Expert Solution

1)

Correct answer to this question is option (A) i.e. Amount of loss less $100 less 10% of your AGI.

Reason : Personal casualty and theft losses attributable to a federally declared disaster are subject to the $100 per casualty and 10% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) limitations. Therefore we can deduct $ 100 and 10% of AGI from the amount of loss.

2)

a) Given

Present value = 2464.26

Future value = 4205.28

time period in years = 3

r = annual rate of interest = ?

We that that the future value is given by the following formula,

Future value = present value*(1+interest rate)^number of years

Substituting the above given values, we get

4205.28 = 2464.26*(1+r)^3

4205.28/ 2464.26 = (1+r)^3

1.7065 = (1+r)^3

(1.7065)^(1/3) = (1+r)

(1.7065)^(0.333) = (1+r)

1.1950 = 1+r

r = 1.1950 - 1

r = 0.1950

r = 19.5%

The interest rate that the bank will charge is 19.50

b)Given

Nominal rate of return = 11.18% = 0.1118

real rate of return = 6.53% = 0.0653

The inflation rate is computed as shown below:

(1 + Nominal rate of return) = (1 + real rate of return) x (1 + inflation rate)

(1 + 0.1118) = (1 + 0.0653) x (1 + inflation rate)

1.1118 = 1.0653*(1 + inflation rate)

1.1118/ 1.0653 = (1 + inflation rate)

1.0436 = 1+ inflation rate

inflation rate = 1.0436 - 1

inflation rate = 0.0436

inflation rate = 4.36%

Therefore the inflation rate is closest to 4.36

c) Given

Annual coupon rate = 3%

Semi annual coupon rate = 3%/2 = 1.5% = 0.015

Semi annual coupon = Semi annual coupon rate*par value

Semi annual coupon PMT = 0.015*1000 = $15

Annual YTM = 10%

Semiannual YTM = 10%/2 = 5% = 0.05

Years to maturity = 11

Semi annual period = 11*2 = 22

Price of the bond is given by the following formula,

P = PMT*(1/r)*(1-(1/(1+r))^t) + FV/ (1+r)^t

P = 15*(1/0.05)*(1-(1/(1+0.05)^22) + 1000/ (1+0.05)^22

P = 15*20*(1-(1/1.05)^22) + 1000/ (1.05)^22

P = 15*20*(1-(0.9524)^22) + 1000/ 2.9253

P = 15*20*(1-0.3418) + 1000/ 2.9253

P = 15*20*(0.6582) + 1000/ 2.9253

P = 197.4450 + 341.8497

P = 539.29

Therefore, the price of the bond is 539.29
