Answer to Problem 16QP

A bond with a face value of $50 would double its value in 20 years if the rate of return is 3.53%.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Person X purchased a bond worth $50. He plans to hold it for 20 years until the value of the bond doubles.

The formula to calculate the rate of return:

P×(1+r)t=FV

Where,

“P” refers to the principal amount invested

“r” refers to the simple rate of interest

“t” refers to the number of years or periods of investment

“FV” refers to the future value or the current market value

Compute the rate of return:

The present value of the bond is $50. He plans to invest for 20 years until the value of the bond doubles. Hence, the future value of the bond will be $100 ($50×2) .

P×(1+r)t=FV$50×(1+r)20=$100(1+r)20=$100$50(1+r)20=2

1+r=2120r=1.03531r=0.0353 or 3.53%

Hence, the rate of return is 3.53% per year.

Answer to Problem 16QP

The value of the bond in 2024 will be $50.5.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Person X will purchase a bond worth $50 in 2014. He plans to hold it until 2024 or for 10 years. The rate of interest on the bond is 0.10 percent per year.

The formula to calculate the future value:

FV=PV×(1+r)t

Where,

“FV” refers to the future value or the current market value

“PV” refers to the present value

“r” refers to the simple rate of interest

“t” refers to the number of years or periods of investment

Compute the future value:

FV=PV×(1+r)t=$50×(1+0.001)10=$50×1.0100=$50.5

Hence, the future value of investment after 10 years is $50.5.

Answer to Problem 16QP

The bond has to fetch a return of 7.18% per year to double its value in 2034.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Person X purchased a bond worth $50 in 2014. He plans to hold it until 2024 or for 10 years. The rate of interest on the bond is 0.10 percent per year. The future value of this bond in 2024 will be $50.50 (Refer to Part (b) of the solution). Instead of cashing the bond at $50.50, he plans to reinvest the bond value until the value of the bond doubles in 2034.

The formula to calculate the rate of return:

P×(1+r)t=FV

Where,

“P” refers to the principal amount invested

“r” refers to the simple rate of interest

“t” refers to the number of years or periods of investment

“FV” refers to the future value or the current market value

Compute the rate of return:

The present value of the bond is $50.50 in 2024. He plans to invest for 10 years until the value of the bond doubles in 2034. Hence, the future value of the bond will be $101 ($50.50×2) .

P×(1+r)t=FV$50.50×(1+r)10=$101(1+r)10=$101$50.50(1+r)10=2

1+r=2110r=1.07181r=0.0718 or 7.18%

Hence, the bond has to fetch a return of 7.18% per year to double its value in 2034.
