Assume that there is only one more interest payment to be made on Bond S, at its maturity, and 18 more payments on Bond L.

a. What will the value of the Bond L be if the going interest rate is 5%? Round your answer to two decimal places at the end of the calculations.


b. What will the value of the Bond S be if the going interest rate is 5%? Round your answer to two decimal places at the end of the calculations.


c. What will the value of the Bond L be if the going interest rate is 10%? Round your answer to two decimal places at the end of the calculations.


d. What will the value of the Bond S be if the going interest rate is 10%? Round your answer to two decimal places at the end of the calculations.


e. What will the value of the Bond L be if the going interest rate is 11%? Round your answer to two decimal places at the end of the calculations.


f. What will the value of the Bond S be if the going interest rate is 11%? Round your answer to two decimal places at the end of the calculations.

Explanation / Answer

Hi, If you like my answer rate me first...that way only I can earn points. Thanks a) Value = $80*(1-1.05^-18)/0.05 + 1000*1.05^-18 = $1350.69 b) Value = $80*1.05^-1 + 1000*1.05^-1 = $1028.57 c) Value = $80*(1-1.10^-18)/0.10 + 1000*1.10^-18 = $835.97 d) Value = $80*1.1^-1 + 1000*1.10^-1 = $981.82 e) Value = $80*(1-1.11^-18)/0.11 + 1000*1.11^-18 = $768.95 f) Value = $80*1.11^-1 + 1000*1.11^-1 = $972.97
