The value of F's assets next year are either 10 million (with probability 3/4) or 3.5 million (with probability 1/4). F's existing debt matures at the end of the year and requires a 3.2 million dollar payment (principle plus interest). Suppose at the beginning of the (same) year F issues 1,000 bonds with face value $1,000, maturity 1 year, and a single coupon of 22% (paid at the end of the year). If the new bonds are all junior to the existing debt, what is the required return on the new junior bonds?

An annuity is known as a fixed-term pension and gives a person a guaranteed income for a number of years in future. A person can use his/her savings to buy an annuity from a superannuation fund or life insurance company. S We consider an annuity of a $25,000 for n = 10 years in future, and the present value of the 10-year annuity scheme is p(r) = (¹ - (,)"). wherer is the discount rate. (1) Calculate the present value p(r) when r = 1.25%. (2) Use the following first-order approximation to approximate the present value if the discount rate is increased by 0.25% (that means the discount rate is now 1.5%): p(r) p(ro) + p'(ro) x (r-ro). where r= 1.5% and ro 1.25%.

James has an investment worth $175,609.50. The investment will make a special payment of X to James in 1 month from today and the investment also will make regular, fixed monthly payments of $1,440.00 to James forever. The expected return for the investment is 1.23 percent per month and the first regular, fixed monthly payment of $1,440.00 will be made to James in one month from today. What is X, the amount of the special payment that will be made to James in 1 month?

7. An investor has a choice of investing a sum of money using two investment plans. For Plan 1, he invests his money at 4% compounded annually; for Plan 2, he invests his money at 3.75% semi-annually. a. Which of the two plans is more favorable to the investor? b. If the investor chooses Plan 1, after how many years will the initial sum be increased by 50%? c. Suppose that the investor starts with an initial sum of € 30 000 and that he follows Plan 1. Write down a function equation to calculate the one-year interest earned at the end of year t. For the subsequent questions, suppose the investor follows a plan to invest € 10 000, such that the interest function at the end of year t is given by I(t) = 10 000-0.076-1.076-1. Every year the investor has to pay taxes on the interest he earns. If the interest is lower than € 1660, no taxes have to be paid. On the amount of interest that exceeds € 1660, 15% taxes is due. d. For how many years does the investor pay no taxes? e. After how many…
What single payment in two years would replace a payment of $18,650 due one year ago and a payment of $21,400 due two years and two months ag? Assume that both payments were not paid and that the interest rate is 4% compounded quarterly.
Why would a company issue 100-year bond or hold 100-year debt as both CN and CP do? O Investors might view the ultra-long duration as a way to lock-in to a long-term positive return, even if a small one. O Issuing ultra-long debt may allow companies to 'lock-in' interest rates while they are at low levels. O All of the above may lead a company to consider and issue what's been termed 'century bonds' or 100 year bonds. O Such a lengthy term can instill confidence in the bond market that the company will be around for another century.
4. An insurer issues a 15-year annual premium-due endowment insurance of $100,000 benefit to life (50). The insurer charges an initial expenses of $ 1000 plus renewal expenses of 5% of each subsequent premium after the first premium payment. The premiums are made at the beginning of each year when (50) remains alive before reaching 70 and the benefit is paid at the end of K50 +1 years or when the person reaches the age 70 whichever occurs earlier. (a) Write down the gross future loss random variable L in terms of actuarial notations. (b) Calculate the gross premium-due G by using the Standard Select Survival Model with 5 % per year interest (Table D4) and the equivalence premium principle. 8 (c) Calculate the gross premium policy value V by using the equivalence premium G found in (b).
