B. The lengthier the maturity of a bond selling at a reduction, all else held persistent, the lesser the price of the bond!
Part B: The Crescent Corporation just paid a dividend of $2 per share and is expected to continue paying the same amount each year for the next 4 years. If you have a required rate of return of 13%, plan to hold the stock for 4 years, and are confident that it will sell for $30 at the end of 4 years, how much should you offer to buy it at today?

In this scenario we have an annuity of $2.00 for 4 year periods, followed by a lump sum of 30 to be discounted at 13% for respective number of 4 years: the answer should be -24.35

Part C: Use the information in the following table to answer the questions below.

State of Economy Probability of State Return on A in State Return on B in State Return on C in State
Boom .35 0.040 0.210 0.300
Normal .50 0.040 0.080 0.200
Recession .15 0.040 -0.010 -0.260
