Answer:
Chris paid $109.68 for his bond. Since he paid a premium for the bond, the YTM is lower than the coupon rate.
Explanation:
yield of Cheryl's bond is 6% since she purchased it at par and the bond's coupon is 6%
if Chris's bond yields 80% of Cheryl's, it will yield 6% x 0.8 = 4.8%
we can use the approximate yield to maturity formula to find the market price of Chris's bond:
2.4%(semiannual) = {3 + [(100 - MV)/20]} / [(100 + MV)/2]
0.024 x [(100 + MV)/2] = 3 + [(100 - MV)/20]
0.024 x (50 + 0.5MV) = 3 + 5 - 0.05MV
1.2 + 0.012MV = 8 - 0.05MV
0.062MV = 6.8
MV = 6.8 / 0.062 = 109.68
The amount generated from the investment with simple interest is calculated through the equation,
F = P x (1 + in)
where F is the future amount, P is the present worth, i is the decimal equivalent of the given interest and n is the number of interest period.
From this item it can be identified that,
P = $10,500
i = 0.06
n = 4
Substituting the known values,
F = ($10,500) x (1 + (0.06)(4))
<em> F = $13020</em>
Therefore, after four years, the amount of money that Alex will have is $13,020.
Rational choice theory states that individuals rely on rational calculations to achieve outcomes that are in line with their personal objectives. These decisions provide people with the greatest benefit or satisfaction — given the choices available — and are also in their highest self-interest.
