QUESTION 1 Interest rate is 6%. What is PV of 5 year ordinary annuity of 2,000 per year plus additional 1,000 at end of year 2?

Calculations Interest rate is 6%. What is PV of 5 year ordinary annuity of 2,000 per year plus additional 1,000 at end of year 2? We calculate the PV for first 2 years PV = 2000 [ 1-(1.06)^-2 ] 0.06 PV = Then the PV for the last 3 years is given by PV = 3000 [ 1-(1.06)^-3 ] 0.06 PV = Total PV = $

QUESTION 2 I got 500,000 dollars. I invested it at 9.00% per year, how much can I withdraw after 10 years? Interest = principle x rate x time = x 0.09 x 10 =$ Total =Principle + Interest = =$

QUESTION 3 What is current price of a zero coupon bond with 200$ face value, maturing in 2 years with quoted rate of 3%. Annual Compounding? Formula

Calculations Periodic payments =0.03 x 200 = $6 Maturity value for year 1 = 200 x 0.03 x 1 = $6 year 2 = 206 x 0.03 x 1 = $6.18 Maturity value = Price = 6 x [1- (1+0.03)^-2] (1+0.03) ^ Price = Price = $211.48

QUESTION 7 Two Bonds are outstanding. Bond 1 was issued 10 years ago with coupon rate of 8%. Bond 2 was issued 5 years ago with coupon rate of 5%. Both bonds have 30 years terms and face value of 600$. THe going interest rate is 10% today. If it is a semi-annual coupon payment, was are the said prices of the two bonds at this time. The formula to use will be

Calculations Bond 1: coupon = 0.08 x 600 = $48 Maturity value= 600[1-(1+0.08)^-20] = $ Price= 48 [1-(1+0.08)^-20] (1.08)^ Price = = $

Continuation Bond 2: coupon = 0.05 x 600 = $30 Maturity value= 600[1-(1+0.05)^-10] = $ Price= 30 [1-(1+0.05)^-10] (1.05)^ Price = = $
