Business 123 Introduction to Investments May I please have the solution for the following exercise? Thank you,   Just when you thought you had cured your colleague of his belief in "too good to be true" schemes, he comes in all excited about Bitcoin. He saw someone on television saying that Bitcoin was going to go to $1,000,000 and then he read an article on the Internet where someone else said that eventually each Bitcoin will be worth $13,000,000 just because. He can't wait to get in. This time, he does not ask for your opinion. He tells you that he is going to get started immediately and that you need to get started, too. He leaves your office enthusiastically. Please comment on what you know and believe about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as an investment.

Assuming the maturity date of the bond you invested is Jan 22, 2030.  With the information above, please answer the following four questions. Q:What is the bond price when you invested?  (hint: calculate half-year discount rate and coupon payment first. Face value of US 10-year treasury note is $1000.)

Unit Activity: Mathematical Models and Investments 15px Space used (includes formatting): 0/15000 The ra Part C Since she was 25, Jenna has been saving $5,000 each year in her IRA. Her IRA earns a 6% return on average. If that continues, she will have over $870,000 in savings by age 65, enough for a retirement income of around $65,000 a year. Jenna figures that $60,000 is more than enough, so she wants to retire early at age 62. She calculates that her savings will only be $15,000 less, since she saves just $5,000 a year.
