Frances is an 84-year-old woman who suffers from macular degeneration, osteoporosis, and arthritis. Since her husband died a year ago, she has moved from their family house to a small apartment. Her eyesight is progressively getting worse, making it hard to go to the grocery store or even to cook (for fear of burning herself). She is often lonely. Her only son lives 1 hour away and works 2 jobs, but he visits her as often as he can. Frances has lost her appetite and, as a result, often skips meals during the week. She has resorted to eating mostly cold foods, which are simple to prepare but are seriously limiting variety and palatability in her diet. She is slowly losing weight as a result of her dietary changes and loss of appetite. Her typical diet usually consists of a breakfast that may include a slice of wheat toast with margarine, honey, and cinnamon and a cup of hot tea. If she has lunch, she normally has a small can of peaches, half of a turkey and cheese sandwich, and a small glass of iced tea. She usually eats 2 cookies at bedtime.

What are the potential consequences of this dietary pattern? What services are available that could help Frances improve her diet and possibly increase her appetite? What other easy-to-prepare foods could be included in her diet to make it more healthful and more varied?

Edith Johnson owned a used Jayco brand pop-up camper that she inherited when her husband, Mark, passed away last year.  Edith advertised the pop-up camper for sale in a local newspaper for $5,000 or best offer.  Eric Young, seeing the ad and in the market for a camper, responded to the ad and met with Edith at her home to inspect the camper.

After some discussion, the Eric proposed to pay Edith $4,500 for the trailer, as-is, with a deposit of $500 in cash and the balance due on delivery the following week when Eric could come back with his 1 ton pick up to tow the camper home.  The two shook hands, and Edith wrote out a simple receipt for Eric’s deposit for the camper.

The following week, Eric did not appear and did not respond to Edith’s phone calls concerning the camper. Upset that Eric did not complete the transaction, Edith sold the camper to another buyer for $4,000.  Edith then called the attorney handling her late husband’s estate, and filed a district court action against Eric for receiving less than the agreed price, plus her incidental costs and attorney’s fees.  After receiving service, Eric filed a Notice of Intention to Defend, where he generally denied Edith’s complaint, and also raised the affirmative defense of the statute of frauds under UCC § 2-201.

Discuss whether section 2-201 excuses Eric’s performance under the contract.  Be sure to explain your answer by reference to the statute and the facts above.

Three investors invest in the same 10-year 8% annual coupon bond. They bought the bond at the same price ($85.503075 for a par value of $100) and at the same time. A is a buy-and-hold investor (hold till maturity), B will sell the bond after four years, and C will sell the bond after seven years.

1. What is the yield to maturity of this bond?
2. For each of these three investors, find the total cash flow (in dollar amount) at the time of maturity (for A) and at the time of sale (for B and C).
3. After the bond is purchased by the three investors and before the first coupon is received, interest rate go up to 11.4%. What happens to the realized yield of these investors?
4. The Macaulay duration of this bond is: 7.0029 years. The difference between the Macaulay duration of a bond and the investment horizon is called the duration gap. For each of these three investors, find their respective duration gap.
5. Combine answers from ABCD, what are the relations between duration gap, interest rate risk, and reinvestment risk?

Nathan purchased a 6-year Treasury bond with a coupon rate of j2 = 3.50% p.a. and a face value of $100 that matures at par. Coupons can be reinvested at j2 = 3.2% p.a. for the first five and a half years.

a. Calculate Nathan’s purchase price for this bond at a yield rate of j2 = 3.1% p.a. (rounded to three decimal places).

b. Assume that Nathan held this bond to maturity to earn a total realised compound yield of j2 = 3.13% p.a. Based on your result from part a, calculate the reinvestment rate for the last half year. Give your answer in j2 form, rounded to two decimal places.

c. Assume that Nathan held this bond for 3 years and sold it for a yield of j2 = 3.8% p.a. Based on your result from part a, calculate the holding period yield in j2 form, rounded to two decimal places. Include in your answer a cash flow diagram, drawn from Nathan’s perspective, that models the purchase and sale of the bond.
