To calculate the market value of the bonds, we can use the present value of future cash flows formula. The bond pays $50 semiannually, resulting in 30 payments (15 years x 2). The market interest rate is 8% annually, or 4% semiannually. The present value of the annuity (interest payments) and the present value of the par value at maturity can be calculated and summed to find the market value of the bond, which is approximately $1,165.51.

What are the advantages of a multinational business entering into a mature market economy?
There aren't many. A mature market economy, by definition, is one that has been around long enough to meet the needs of its consumers. For a multinational business (MB) to enter a market that has its needs already met is problematical. The advantages are whatever -internal- advantages the companies products and services offer. If the MB has lower costs and a lower sales price for similar goods then they have cost advantage, if more features or expanded product lines, then these. In short, just being "multinational" is of no real advantage in a mature market.
What was the interest rate on a ee bond in 1995?
In 1995, the interest rate on a Series EE savings bond was set at 6.0% for the first six months after purchase. After that period, the bond continued to earn interest based on a fixed rate that was adjusted every six months. It's important to note that the interest is compounded semiannually, and the bonds mature after 30 years.
Why is a change in required yield for preferred stock likely to have a great impact on price than a change in required yield for bonds?
Bonds have a maturity date while most preferred stocks are perpetual, which means they never mature. No matter the change in interest rates before maturity, bonds will eventually be worth par or 100 when they mature. So interest rate changes may affect the price in the near term but the investor will know what s/he will get at maturity. Since preferred stocks never mature, there is no value in the future that anchors the price of the bond. Therefore, if interest rates go up, the value of the preferred may be permanently impacted by a better interest rate than the stated dividend yield. Thus, the price of the preferred stock will be volatile than that of a bond.
How are nominal interest rate and real interest rate related?
The nominal interest rate is the baseline interest rate attached to an investment.The real interest rate is connected to the rate of inflation over the duration of your investment.The basic formula for determining the Real Interest Rate is:Real Interest Rate = Nominal Interest Rate - InflationHere's a basic example: If I buy a one-year, $100 savings bond with a 6% interest rate of return, I should receive $106 at the end of the year. This percentage--6%--is my nominal interest rate.Inflation changes the value of the total you receive at the end of the year. Inflation measures the rate of increase in the cost of goods and services; if you buy a table today for $100 and you buy the same table in a year for $103, that equals a 3% rate of inflation.If this happens the same year you are waiting for your bond to mature, you will still receive $106, but goods and services now cost $3 more than they did a year ago, which effectively reduces the value of your profit to $103. This means your real interest rate is actually 3%.3% Real Interest = 6% Nominal Interest - 3% Inflation
