Suppose that you invest $50,000 into a downpayment on a $250,000 house, which has a price appreciation of 3% per year. Your mortgage is fixed at $ 36,000 per year, and your tenants pay you $24,000 per year. Property taxes, maintenance, and other expenses cost $5,000 per year. Suppose that after 25 years, you sell your property. Would it have been better to invest $ 50,000 in the stock market, assuming it has returns of 9% per year over the same time period (25 years)? Why? Show your calculations and justify your answer. For the purposes of this question, suppose that inflation is zero.
Please assist with the following question below with handwritten working: An investor purchased a bond that pays $5 coupons annually at the end of every year for five years. The purchase price was $100 and it was redeemed at par after five years.

A $1,000 par value bond was issued 25 years ago at a 12 percent coupon rate. It currently has 15 years remaining to maturity. Interest rates on similar obligations are now 8 percent. What is the current price of the bond? (Look up the answer in Table 16–2.) Assume Ms. Bright bought the bond three years ago when it had a price of $1,050. What is her dollar profit based on the bond’s current price? Further assume Ms. Bright paid 30 percent of the purchase price in cash and borrowed the rest (known as buying on margin). She used the interest payments from the bond to cover the interest costs on the loan. How much of the purchase price of $1,050 did Ms. Bright pay in cash? What is Ms. Bright’s percentage return on her cash investment? Divide the answer to part b by the answer to part c. Explain why her return is so high?
You bought a $1000 corporate bond for $900 three years ago. It is paying $30 in interest at the end of every 6 months, and it matures in 5 more years. (a) Compute its coupon rate.

An investor has purchased a 20-year bond with a nominal value of 1000 TL, an annual coupon interest rate of 10% and a commitment to pay coupon interest annually. The investor paid 850 TL for this bond. The annual interest rates in the market today are 12%. The investor sold the bond 2 years after receiving it when the interest rate on the market is 8%. Calculate the rate of return of the investor from this investment. Calculate what the rate of return would be if the investor sold this bond in the 3rd year. Consider that the market rate will be stable for upcoming years as 12%. Calculate the value of the bond in the 5th, 6th and 10th years. 11 years have passed since the receipt of the bond, and the market interest rates increased to 18%.
