A bond currently has a price of $1,050. The yield on the bond is 7%. If the yield increases 23 basis points, the price of the bond will go down to $1,037. The duration of this bond is ____ years.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The duration of the bond is 5.8 years

Explanation:

Given that :

Current price of a  bond $1,050

Yield on the bond = 7% = 0.07

If the yield increases 23 basis points, the price of the bond will go down to $1,037

The objective is to determine the duration of the bond.

In order to determine the duration of the bond; we need to first find the change in percentage of the price. Afterwards, this is find the modified duration which quantify the change in percentage  in the market price for every change in the yield to maturity. Then finally to the determination of  the duration of the bond.

Mathematically;

Percentage change in price = [tex]\dfrac{new \ price - old \ price }{old \ price}[/tex]

Percentage change in price =[tex]\dfrac{1037 - 1050 }{1050}[/tex]

Percentage change in price =[tex]\dfrac{-13 }{1050}[/tex]

Percentage change in price = −0.01238

Percentage change in price ≅ - 0.0124

Percentage change in price  = - 1.24%

Let recall from the knowledge of our basis points which say;

1 basis point = 1/100

Therefore ; given that if he yield increases 23 basis points, then we have:

23 basis point = 23/100 = 0.23

The modified duration = [tex]\dfrac{percentage \ change \ in \ price }{ change}[/tex]

The modified duration = [tex]\dfrac{1.24 }{0.23}[/tex]

The modified duration = 5.3913 years

Finally, The duration of the bond = Modified duration × (1 + Yield to Maturity)

The duration of the bond =  5.3913 × (1 + 0.07)

The duration of the bond = 5.3913 × 1.07

The duration of the bond = 5.768691 years

The duration of the bond ≅ 5.8 years

Thompson Company had $1,000 in office supplies at the beginning of the fiscal year. At the end of the fiscal year, Thompson Company did an inventory of the office supplies and determined that $300 of supplies remained in the supply room unused. What is the amount of Supplies Expense at the end of the fiscal year?

Answers

Answer: Amount of supplies expense = $700

Explanation:

Given the following :

Amount of supplies at the beginning of the year = $1000

Amount of supplies which remained unused = $300

Amount of supplies expense at the end of the fiscal year = Amount of used supplies

Amount of used supplies = (amount of supplies at beginning - amount of unused supplies)

Amount of used supplies = ($1000 - $300)

Amount of used supplies = $700

Therefore, amount of supplies expense = $700

Loan X has a principal of $10,000x and a yearly simple interest rate of 4%. Loan Y has a principal of $10,000y and a yearly simple interest rate of 8%. Loans X and Y will be consolidated to form Loan Z with a principal of $(10,000x + 10,000y) and a yearly simple interest rate of r%, where r = (4x+8y)/(x+y). In the table, select a value for x and a value for y corresponding to a yearly simple interest rate of 5% for the consolidated loan. Make only two selections, one in each column.

..........X..........Y..........Value
(A)..............................21
(B)..............................32
(C)..............................51
(D)..............................64
(E)..............................81
(F)..............................96

Answers

Answer:

X = 96 and Y = 32

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

X amount = 4%

Y amount = 8%

Now based on this the equation is

r = (4x + 8y) ÷ (x+y)

Now put 5% at the rate place

The x and y is

5 = (4x + 8y) ÷ (x + y)

5x + 5y = 4x + 8y

x = 3y

Now looking the options as we can see that if X = 96 so Y would be 32

Therefore X = 96 and Y = 32

A customer opens a long margin account with only 1 position, consisting of 100 shares of ABC stock valued at $20 per share. There is no debit balance in the account. If the customer buys 100 shares of XYZ at $60 per share, the margin call will be

Answers

Answer:

The margin call will be $6,000.

Explanation:

Since there is no debit balance in the customer's margin account, it implies that the customer is not owing the broker on margin.  The additional purchase of the 100 shares of XYZ necessitates the margin call by the broker for the customer to fund his margin account by paying additional funds worth $6,000 to cover the purchase of XYZ shares by the broker on his behalf.

A margin account is an account maintained by a broker on behalf of his customer through which the customer is able to buy and sell securities using his own funds and the broker's.  The implication is that the customer's equity in the account is equal to the market value of the securities minus the borrowed funds from the broker.

Your accountant tells you that if you can continue to earn the current interest rate on your balance of $750 for the next three years, you will have $944.78 in your account. If your accountant is correct, then what is the current interest rate

Answers

Answer: 8%

Explanation:

current balance = $750

Period = 3years

Final amount at the end of the third year = $944.78

Rate =?

Using the compound interest formula :

A = P( 1 + r/n)^nt

Where : A= final amount plus interest

P = principal amount

r = interest rate

t = period

n = number of compounding periods per year = 1

A = P( 1 + r)^t

944.78 = 750(1 + r)^3

Divide both side by 750

944.78/750 = (1+r)^3

1.2597 = (1+r)^3

Take the cube root of both sides

1.07999 = 1+r

r = 1.07999 - 1

r = 0.07999

r = (0.07999) * 100%

r = 7.999% = 8%

Juanita makes $30 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:

total economic cost:

local store = $114 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $144across town = $86 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $131neighboring city = $60 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $135

Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest ($131)

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.

Based on the information given, the opportunity cost of time in the local department store will be $144.

Answer:

Explanation:

The law of diminising returns states that with each additional unit of input used in the production process, there will be a point at which additional unit of input will result in less output. Marginal output starts to decrease.

In the given scenario it takes 10 units of resources to increase its output of sugar from 12 tons to 13 tons, but 11 units of resources to increase output from 13 tons to 14 tons, and 12 units of resources to increase output from 14 tons and 15 tons.

There is need of 10 units of input to increase one unit of output, then we need 11 units to do the same, and finally 12 units to increase output by 1.

This is an example of how input increase loses efficacy and it is an example of diminishing returns to specialization.

Suppose a geyser has a mean time between eruptions of 72 minutes. Let the interval of time between the eruptions be normally distributed with standard deviation 23 minutes. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected time interval between eruptions is longer than 82minutes? The probability that a randomly selected time interval is longer than 82 minutes is approximately nothing. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) What is the probability that a random sample of 13 time intervals between eruptions has a mean longer than 82 minutes? The probability that the mean of a random sample of 13 time intervals is more than 82 minutes is approximately nothing. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)(c) What is the probability that a random sample of 34 time intervals between eruptions has a mean longer than 82 minutes? The probability that the mean of a random sample of 34 time intervals is more than 82 minutes is approximately nothing. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (d) What effect does increasing the sample size have on the probability? Provide an explanation for this result. Fill in the blanks below. If the population mean is less than 82 minutes, then the probability that the sample mean of the time between eruptions is greater than 82 minutes increases decreases because the variability in the sample mean decreases increases as the sample size decreases. increases.
