Answer:
Explanation:
a) Confidence index=Yield on top-rated corporate bonds/ Yield on intermediate-grade corporate bonds
This year=9.3%/11.8%=0.788
Last Year=9.8%/11.3%=0.8673
b) From the calculations we can see that confidence index is decreasing from 0.8673 to 0.788.
To answer the question, I assume that the given interest is annual and simple interest. The interest acquired by the investment in simple interest is given by the equation,
I = P x i x n
where I is interest, P is present worth, i is rate and n is number of interest period. Assuming that a year is 360 days,
I = ($700) x (0.105) x (90/360)
The answer is 18.375. Therefore, the interest due is approximately equal to $18.38.
