Bond X is a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond pays a coupon rate of 12 percent, has a YTM of 10 percent, and has 16 years to maturity. Bond Y is a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond pays a coupon rate of 10 percent, has a YTM of 12 percent, and also has 16 years to maturity. The bonds have a $1,000 par value. What is the price of each bond today?

Price of x bond = $1158.02  

Price of y bond  = $1000

Explanation:

given data

bonds value = $1,000 par value

x bond

coupon rate = 12 percent = 0.12

YTM = 10 percent = 0.10 = 0.05 semi annual

maturity = 16 years = 32 semi annual

y bond

coupon rate = 10 percent = 0.10

YTM = 12 percent = 0.12 = 0.06 semi annual

maturity = 16 years  = 32 semi annual

solution

For x bond

first we get here semi annual coupon payment that is express as

semi annual payment = bonds value × coupon rate × time period   .........1

semi annual payment = $1000 × 0.12 × 0.5

semi annual payment = $60

and

Price of bond will be

Price of bond = semi annual payment ×       ..........................2

put here value and we get

Price of bond = 60 ×  

Price of bond = $1158.02  

and

For y  bond

semi annual payment = bonds value × coupon rate × time period   .........3

semi annual payment = $1000 × 0.10 × 0.5

semi annual payment = $50

and

Price of bond will be

Price of bond = semi annual payment ×       ..........................4

put here value and we get

Price of bond = 50 ×  

Price of bond  = $1000

start by isolating the variable on one side by adding 43w^2 to both sides.   the equation will read:

25w^2+5=0

*subtract 5 from both sides*

25w^2=-5

*divide both sides by 25*

w^2=-1/5

*take the square root of both sides*

w=√(-1/5)

the square root of -1 is i.   the square root of 5 remains √5

the answer is i/√5.

hope this

answer: 11/12

step-by-step explanation: 4 1/4 and 3 1/3 is equivalent to 4 3/12 and 3 4/12. 4 3/12 - 3 4/12 =11/12
