If you purchased a $50 face value bond in early 2017 at the then current interest rate of .10 percent per year, how much would the bond be worth in 2027? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. In 2027, instead of cashing the bond in for its then current value, you decide to hold the bond until it doubles in face value in 2037. What annual rate of return will you earn over the last 10 years?
The bond is worth $50.50 in the year 2027
The annual rate of return is 7.07%
Explanation:
The future value of the bond is given by the below formula:
FV=PV*(1+r)^N
where PV is the present of the bond of $50
r is the rate of return of 0.10 percent=0.001
N is the duration of the bond investment of 10 years
FV=50*(1+0.001
)^10
FV=$50.50
However for the face of the bond to double i.e to $100, the rate of return can be computed thus:
r=(FV/PV)^(1/N)-1
where FV=$100 (double of $50)
FV=$50.50(current value in 2027)
N=10
r=($100/$50.50)^(1/10)-1
r=0.070707543
r=7.07%
Answer:
A) operational excellence
Explanation:
Operational excellence is a business strategy that consists in the constant improvement of all aspects of the organization in order to maintain high standars in every possible way. The idea is to be better than the competition in the long-term.
Walmart, Costco, and Southwest Airlines are engaging in operational excellence when they manage to offer products and services that have reasonable price, while being reliable and high-quality at the same time. The combination of low price, and high quality, is very hard to achieve, and it's a sign that a company is following operational excellence.
