Good day!1. Current Bond Price = $979.032. Risk Free Rate = 7.80%3. Yield To Maturity = 9.69%I hope this helps.Thank you so much! :)
Thank YOu, XXXXX XXXXX will acept yr answer, but number2 is wrong. 7.80 is marked wrong on my assigment, Can you please let e know what you rounded too or the formula you used? Thanks!!!
The formula I used is Risk Free Rate = Real Rate + Inflation Premium= 6% +1.8% = 7.8%
The formula I have is (1+R)=(1+r)(1+h) , do you have any alternative to the answer other than 7.80% ...??
If this is the case, then, please try:(1 + 0.06) / (1 + 0.018) - 1 = rr = 4.13%
THanks for trying, but that answer still shows wrong. when i submitted it. If you have any other ideas let me know..otherwise thanks for trying!
