Both bonds pay $100 annual interest plus $1,000 at maturity. Bond L has a maturity of 15 years, and Bond S a maturity of 1 year.
Anyone know of a good financial calculator to come up with the following:

a. What will be the value of each of these bonds when the going rate of interest is (1) 5 percent, (2) 8 percent, and (3) 12 percent? Assume that there is only one more interest payment to be made on Bond S.


b. Why does the longer-term (15-year) bond fluctuate more when interest rates change than does the shorter-term bond (1-year)?

I have a 2006 vibe that is worth 14,000 dollars according to kelly blue book. I want to sell it because I can't afford my $420 a month payment. However, I still owe 21,000 on the car and my negative equity is so great (-7,000) that the car dealers can't make me a deal. ( I am looking to downsize my payments) Should I just sell the car for what it is worth and bite the bullet and continue to make the payments? or just keep it and be cash strapped?

I have been with a company for over 3 years and I really love it however, my position has been eliminated. I have a job interview within the company tomorrow for a position that will take me down a totally new career path and I'm really nervous. I'm rusty at answering interview questions such as:

1. What are your weaknesses

2. How would you handle a situation in which you had to persuade someone to work on a project that they did not want to?

3. How do you handle conflict in the work place?

Serious answers only please. Help! Oh, and wish me luck! ;o)

I asked a question about this job interview earlier today. Now I am re-phrasing it. (see above). Is common courtesy not so common anymore? I mean seriously. All I want to know is, am I still in the running or not. Am I still under consideration for the position?

I'm interested in buying Lowe's stock. It seems like a good value company and has good ROE with low debt. Also, Buffett is buying Lowe's so it must be a decent stock.
The only problem with Lowe's is that the housing market is dead cold right now, the retail sector is underperforming and the US economy is expected to slow down and maybe even hit another recession. But Lowe's stock keeps going up. It's gone up $1.20 in a week. It doesn't make sense to me. I don't understand how a home improvement retailer in a time like this can be going up in price. With all the bad news about the housing market, retail, and the economy, it seems like it should be losing value.

What do you think? Is Lowe's a good buy right now? As of today, 12/05, it's priced at 31.24 with a P/E of 15.43.

ok you want to buy a house,but the interest rates are high and you end up paying double by the end of the term.i have this idea that could potentialy work.what would you say if a pound you give could buy a house for someone or vice versa .for example if 1000 gave 10 pounds each they could buy a house for someone.even better they can create a organisation and buy houses for each other over the years without the need to borrow.what do you think?

What does that really mean when it reads like "must have proven accounting experience"??

Does that mean all the work experience you mention in the resume must be provided with a referee to prove that they are true??

I am getting to a point in my life where I want to smell the scent of freedom. I live at home. Im trying to repay some debts. Im not being forced to leave but I feel so out of place at home. I despise the lack of privacy I have and I feel like I don't get any respect for staying at home. Really my plans were to stay at home until 24 or so (im 20) to prepare and to go to school. My folks seem to be okay with me staying at home for a while.

Getting to the point...

Should I wait or Should I move out?

Id love to be on my own. I feel like I would be so much happier.

Also, If i decide to move out soon, what sort of things should I do to prepare? Starting money? Furniture? Transportation? What are your average costs for living? (In an appartments pls) What sort of things should I consider besides the practicallity of this descision?
