An investor thought that market interest rates were going to decline. He paid $19,000 for a corporate bond with a face value of $20,000. The bond has an interest rate of 10% per year payable annually. If the investor plans to sell the bond immediately after receiving the 4th interest payment, how much will he have to receive in order to make a return of 14% per year? Solve using: a. tabulated factors
b. the GOAL SEEK tool on a spreadsheet.

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

a. In this part, we need to calculate the present worth using the formula to calculate the sale price of the bond.

As the coupon rate = 10% per year

So,

The Annual dividend will = 2000 = 10% x 20,000

19000 = 2000 (P/A, 14%,4) + B(P/F,14%,4)

19000 = 2000 (2.9137) + B (0.592)

Solving for B = Desired sales price of the bond

B =

B = 22251

b. Part b of this question is to solve using GOAL SEEK feature of a spreadsheet so, I have attached it in the attachment. Please refer to the attachment for the solution of part b.

answer; (b) insider trading;

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
