A TIPS bond is issued in the principal amount of $1,000, paying 3.5%. Over the security's 5-year term, the inflation rate is 4%. What is the principal value of the bond at the end of 5 years? |
In addition to paying interest, a TIPS bond increases its principal value semiannually by the amount of inflation. If the inflation rate is 4% for 5 years, the principal value of the bond increases semiannually by that inflation rate. Allowing for compounding, the best choice would be the $1,219. This is computed by multiplying $1,000 by 102% 10 times.Reference: 5.1.1.4 in the License Exam Manual |

If the 12th was a non-business day, she invested the funds on the next available business day. Her monthly purchases were 30 shares, 22.5 shares, 25 shares, 20 shares and 18.1 shares. If she were to sell today at $10 per share, her cost basis is approximately: |
