Explanation / Answer

18.

Interest rate on 3 year bond = [(1 + 5%) × (1 + 7%) × (1 + 10%)] ^ (1 / 3) - 1 + 0.75%

= [(1.23585 ^ 0.33) - 1] + 0.75%

= 7.33 + 0.75%

= 8.08%

Interest rate on 3 year bond is 8.08%.

Option (C) is correct answer.

19.

one year interest rate after one year = [(1 + 7%) ^ 2] / (1 + 5%) - 1

= (1.1449 / 1.05) - 1

= 1.0903 - 1

= 9.03%

one year interest rate after one year is 9.03%.

Option (C) is correct answer.
