5‐year bond is issued with a 5% coupon. After 1 year and 40 days from its issue, the owner decides to sell it. Calculate the price at which the buyer sells the bond (clean price) and the actual price received by the seller. Consider an interest rate of 3%.

Clean price: Answer % (rounded to the second decimal)

Price paid by the buyer: Answer % (rounded to the second decimal)

1. A 20 year annuity has annual payments which increase by $500 each year. The first payment is $10,500 on Jan. 1, 2018. The annual effective interest is 1%. What is the value of the annuity on Oct. 1, 2017?

The answer should be $274,250.53 And I don't have more information about this...this is how the problem looks like.

2. A loan is repaid with level installments payable at the end of each half-year for 3(1/2) years, at a nominal rate of interest of 8% convertible semiannually. After the 4th payment, the outstanding loan balance is $5000. Find the amount of the loan.

3. Perpetuities in arithmetic progression. If a perpetuity has first payment P and each payment increases by Q, then its present value, one period before the first payment, is P/i + Q/i^2 Using this formula, find the present value of a perpetuity-immediate which has annual payments with first payment $360 and each subsequent payment increasing by $40, at annual interest rate 1.3%.

4. Filip buys a perpetuity-immediate with varying annual payments. During the first 5 years, the payment is constant and equal to 10. Beginning in year 6, the payments start to increase. For year 6 and all future years, the current year’s payment is K% larger than the previous year’s payment. At an annual effective interest rate of 9.2%, the perpetuity has a present value of 167.50. Calculate K, given that K < 9.2.
