0.07 x (1.07)^15] + 1,000/(1.07)^15

Price = 90[2.759 - 1]/ [0.07 x 2.759] + 1,000/2.759

Price = 90[1.759]/ [0.19313] + 1,000/2.759

Price = 819.71+ 362.45 = 1,182.16

If the required rate of return increases to 10 percent, the price is computed as under

Price = 90[{(1+0.1)^15} - 1]/ [0.1 x (1+0.1)^15] + 1,000/(1+0.1)^15

Price = 90[{(1.1)^15} - 1]/ [0.1 x (1.1)^15] + 1,000/(1.1)^15

Price = 90[4.1772 - 1]/ [0.1 x 4.1772] + 1,000/4.1772

Price = 90[3.1772]/ [0.41772] + 1,000/4.1772

Price = 684.55+ 239.39 = 923.94

The price of the long term bonds change more with a change in interest rate because the long term bonds have a greater interest rate risk as compared to the short term bonds
