If a bank offers an investment opportunity for which the interest is compounded quarterly, and you will earn an annual effective interest rate of 19.25%. Determine the nominal interest rate. Note: when calculating interest rates, do not convert to a percent. Leave it in decimal format and round to 4 places after the decimal. So if you think the answer is 3.45678%, then leave it as a proportion as 0.0345678 and then round to 0.0346.

is based on the notion that a dollar paid in the future is less valuable than a dollar paid today. The present value of a loan in which $1000 is to be paid out a year from today with the interest rate equal to 1% is $. (Round your response to the neareast two decimal place) If a loan is paid after two years, and the amount $1000 is to be paid then with a corresponding 2% interest rate, the present value of the loan is $.

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 %

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 $.

Economics In 54 months time you expect a cash flow of $3 million. Calculate it’s present value (PV) given the 54-month interest rate is currently 4%, with a volatility of 120 basis points (bps). Explain, using equations with properly-defined mathematical notation, how to map this cash flow to vertices at 4 years and 5 years, in such a way that the volatility of the present value of the mapped cash flow remains at 120 bps. Suppose the 4-year rate has a volatility of 110 bps and the 5-year rate has a volatility of 150 bps, and their correlation is 0.9. How much should be mapped to each vertex. Give your answer in PV terms and round your answers to whole $ values.

If the interest rate is 7.0%, what is the present value of a perpetuity paying $210 per year? (A perpetuity is a bond that makes payments forever.) Round to the nearest dollar. Do not use dollar signs or commas in your answer. Example: if the answer is $1,234.56, then write "1235"
It is likely that airplane tickets will increase 8% in each of the next 5 years. The cost of a plane ticket at the end of the first year will be 10622. How much money would need to be placed in a savings account now to have money to pay for a trip at the end of each year for the next 5 years? Assume the savings account pays 2% annual interest. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
Suppose that you are considering an investment, which would require you to pay $1,000 up front (today), and you would receive a payment of $100 per year, for 5 years, beginning one year from now. One year after your fifth payment, you would then have $800 paid to you as a final payment. Assume that the interest rate is equal to 5%. Round all answers to two decimal places. 5. Calculate the Present Value (PV) of the cost and each of the payments for the investment. Does this investment have a positive or negative present value? Should you make this investment? 6. How much would the initial cost ($1,000) need to change for you to be exactly indifferent about this investment? (i.e. you receive the same return for making this investment as you do for not making this investment?)
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.
