Summary Introduction
Longer-term bonds:
Bonds with long maturity period are called as longer-term bonds. These bonds carry high risk because an alteration in the interest rate or probability of higher inflation in the economy over a longer period can reduce
Shorter term bonds
Bonds with short maturity period are called as shorter-term bonds. Short duration reduces the risk as well as interest rates on these bonds. An investor who aims to earn the profit between the redemption value and investment cost will invest in shorter-term bonds.
Interest rate
The interest rate is simply the rate at which annual coupon payment is made by the issuer of a bond. The rate is set at the time of issue of the bond and the same rate is mentioned in the bond certificate.
To determine:
The sensitivity of longer-term bonds in comparison to shorter-term bonds with changes in interest

- 4 analysts covered the stock of Flooring Chemical. One forecasts a 5% return for the coming year. The second expects the return to be -4%. The third predicts a return of 9%. The fourth expects a 1% return in the coming year. You are relatively confident that the return will be positive but not large, so you arbitrarily assign probabilities of being correct of 33%, 7%, 18%, and 42%, respectively to the analysts' forecasts. Given these probabilities, what is Flooring Chemical's expected return for the coming year?arrow_forwardWhy you would be a quality recipient of the Linda K Crandall Nutrition Scholarship.arrow_forwardIf Image is blurr then tell me . please comment below i will write values. if you answer with incorrect values i will give unhelpful confirm.arrow_forward
