HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT 1. Callaghan Motors’ bonds have 10 years remaining to maturity. Interest is paid annually‚ they have a $1‚000 par value‚ the coupon interest rate is 8%‚ and the yield to maturity is 9%. What is the bond’s current market price? PV factor of sum = (1+i)^-n = (1+9%)^-10 =1.09^-10 = 0.4224 PV factor of annuity = 1 - (1+i)^-n / i = 1 - (1+9%)^-10 / 9% = 1 - 0.4224 / 9% = 0.5775 / 9% = 6.417 = PV factor of Sum * Par Value + PV factor of annuity * coupon payment = 0.4224 * 1‚000

Mendel used statistical analysis on his data from garden peas leading him to formulate his particulate theory of inheritance. One Trait Inheritance
