This is a tricky answer, because:
the length of the loan, the interest rate, and the down payment will all affect the total cost of the loan
--BUT--
your credit history can help determine the interest rate you are offered, the length of the loan offered, and the downpayment required.
I think this is an unfair question, but the answer the teacher is looking for is A. credit history because it has an INDIRECT effect on total cost and not a DIRECT effect like the others.
Answer:
less desirable to other investors
Explanation:
<u>Given</u>: Current fixed coupon rate 5%
Market rate of interest 5%
New Market Rate of Interest 6%
Value of a bond is inversely related to economy interest rate or the yield to maturity (YTM). Value of a bond is expressed by the following equation:
wherein, C = Coupon rate of interest
YTM = Market Rate of Interest or interest rate in the economy or investor's expectation
n= Years to maturity
RV = Redemption value
In the given case, C = YTM i.e par value bond. When ytm rises to 6%, the value of the bond shall fall making such a bond less attractive since it represents lower coupon payments than investor expectations.
Thus, now the bond would be less desirable to other investors.

Answer:
The average rate of return for this investment is 21%
Explanation:
Average rate of return : The average rate of return shows the ratio between average net income and average initial investment.
Mathematically,
Average rate of return = Average Net income ÷ Average Initial Investment
where Average Net income = Total years of net income ÷ Number of years
= ($100,000 + $60,000 + $30,000 + $10,000 + $10,000) ÷ 5
= $42,000
And, Average Initial Investment = Initial Investment ÷ 2
= $400,000 ÷ 2
= $200,000
Now, average rate of return = $42,000 ÷ $200,000
= 21%
Thus, the average rate of return for this investment is 21%
