You buy a UST with a remaining maturity of 10 years at 99, The coupon rate is 6%. You project that 1 year from today, the 9-year UST yield will be 5%. And you project that 2 years from today the 8-year UST yield will be 7% a.) What is your projected total rate of return for the 1-year and 2-year horizon holding periods? You assume that your interest income can be reinvested at an annual rate of 5%. Interest is paid semiannually, and par is $1,000

Let's calculate the price of UST one-year from now using PV function

Insert N = 9 x 2 = 18, PMT = 6% x 1000 / 2 = 30, FV = 1000, I/Y = 5%/2 = 2.5%

=> Compute PV = $1,071.77 is the price in year 1

Similarly, price in year 2 can be calculated using I/Y = 7%/2 = 3.5% and N = 8 x 2 = 16

=> PV = $939.53 in year 2

Price today = $990

Now, total value at the end of year 1 = 30 x (1 + 5%/2) + 30 + 1071.77 = $1,132.52

Total Return for 1-year = 1,132.52 / 990 - 1 = 14.40%

Similarly, total value at the end of year 2 = 30 x (1 + 2.5%)^3 + 30 x (1 + 2.5%)^2 + 30 x (1 + 2.5%) + 30 + 939.53 = $1,034.10

Total Return for 2-year = 1,034.10 / 990 - 1 = 4.46%

answer; i believe the correct answer is radioactive decay);

employees use applications that are uniformed so that they are able to look over them more quickly because the do not want to spend a long time reading through the applications so they get all the infomation that the are looking for on the application they made so the do not have to read about unnessacary infomaton. so to make it simple it them find the person that they want to hirer faster with out wasting time.

i hope this i spelt things wrong i believe but this is why

mark me brainliest.

this website has me so much feel free to keep asking questions
