A)You have just taken a 30-year mortgage loan for $260,000. The annual percentage rate on the loan is 4.25%, and payments will be made monthly. Estimate your monthly payments. Assume compounding is monthly. Prepare an amortization table.
B) At age 30, Susan starts investing $18,000 per year with the investments at the end of each year. She does this for 9 years. She never invests any more but she leaves this money in the no-load mutual fund. The fund earns 8% per year. Calculate the value of the fund when Ann is 65. Assume compounding is annually.
C) For question B above, assuming Ann makes equal withdrawals from her retirement account at the end of each year from age 65 to age 85, how much does she withdraw to bring the fund to zero?

4. Bond yields
Coupon payments are fixed, but the percentage return that investors receive varies based on market conditions. This percentage return is referred to as the bond’s yield.
Yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of return expected from a bond held until its maturity date. However, the YTM equals the expected rate of return under certain assumptions. Which of the following is one of those assumptions?
The bond has an early redemption feature.
The bond will not be called.
Consider the case of Badger Corp.:
Badger Corp. has 9% annual coupon bonds that are callable and have 18 years left until maturity. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, and their current market price is $1,040.35. However, Badger Corp. may call the bonds in eight years at a call price of $1,060. What are the YTM and the yield to call (YTC) on Badger Corp.’s bonds?

Assume that the distributions of percentage foreign revenue are mound-shaped and symmetric for these two company types.
(a) Use a calculator with mean and standard deviation keys to calculate x1, s1, x2, and s2. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
| x1 = | % |
| s1 = | % |
| x2 = | % |
| s2 = | % |
(b) Let μ1 be the population mean for
x1 and let μ2 be the
population mean for x2. Find a 98% confidence
interval for μ1 − μ2.
