- The demand D (in billions of £) for a bond with coupon rate 5% and face value FV = 1000, andtwo years to maturity as a function of its price P is D = 4000 − 2P. The supply in (billions of£) as a function of the price of the bond is S = 2P + 400. b) Suppose that the yield to maturity of the bond is i = 0.05. What is the quantitydemanded/supplied at this interest rate? What happens to the demand/supply of the bond asthe interest rate increases? Explain why. c) What is the equilibrium interest rate? d) Suppose that the bond trades at premium. Is there excess demand or supply? Explain.e) There is a business cycle expansion, so both supply and demand shifts. After the shift, thenew demand curve is given by: D = 4000 + X − 2P, whereas the new supply curve is S =2P + 200. For which values of X will the interest increase/decrease? Which values of X arein line with empirical data?The demand D (in billions of £) for a bond with coupon rate 5% and face value FV = 1000, andtwo years to maturity as a function of its price P is D = 4000 − 2P.

- A stock you are evaluating is expected to experience supernormal growth in dividends of 12 percent over the next three years. Following this period, dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4 percent. The stock paid a dividend of $1.50 last year and the required rate of return on the stock is 11 percent. Calculate the stock's fair present value. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Please show all the steps, including the equation(s).Person A, Person B and Person C own stock in the same company. All of them are loss averse and have the same value function: v(x) = x/2 for gains and v(x) = 2x for losses.

If you ask them, how much would they say that they lost in terms of value when the price dropped from £95 to £70? Person B bought the stock in October and uses the peak price as their reference point. If you ask them, how much would they say that they lost in terms of value in January? In January, which month should Person B rather use as reference point in order to maximize their value? (d) [ Person C bought the stock in March. They expect to derive a value of at least +5 in April as compared to their reference point of the purchase price. What is the minimum…b) A stock you are evaluating just paid an annual dividend of £2.50. Dividends have grown at a constant rate of 1.5% over the last 15 years and you expect this to continue. i.

(d) If the risk free rate is 5%, what is the optimal timing of sales?What process does the net present value method use to help management determine whether a project is acceptable to a company? Options : A. It discounts net cash flows to their present value and then compares that value to the capital outlay required by the project.B. It determines the interest rate that will cause the present value of the capital expenditure to equal the present value of the expected net cash flows.C. It divides the present value of net cash flows by the initial investment to determine the profitability index of the project.D. It identifies the time period required to recover the cost of the capital investment from the net annual cash flow produced by the project.a) Suppose you put $350 into a bank account today.
