Answer:
The bond equivalent yield to maturity = 8.52%
The effective annual yield to maturity of the bond = 8.71%
Explanation:
Here, we start with calculating the yield to maturity YTM using the financial calculator
To find the YTM, we need to put the following values in the financial calculator:
N = 20*2 = 40;
PV = -950;
PMT = [8%/2]*1000 = 40;
FV = 1000;
Press CPT, then I/Y, which gives us 4.26
So, Periodic Rate = 4.26%
Bond equivalent yield = Periodic Rate * No. of compounding periods in a year
= 4.26% * 2 = 8.52%
effective annual yield rate = [1 + Periodic Rate]^(No. of compounding periods in a year) - 1
= [1 + 0.0426]^2 - 1 = 1.0871 - 1 = 0.0871, or 8.71%
Answer:
PV = $155,343
Explanation:
This question requires application of PV of annuity, according to which:
PV = p [1-(1+r)^-n/r]
P= Periodic Payment
r = rate of period
n = number of periods
r = 3%/12 = 0.25% (monthly), n = 120, P = $1500
PV = 1500 * [\frac{1 - (1 + 0.0025)^{-120}}{0.0025}]
PV = 1500 * 103.5618
PV = $155,343
Answer:
I would use survey research to determine the general opinion, positive or negative, on the feature from the general public.
Explanation:
When conducting any survey research, it is important to sample a wide variety of people. In this case, you would want to survey the general population, not just former Mercedes customers.
I would design a focus group survey with a series of questions where participants can choose from a range, 0-5, on how much they agree with a certain statement.
At the beginning of the survey, participants would read a brief paragraph explaining the features on the new car before continuing to the part where they record their responses.
Once the survey is conducted, the data can be analyzed. If the majority, say 70%, of all people surveyed agree strongly that a self driving car is a good idea and that the world is ready then you can assume that the general population is in fact ready.
Answer: If it has a secular legal purpose, has a primary effect of neither advancing nor inhibiting religion, and does not foster an excessive government entanglement with religion
Explanation:
The Establishment clause prevent the Congress from having a state religion or honig preference to one religion above another one.
The circumstances that a state law would be permissible under the establishment clause include if it has a secular legal purpose, has a primary effect of neither advancing nor inhibiting religion, and does not foster an excessive government entanglement with religion.
