Suppose you collect old coins. Today you have two coins, each of which is valued at $100. One coin is expected to increase in value by 5.6 percent annually, while the other coin is expected to increase in value by 4.8 percent annually. What will be the difference in the value of the two coins 25 years from now?
Suppose the value of a new financial security increases with time, such that one dollar of the financial currency at year 0 is
worth V(t) = exp{2/t-0.15f} dollars at time t. If the interest rate is 10 percent, after how many years should the financial
asset be sold in order to maximize the PDV of the sale? (NOTE: Write your answer in number format, with 2 decimal places of
precision level; do not write your answer as a fraction. Add a leading zero and trailing zeros when needed. Use a period for
the decimal separator and a comma to separate groups of thousands.)
Suppose a new process was developed that could be used to make oil out of seawater. The equipment required is quite expensive, but it would in time lead to low prices for gasoline, electricity, and other types of energy. What effect would this have on interest rates? (Hint: which direction does demand curve shift? How does it change savings and investment in the economy?)

Because the coupon rate equals yield to maturity, the bond sells at par value, or $1,000. The modified duration of the bond at its initial yield is 11.26 years, and its convexity is 212.4. If the bond's yield increases from 8% to 10%, the bond price will fall to $811.46, a decline of 18.85%. a. How does the price change according to the duration rule? b.

- The remarkable thing about the events described in the article is that the yield on the 3-month T-bill was briefly negative. To see how this could happen, consider the relationship between bond prices and bond yields. A 3-month T-bill with a maturity value of $1,000 is just a piece of paper that entitles the holder to $1,000 in three months. For example, if you were to buy a 3-month T-bill on September 24, 2008, with a maturity value of $1,000 and 90 days left to maturity, the U.S. government would pay you $1,000 on December 23, 2008. In general, the price of a bond is less than its maturity value. That is, if you are going to give up a certain amount of money for the duration of the bond, you expect to be paid for this loss of liquidity and compensated for inflation that could reduce the value of the repayment at the end of the period. Therefore, a piece of paper entitling you to $1,000 on December 23 would usually be worth less than $1,000 on September 24.

- Consider a bond without an expiration date that makes a fixed interest payment of $210 per year. Complete the following table by calculating the interest rate on the bond at different sale prices.
