b) & c) With a same $18,000 investment, in order to earn $35,000 after 6 years, how the nominal interest rates of the First National Bank differ if coumpounded annually, semiannually, quarterly and daily? Known factors ??? Solution: iN= n*[(FV/PV)¬1/(n*6) - 1] FV=$35,000 PV=$18,000 N=6 year Sub-Question n= Compounding frequency: a) 1 (Annual) EAR = ($35,000/$18,000)¬1/6 - 1=11.72% b) 2 (Semiannual) EAR =2* [($35,000/$18,000)¬1/(2*6)

much easier to calculate the FV of annuity when the payments are made at semiannual compounding, the periodic rate is simply the nominal rate divided by two (number of compounding periods per year). Thus, the result should be: • If compounded quarterly: Now if the payment periods remain the same, while the interest is compounded quarterly, once again, the payment periods do not correspond to the compounding periods. An adjusted periodic rate for semiannual payment (Is) must be calculated

5 Hedging Interest-Rate Risk with Duration Before implementing any kind of hedging method against the interest-rate risk, we need to understand how bond prices change, given a change in interest rates. This is critical to successful bond management. 5.1 Basics of Interest-Rate Risk: Qualitative Insights The basics of bond price movements as a result of interest-rate changes are perhaps best summarized by the five theorems on the relationship between bond prices and yields. As an illustration

 Limited liability corporation (LLC) – This form of organization is like an S corporation in that it is taxed as a partnership but primarily functions like a corporation.

Futures contract In finance, a futures contract is a standardized contract between two parties to exchange a specified asset of standardized quantity and quality for a price agreed today (the futures price or the strike price) but with delivery occurring at a specified future date, the delivery date. The contracts are traded on a futures exchange. The party agreeing to buy the underlying asset in the future, the "buyer" of the contract, is said to be "long", and the party agreeing to sell the asset

characteristics of residential mortgage loans? Why does the ratio of adjustable-rate mortgages to fixed-rate mortgages in the economy vary over an interest rate cycle? When would the ratio be highest? Residential mortgage contracts differ in size, the ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property, the maturity of the loan, the rate of interest of the loan, and whether the interest rate is fixed or adjustable. In addition, mortgage agreements differ in the amount of fees, commissions, discounts

How much money do you have to leave to your heirs 50 years from now assuming that will compound at 6% interest? Assuming that you have not invested anything today, how much would you have to invest yearly to fully fund the annuity in 50 years, again assuming a 6% monthly compounding rate?

exciting—risk/return profiles may fail to meet the payoff criteria that management has established. Let 's look at a typical (hypothetical) project that would be rejected on the basis of the incomplete DCF analysis common in industry today. Then we 'll show how a more complete and careful analysis reveals the project to be not only acceptable but highly desirable. Our project has three distinct phases, as shown in Exhibit II. If the research (Phase 1) is successful, the project moves to market development
