1. Suppose that people expect the one-year interest rate will equal 1% forever. a. Consider a ten-year zero coupon (discount) bond with a face value of $1000. The bond has a current price of $910. Is the term premium positive or negative? b. Redo question (a), assuming that the bond has a current price of $900.

10. What is the present value of a perpetuity of $100 if the appropriate discount rate is 7%? If interest rates in general were to double and the appropriate discount rate rose to 14%, what would happen to the present value of the perpetuity?
Indicate which one of following statements is true for a coupon bond: A) When the price of a bond is above its par value, the yield to maturity is greater than the coupon rate. B) The yield to maturity and the price of a coupon bond are positively related. C) When the price of a coupon bond equals its face value, the yield to maturity equals the coupon rate. D) When the price of a bond is below its par value, the yield to maturity is less than the coupon rate Support your answer with the use of a formula and explain in detail all the assumptions you make and all the components you use. (You may also want to use a yield calculator to verify you answer).
This is the actual question i need help with. Thanks in advance
Suppose Latasha is a sports fan and buys only baseball caps. Latasha deposits $3,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 5%. Assume this interest rate is fixed-that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a baseball cap is priced at $10.00. Initially, the purchasing power of Latasha's $3,000 deposit is baseball caps. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a baseball cap, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Latasha's deposit after one year in the first row of the table for each inflation rate. Finally, enter the value for the real interest rate at each of the given inflation rates. Hint: Round your answers in the first row down to the nearest baseball cap. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 baseball caps, you would round the purchasing power down to 20 baseball caps under the assumption that Latasha…
A four-year bond has an 6 percent coupon rate and a face value of $1,000 . If the bond's current price is $817.75 , calculate the yield to maturity of the bond (assuming annual interest payments). A) 8 percent B) 10 percent C) 12 percent D) 6 percent
2c. Mathematically derive slope of IS curve. Prove that if investment does not depend on interest rate, the slope of IS curve is infinity.
You own a bond with a coupon rate of 6.3 percent and a yield to call of 7.2 percent. The bond currently sells for $1,105. If the bond is callable in five years, what is the call premium of the bond? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Call premium
6) With an interest rate of 8 percent, the present value of $100 received one year from now is approximately
3. Consider a home energy storage (battery) system that can store up to 2 units of energy. At every time step, there is a demand for energy in the home which is drawn from 0,1,2 units with equal probability independent of the demands in the previous time steps. At every point in time, you have to satisfy the demand either by discharging the needed energy from the battery or purchasing power from the grid (or a combination of the two). You could also choose to purchase power from the grid to charge your battery. The grid energy price is either H(igh) or L(ow) according to a Markov chain (Price moves from H to L with probability p, and from L to H with probability q). (a) Model the decision making as an infinite horizon MDP where the objective is to minimize the discounted cost of energy purchased over an infinite horizon. (b) Write down a policy a of your choosing. Perform two steps of the operator T, for your policy, followed by one step of T..
