1.Suppose we expected the third year’s annual demand for answering machines to be 1,200 units, which is 100 per month. We would not forecast each month to have a demand of 100, but we would adjust these based on the seasonal indices as follows.Calculate the seasonal indices.

2) Determine the magnitude of the seasonal ratio of the average quarter centered at that time period.

Bonds, for a federal treasury bill, were issued with a face value of $250,000 and a coupon rate of 0.20% per quarter, and payments are quarterly. This bond is bought in the bond market before maturation, and there are only 16 payments remaining. The next payment is due after three months (one quarter), which you collect if you buy this bond now. How much are you ready to pay for this bond today if the next interest payment is due today? As an investor, you wish to earn 1.6% compounded daily.

Hints: Find quarterly effective interest rate for this investor.

Coupon rate can be used to calculate recurrent revenues from this bond which will be coupon rate x face value.
