Question

1. ( bone rate, desired rate of retune and effective interest rate)
A- given thatcthe MARR = i = 6% per year what is th effective interest rate if the 6% per year is compounded quarterly
B- a bond with a PAR value of $20,000 is purchas d for $16,000 ( the issuing entity is comsidered a credit risk.) it is purchases immediately after it os issued. The bond rate is 12% per year payable wuarterly. The bond will be held for 6 years and sold immediately after receiving the last payment. If your desired rate of retune is 8% per year compounded quartely what will be the minimum selling pric of the bond? 1. ( bone rate, desired rate of retune and effective interest rate)

Explanation / Answer

A: Formula to calculate effective interest Rate:

r = [ 1 + (i/n) ] n - 1

r = Effective Interest Rate

i = Nominal Interest Rate, n = Number of Compounding Per Year

i = 6%, n = 4

r = [ 1 + (0.06 / 4) ] 4 - 1

r = 6.136%

B - Calculation of Effective Interest rate on Bond:

r = [1 + (0.12 / 4)4 - 1]

r = 12.551%

Annual Interest according to effective Rate = 20,000 x 12.551% = $2,510.20

Total Interest for 6 Years = 2,510.20 x 6 = $15,061.20

Calculation of Effective rate of Desired Return:

r = [1+ (0.08 / 4)4 - 1]

r = 8.243%

Required Return according to Effective Interest Rate = 16,000 x 8.243% = $1,318.90

Total Required return for 6 Years = $1,318.90 x 6 = $7,913.40

Difference between Bond's return and Desired Rate = 15,061.20 - 7,913.40 = $7,147.80

So, extra return received in 6 Years = $7,147.80

So, the minimum selling price should be: 16,000 - 7,147.80 = $8,852.20
