A 30-year maturity bond has a 5.6% coupon rate, paid annually. It sells today for $876.17. A 20-year maturity bond has a 5.1% coupon rate, also paid annually. It sells today for $896.9. A bond market analyst forecasts that in five years, 25-year maturity bonds will sell at yields to maturity of 6.6% and 15-year maturity bonds will sell at yields of 6.1%. Because the yield curve is upward sloping, the analyst believes that coupons will be invested in short-term securities at a rate of 7.1%. A. Calculate the (annualized) expected rate of return of the 30-year bond over the 5-year period.

B. What is the (annualized) expected return of the 20-year bond?

This exercise illustrates that poor quality can affect schedules and costs. a manufacturing process has 130 customer orders to fill. each order requires one component part that is purchased from a supplier. however, typically, 3% of the components are identified as defective, and the components can be assumed to be independent. (a) if the manufacturer stocks 130 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (b) if the manufacturer stocks 132 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (c) if the manufacturer stocks 135 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components?
