Bond Yields and Rates of Return A 30-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of $1,000 may be called in 4 years at a c

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The bond's yield to maturity is 9.45% using Excel to get exact values, and 9.59% using approximate method.

Explanation:

We can calculate is using 2 ways, using Excel to get the exact percentage or with approximate methods, calculating the semi-annual Yield to Maturity using the following formula

$YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}$

And from there we can calculate the Yield to Maturity just by multiplying the semi-annual one by 2.

Identifying the given information.

We have a period of 30 years, so for the semiannual bond we have $n=2(30) = 60$ periods.

The face value, FV, is $1000, the coupon rate is 0.10, thus we can use them to find the interest per period PMT.

$PMT=0.10 \times \cfrac{1000}{2}\\PMT=\$ 50$

The current price of the bond, PV is $1050.

Replacing the values on the semiannual Yield to Maturity

$YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}$

$YTM_{sm}=\cfrac{50+\cfrac{1000-1050}{60}}{\cfrac{1000+1050}{2}}$

Simplifying we get

$YTM_{sm}=4.797\%\\$

Finding the Yield to Maturity.

We can just multiply by 2 to get the Yield to Maturity from our previous result and rounding it to 2 decimals we get

$YTM = 2 YTM_{sm}\\YTM=9.59\%$

Alternatively we can use Excel and write:

RATE(n, PMT, PV, FV)*2

That is

RATE(60,50,1050,1000)*2

And we will get the exact Yield to maturity 9.49%

Compute the selling price if variable costs are $16 per unit. Determine the formula used to calculate the selling price.

dezoksy [38]

Answer: $40

Explanation:

Selling price can be calculated through the contribution margin equation;

Contribution margin = (Selling Price - Variable cost) / Selling Price

Contribution margin = Fixed costs/break-even point

= 660,000/1,100,000

= 60%

60% = (Selling Price - 16) / Selling Price

Selling price * 60% = Selling price - 16

16 = Selling price - (0.6 * selling price)

16 = Selling price * 40%

16/40% = Selling price

Selling price = $40

Keynesians a. advocate for a laissez-faire approach. b. believe that equilibrium may exist at less than full employment.c. belie

Olin [163]

Answer:

c. believe in the use of fiscal policy to stabilize the economy.

Explanation:

According to Keynesian theory, the sum of some micro-economic behaviors of all individuals and businesses results in inefficiency and the economy operates at a level below its potential output and growth. When total demand for products is insufficient, the economy enters a crisis and unnecessary unemployment arises due to defensive behavior of the producers. In such cases, the government may pursue policies to increase aggregate demand, and as a result may accelerate economic activities and reduce unemployment. Most Keynesian propose policies to stabilize the business cycle. For example, when the unemployment level is too high, the state can pursue a growth-oriented monetary policy. , one of the most famous of his critiques, Keynes argues and did not agree with "The Laissez-faire" that he opined the doctrines of laissez-faire are dependent on some extent on a case-by-case basis.

n the money creation process, the simple money multiplier assumes that banks hold no excess reserves. What is the consequence of

lyudmila [28]

Answer: The simple money multiplier becomes smaller as less money is loaned out

Explanation:

In the money creation process, the simple money multiplier assumes that thee are no excess reserves that are held by the banks and that there are no currency being held by the public.

The consequence of a bank holding excess reserves will be that the simple money multiplier will become smaller when less money is being loaned out. There will be less money in circulation when excess reserves are held by the banks. This will result in the money multiplier to be smaller.

Which of the following are assumptions of the simple CAPM model? I. Individual trades of investors do not affect a stock's price

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

I, II, and III are all correct and part of this model

Explanation:

The CAPM model or Capital Asset Pricing Model indicates the relationship between the amount of risk and the expected profit for a certain investment. This model holds many assumptions, which from the ones provided we can say that assumptions I, II, and III are all correct and part of this model. The only assumption that is not correct is IV, since the level of risk aversion that each investor has depends on how much they know about their investment.
