Answer:
d. treasury and top-grade corporate bonds pay interest two times each year
Explanation:
Treasury bonds represent the best solution for investing, having in mind the <u>low-risk aspect</u> and the fact that they are <u>issued by the government</u>. Treasury and top-grade corporate bonds always pay <u>semiannual interests</u>.
<em>Junk bonds</em> should not be even considered in risk-free options, as a junk bond is a bond issued by a struggling company, which may happen not to pay any interest sometimes.
<em>Common stock</em> does not necessarily have to pay quarterly dividends, as some companies pay dividends monthly, or even annually. Also, the risk is still lower in treasury bonds, as common stock becomes questionable in the case of company liquidation. If and when that happens, common stockholders gain rights to company assets only after bondholders and preferred shareholders become paid.
The default risk is present in all bonds, including <em>Yankee bonds</em>, which are issued by foreign companies in the USA.

Answer:
Bond Price= $1,195.82
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Face value= $1,000
YTM= 0.05/2= 0.025
Years tomaturity= 8*2= 16 semesters
Coupon= (0.08/2)*1,000= $40
<u>To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 40*{[1 - (1.025^-16)] / 0.025} + [1,000/(1.025^16)]
Bond Price= 522.2 + 673.62
Bond Price= $1,195.82

Answer:
RETAINED EARNINGS = $364,700
Explanation:
Retained earnings are nothing but the profit that a corporation earns up to a specific date. In the question we have been given the retained earnings of the previous year ( 31 December, 2013) and we have to calculate the retained earnings for the present year (31 December, 2014). For this calculation would be like -
RETAINED EARNINGS ( 2013) - $340,800
+
NET PROFIT - $56,500
-
DIVIDEND PAID - $32,600
RETAINED EARNINGS (2014) = $340,800 + $56,500 - $32,600
= $364,700
