Consider a 7-year bond with a 9% coupon and a yield to maturity of 12%. If interest rates remain constant, one year from now the
1 answer:
Answer:
(C) Higher.
Explanation:
The computation of the present value in both the cases are as follows:
In the first case
Given that
Assume the par value i.e. future value be $1,000
PMT = $1,000 × 9% = $90
RATE = 9%
NPER = 7
The formula is shown below
=-PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the present value is $863.09
In the second case
Given that
Assume the par value i.e. future value be $1,000
PMT = $1,000 × 9% = $90
RATE = 9%
NPER = 6
The formula is shown below
=-PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the present value is $876.66
So as we can see that the price of the bond would increased

Answer:
The present value of the dividends to be paid out over the next six years if the required rate of return is 15 percent is $6.57
Explanation:
Solution:
Given that
The present value =∑ ⁿ t=1 cf/ (1 +r)t
where cf= cash flow
r =the required rate of return
t = the number of years
Now
The present value will be:
cf₁/(1+r)^1 + cf₂/(1 +)^2 + cf₃/(1+r)3 + cf₄/(1 +r)^4) + cf₅/(1 +r)^5 + cf₆/(1+r)^6
Hence,
cf₁, cf₂ cf₃ = 0 as the firm does not expect to pay dividend in the next three years
