Consider two assets with the following cash flow streams:   Asset A generates $4 at t=1, $3 at t=2, and $10 at t=3. Asset B generates $2 at t=1, $X at t=2, and $10 at t=3.   Suppose X=6 and the interest rate r is constant.   For r=0.1, calculate the present value of the two assets. Determine the set of all interest rates {r} such that asset A is more valuable than asset Draw the present value of the assets as a function of the interest rate.

Question

Consider two assets with the following cash flow streams:

 

Asset A generates $4 at t=1, $3 at t=2, and $10 at t=3.

Asset B generates $2 at t=1, $X at t=2, and $10 at t=3.

 

Suppose X=6 and the interest rate r is constant.

 

  1. For r=0.1, calculate the present value of the two assets.
  2. Determine the set of all interest rates {r} such that asset A is more valuable than asset
  3. Draw the present value of the assets as a function of the interest rate.
  4. Suppose r=0.2. Find the value X such that the present value of asset B is 12.
  5. Suppose the (one-period) interest rates are variable and given as follows: r01=0.1,r12=0.2, r23=0.3. Calculate the yield to maturity of asset A. (You can use Excel or ascientific calculator to find the solution numerically.)
