G suppose that a commercial bank wants to buy treasury bills. these instruments pay $500 in one year and are currently selling for 5012. what is the the yield to maturity

9.98%

Explanation:

Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity. It is a long term return which is expressed in annual term.

As per given data

Annual Payment = $500

Current price = $5,012

$500 payment each year for indefinite period of time is a perpetuity, value of perpetuity can be calculated as follow

Current Price = Annual Payment / Yield to maturity

Yield to maturity = Annual Payment / Current Price

Yield to maturity = ( Annual payment / Current price ) x 100

Yield to maturity = ( $500 / $5,012 ) x 100

Yield to maturity = 0.0998 x 100

Yield to maturity = 9.98%

x=3

step-by-step explanation:

this is really simple i saw that there was only one term (5x) and thought if that was 15 what would i have to multiply everything else to get it there? well if 5x became 15 then x would have to be 3 so plug the 3 in the x for the other equations and you get 15 for the other ones. so there you go. : )

107x106 is the answer
