Suppose that you are forecasting one-year T-bill rates issued by Bangladesh Bank which are 5.25%, 6.15%, 8.50%, 9.25%, 10.10% in year 1,2,3,4 and 5 respectively. There is a liquidity premium of .15% per year for holding 3-year or longer-term bond. Would you be indifferent between purchasing these T-bills each year for the next 5 years or buy a 5-year Family Bond at 7.1% interest rate? Briefly illustrate your answer using the relevant theory of term structure.
To make CDs look more attractive as an investment than they really are, some banks advertise that their rates are higher than their competitors' rates; however, the fine print says that the rate is based on simple interest. If you were to deposit $16,000 at 10.00% per year simple interest in a CD, what compound interest rate would yield the same amount of money in 3 years? (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The compound interest rate that would yield the same amount of money in 3 years is % per year.
ou decided to go and apply for a credit card at your local financial institution.The Prime rate currently announced on June 1 was 3.25%. You have goodcredit history and a FICO score of 700. The lowest rate that they can offer toindividuals is a 18.99% APR for a credit card that gives cashback on purchasesand rewards. You were offered 21.99% APR for the credit card. How did thelender determine or calculate what rate they should offer you?
The YTM on a bond is the interest rate you earn on your investment if interest rates don't change. If you actually sell the bond before it matures, your realized return is known as the holding period yield (HPY). (Round the final answers to 2 decimal places.) a. Suppose that today you buy an 9.2% annual coupon bond for $1,180. The bond has 19 years to maturity. What rate of return do you expect to earn on your investment? Expected rate of return % b-1. Two years from now, the YTM on your bond has declined by 1%, and you decide to sell. What price will your bond sell for? (Omit $ sign in your response.) Bond price $ b-2. What is the HPY on your investment? HPY %

Suppose that an oil well is expected to produce 1,200,000 barrels of oil during its firstyear in production. However, its subsequent production (yield) is expected to increaseby 9% over the previous year's production. The oil well has a proven reserve of10,500,000 barrels. (a)Suppose that the price of oil is expected to be $120 per barrel for the next six years.What would be the present worth of the anticipated revenue stream at an interest rateof 10% compounded annually over the next six years?(b)Suppose that the price of oil is expected to start at $120 per barrel during the firstyear, but to increase at the rate of 3% over the previous year's price. What would bethe present worth of the anticipated revenue stream at an interest rate of 10%compounded annually over the next six years?(c)Consider part (b) again. After three years' production, you decide to sell the oil well.What would be a fair price?
Suppose you purchased a corporate bond with a 10-year maturity. a $1,000par value, a 10% coupon rate, and semiannual interest payments. What all this means that you receive $50 interest payment at the end of each six-month period for 10 years (20 times). Then, when the bond matures, you will receive the principal amount (the face value) in a lump sum. Three years after the bonds were purchased, the going rate of interest (coupon rate) on new bonds fell to 6% (or 6% compounded semiannually). What is the current market value (P) of the bond (3 years after the purchase)?
Assume that your father is now 50 years old and plans to retire after 10 years from now. He is expected to live for another 25 years after retirement. He wants a fixed retirement income of Rs. 5,00,000 per annum. His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, and then he will get 24 additional payments annually. Your father has current savings of Rs. 10,00,000 and he expects to earn a return on his savings @ 10% p.a., annually compounding. How much (to the nearest of rupee) must your father save during each of next 10 years to meet his retirement goal?
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? The present value of a 3-year, $150 ordinary annuity will exceed the present value of a 3-year, $150 annuity due. If a loan has a nominal annual rate of 8%, then the effective rate will never be less than 8%. If a loan or investment has annual payments, then the effective, periodic, and nominal rates of interest will all be different. The proportion of the payment that goes toward interest on a fully amortized loan increases over time. An investment that has a nominal rate of 6% with semiannual payments will have an effective rate that is smaller than 6%.
Cash Flow is based on the notion that a dollar paid in the future is less valuable than a dollar paid today. Part 2 The present value of a loan in which $1000 is to be paid out a year from today with the interest rate equal to 5% is $. (Round your response to the neareast two decimal place) Part 3 If a loan is paid after two years, and the amount $7000 is to be paid then with a corresponding 7% interest rate, the present value of the loan is $. (Round your response to the neareast two decimal place)
