Answer and Explanation:
The computation is given below:
For Bank A,
Effective annual rate is
= (1 + 0.10 ÷ 12)^12 - 1
= 10.47%
For Bank B,
Effective annual rate is
= (1 + 0.11 ÷ 4)^4 - 1
= 11.46%
And,
For Bank C,
Effective annual rate = 12%
Therefore, Bank A is best to borrow at lowest effective annual rate
I think it’s D but I’m not sure
Answer:
Mr Crane's total return on the bond investment was 5.35%
Explanation:
The return on a bond is also known as it yield to maturity (YTM). In order to find a bonds YTM we need to know its present value, future value, coupon payments and number of years. In this case the bond's present value is 1,055 because it was bought at this price, it's future value is 980 because it was sold for 980, its number of years was 5 as it was held for 5 years and its coupon payment was (0.07*1000)=70. Now in order to compute return or ytm we need to put all these values in a financial calculator and compute I
PV= -1055
FV= 980
PMT= 70
N=5
Compute I=5.35
The return on the bond investment was 5.35%
