Explanation / Answer

20) A=2.5% PVAforever= R/i 200000=5000/i =I =5000/200000=2.50%

24) Market Rate of Return= Ke=D/V+g D=dividend V=current price g=dividend increasing rate

2.50/52 +0.04 =8.8%

22) Formula to know the market price = YTM= C+[{(F-P)/2}n*2]/F+P/2

7.73% = 7%+(1000-p/2)9*2 /1000+p/2 => 7.73%(1000+2)=(7%+9000-9p)*2

=>0.0773p+18p=0.14+18000-77.3 =>18.0773p=17922.84

=>p=991.45
