The free market is defined as the system in which the price of goods is agreed upon by consent between sellers and consumers, through the laws of supply and demand. Their requirements are the existence of free competition, (which in turn requires that among the participants of a commercial transaction there is no coercion, no fraud, or more generally, that all transactions are voluntary), complete universal information about the products and their prices, a free medium of exchange with a common currency, reasonable transaction costs, set of sellers and a set of buyers.

A 7-year, $1,000 par bond has an 8% annual coupon and is currently yielding 7.5%. The bond can be called in 3 years at a call pr

AVprozaik [17]

The Yield to call is 7.30%

Par value of Bond (FV) = $1,000

Annual Coupon (A) = 8%*1,000 = $80

Years until maturity = 8

Current YTM = 7.5%

We need to calculate the Current Price of Bond (PV)

PV = 80 * (P/A, 0.075, 7) + 1000 * (P/F, 0.075, 7)

PV = $1,026.48

Call Price = $1,010

Call Period = 3 years

Yield to call = ytc

1026.48 = 80* (P/A, ytc, 3) + 1010 * (P/F, ytc, 3)

Using the trail and error method,

Yield to call = 7.30%

In conclusion, the Yield to call is 7.30%

pickupchik [31]

Explanation:

Being a son, Steve should obey his parents and stay at home to babysit his six year old brother, because it is always the duty of children to give respect to their parents' decisions. Though he was super excited about the football match in which his school team was going to play against the long term rivals, but because his parents' friends had a call for meeting them after so long, they asked him to stay at home as he could have many more chances of seeing such matches.

But being a parent, I should respect my son's program of watching the football match, and take the baby with me, so that the program of both son and parents would not be disturbed.
