A 3.125 percent TIPS has an original reference CPI of 185.1. If the current CPI is 210.4, what is the par value and current interest payment of the TIPS? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places.) Interest rate Reference CPI Current CPI 3.125% 185.1 210.4 Complete the following analysis. Do not hard code values in your calculations. Par value Interest payment.

Par value $1,136.68

Interest payment $17.76

Explanation:

Par value or Face value is the values written on the face of security. The par value of the TIPS is directly proportional to the CPI, as CPI increases the face value of the TIPS is also increasead and vice versa.

First we need to list the available data

Original reference CPI = 185.1

Current CPI = 210.4

Standard Par value = $1,000

Use following Formula to calculate the related par value

Par Value = Standard Par value x Current CPI / Original reference CPI

Placing values in the formula

Par Value = $1,000 x 210.4 / 185.1

Par Value = $1,136.68

Now calculate the semiannual interest payment

Interest payment = Par value x Interest rate x Semiannual fraction

Placing values in the formula

Interest payment = $1,136.68 x 3.125% x 6/12

Interest payment = $17.76

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
