Consider a bond (with par value = $1,000) paying a coupon rate of 10% per year semiannually when the market interest rate is only 4% per half-year. The bond has three years until maturity. Required: a. Find the bond's price today and six months from now after the next coupon is paid. b. What is the total (6-month) rate of return on the bond? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A Required B Find the bond's price today and six months from now after the next coupon is paid. Note: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Current price Price after six months $ $ 1,052.42 1,044.52
Suppose that the interest rate is 5 percent. Instructions: Enter your answers rounded to 2 decimal places. a. What is the future value of $100 six years from now? $ How much of the future value is total interest? $ b. By how much would total interest be greater at an interest rate of 7 percent than at an interest rate of 5 percent?
*Using Matlab* The current amount A of a principal P invested in a savings account paying an annual interest rate r is given by A = P(1+r/n)^(nt) where n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded. For continuous compounding, A = Pe^(rt). Suppose $10,000 is initially invested at 2.5 percent (r = 0.025). a. Plot A versus t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 20 years for four cases: continuous compounding, annual compounding (n = 1), quarterly compounding (n = 4), and monthly compounding (n = 12). Show all four cases on the same subplot and label each curve. On a second subplot, plot the difference between the amount obtained from continuous compounding and the other three cases. b. Redo part a, but plot A versus t on log-log and semilog plots. Which plot gives a straight line?
Refer to Table 10-1, which is based on bonds paying 10 percent interest for 20 years. Assume interest rates in the market (yield to maturity) increase from 8 to 10 percent. a. What is the bond price at 8 percent? Bond price b. What is the bond price at 10 percent? Bond price c. What would be your percentage return on the investment if you bought when rates were 8 percent and sold when rates were 10 percent? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Return on investment % Loss
Suppose that the current one-year zero-coupon rate is 2.5% and that the expected one-year rate during each of the subsequent four years is 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, and 3.5%. Under the expectations theory, what is the current 5-year zero-coupon interest rate? Enter the answer in percentage points; for example, if the answer is 5.25%, enter 5.25 rather than .0525.
Number of years needed to accumulate a future amount For the following case, determine the number of years it will take for the initial deposit to grow to equal the future amount at the given interest rate. (Click-on the icon here in order to copy the contents of the data table below into a spreadsheet.) The number of years for this investment, n, is Initial deposit Future amount $12,187 $24,600 years. (Round to two decimal places.) Interest rate 8%
Today, interest rates on 1-year T-bonds yield 1.2%, interest rates on 2-year T-bonds yield 2%, and interest rates on 3-year T-bonds yield 3.3%. a. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the yield on 1-year T-bonds one year from now? Be sure to use a geometric average in your calculations. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to four decimal places.
If the rate of inflation is 5.4%, what nominal interest rate is necessary for you to earn a 3% real interest rate on your investment?(Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal places.) The nominal interest rate is_______________ (Round to two decimal places.)
