It is May 18, 2017. You have a $10,000 semi-annual bond with a coupon rate of 10.375% which matures May 5, 2044. The bond is pri

ced to yield 13.500%, the duration is 7.81 years, and the convexity is 99.87 years squared. Using a duration estimate only, we predict that if market yields increase by 50 basis points then the price of this bond will decrease by _________ % (percent, rounded three places after the decimal)

Answer:

-3.91%.

Explanation:

The Duration Adjustment (% change in bond price) is given by:

= (Duration) * (Change in yield in %)

= -(7.81) x (0.5%)

= -3.91%

The Convexity Adjustment is given by:

= 0.5 * Convexity *  (Change in yield, as a fraction)^2

= 0.5 * 99.87 * (0.005)^2

= 0.5 * 99.87 * 0.000025

= 0.001248375

= 0.0012%

Thus, the convexity correction is 0.0012%

Thus, the total change in bond price = -3.91% + 0.0012% = -3.91%.

The following materials standards have been established for a particular product:
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

(i) $1,295 Favorable

(ii) $3,744 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Actual price = Actual cost of materials ÷ Actual materials purchased

                    = $43,105 ÷ 3,700

                    = $11.65

Materials price variance = Actual Quantity (Actual Price - Standard Price)

                                         = 3,700($11.65 - $12.00)

                                         = $1,295 Favorable

Standard Quantity = Actual output × Standard quantity per unit of output

                               = 560 × 4.8

                               = 2,688

Materials quantity variance:

= Standard Price (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity)

= $12.00 (3,000 - 2,688)

= $3,744 Unfavorable

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

$6,237,600

Explanation:

The computation of Estimate commission revenues is shown below:-

In the Coming year the market volume = 100% - 20%

= 80%

In the Coming year the number of sales = 100% - 8%

= 92%

In the coming year the Average commission per trade = 100% + 13%

= 113%

Commission revenue = Sold tickets × Average commission × In the Coming year the market volume × In the Coming year the number of sales × In the coming year the Average commission per trade

= 750,000 × $10 × 0.80 × 0.92 × 1.13

= $6,237,600

We applied the same formula to find out the commission revenue earned by the company
