5. Suppose after you graduate from Algoma University, you find a job that pays you $75,000 a
year. Further suppose that you take out a home equity loan of $360,000 for 30 years at an
annual interest rate of 3.5 percent, with payments to be made monthly. What will your monthly
payments be? If the interest rate increases from 3.5 percent to 5.0 percent, how much will your
monthly payments increase? Instead of 30 years, you decide to pay your loan in 25 years, what
will your monthly payments be if the interest rate remains at 3.5 percent or increases to 5.0
percent. Develop a chart comparing these monthly payments. Show your work.

The following are correct statements about the impact of Market Interest Rate (i*) on value and return of a typical Coupon Bond, EXCEPT: The YTM of a Bond and the Market Interest Rate (i*) are the same value, even in the Short Term. O For a long term bond, if the Market Interest rate (i*) is expected to increase, the current Price of such Bond will Decline. For a two period Bond, if the Market Interest rate (i*) is expected to increase in the next period, the Expected Total Return (RET) on such bond will decline. Long Term Bonds are considered more risky than Short Term bonds, in part due to the risk associated to changes in future interest rates.arrow_forward

Present value can be used to determine the fair price -or value - of a bond. In the examples that follow, assume you are working with zero-coupon bond and that there are no transaction costs. A zero-coupon bond is one that pays all interest and the principal when the bond matures. For example, suppose somebody offers to sell you a bond that will pay a future value of $225 – interest included - when it matures in two years. If the current market interest rate is 3%, then what would be a fair price for you to pay for this bond? a. The value of a bond changes whenever the current market interest rates change. For example, suppose you bought a bond in 2015 that promises to pay you 5% annual interest until it matures in 2020. The value of your bond (i.e., the price that you can sell it for if you choose to sell it before maturity) will change if the market interest rate changes. To understand why, work through the following examples. b. Suppose you purchased a bond for $181.82 that will…arrow_forwardSuppose that the interest rate at which Joanne can borrow and lend is 10 percent per year, but she can earn $22,000 with a high school degree. Her tuition and books at college cost $6,000 and her living expenses are $15,000 per year. Savings are deposited at the end of the year they are earned and receive (compound) interest at the end of each subsequent year. Similarly, the loans are taken out at the end of the year in which they are needed, and interest does not accrue until the end of the subsequent year. Now that the interest rate has risen, should Joanne go to college or go to work?arrow_forward
