Bond A has the following features:

         Face value = $1,000,       

Coupon Rate = 9%,       

Maturity = 9 years, Yearly coupons

         The market interest rate is 4.56%

         If interest rates remain at 4.56%, what will the price of bond A be in year 1?

28

How much would you pay today for a bond that has a face value of $1,000, and annual coupon of $74 and a maturity of 9 years? (=what is the price of the bond?)

         The annual interest rate is 6.44%?

Given the following information, what is TODAY’s stock price?

Calculate your answer to the nearest penny (e.g., 2.51)

30

Given the following information, what is the percentage capital gain/loss between today and period 1?

Calculate your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 2.51)

If there is a loss indicate this by using a negative number (e.g., -4.29)

The estimated average concentration of NO2 in air in the United States in 2006 was 0.016 ppm.

Calculate the partial pressure of the NO2 in a sample of this air when the atmospheric pressure is 748 torr (99.7 kPa ).

How many molecules of NO2 are present under these conditions at 17 ∘C in a room that measures 16 × 11 × 6 ft ?

1. Between 2006 and 2009, Betty appeared in 23 episodes of The Bold and The Beautiful. The work was quite different from her time on sitcoms. This led her to think about the following hypotheses:

H₀: Soap opera acting is the same difficulty as sitcom acting

H_a: Soap opera acting is harder than sitcom acting

Describe what a Type I error would look like in the context of this scenario.

In 2006 the State of Indiana in the USA sold a 75-year concession to operate and maintain the East-West Toll Road. Before doing so, it commissioned a consulting report that estimated the value of the concession. Table 1 shows the forecasted cash flow from the toll road.

Calculate the present value of the concession using a discount rate of 6%. Cash flows are reported in Table 1 for each ten-year block up until 2066–2075 with the last block as five years (2076–2081). Assume in your calculations that cash flows are spread evenly during those blocks. Explain your calculations showing for each year the applicable discount rate and for each block the present value.

PS:please calculate in order to see and understand the PV for each block
