Jobu is thinking about borrowing $10,000 from Mike. He promises Mike cash flows (a stream of payments) of $5000 for the next three years. If Jobu’s cost of capital is 15%, what is the Net Present Value of the investment for Mike? Show your calculation clearly.
A bond has a Macaulay duration of
10.00
and is priced to yield
8.0%.
If interest rates go up so that the yield goes to
8.5%,
what will be the percentage change in the price of the bond? Now, if the yield on this bond goes down to
7.5%,
what will be the bond's percentage change in price? Comment on your findings.
If interest rates go up to
8.5%,
the percentage change in the price of the bond is
nothing%.
(Round to two decimal places.)
