Answer:
When using a financial calculator to compute the issue price of the bonds, the applicable periodic interest rate ("I") is 3.923%
Explanation:
Hi, first, the discount interest rate that you have to choose is 8%, because 9% is the coupon rate (which in our case would be 9%/2=4.5% and this is used only to find the amount to be paid semi-annually).
Now we know we have to choose 8%, but this is an effective rate (I know this is an effective rate because no units were mentioned), and by definition it is a periodic rate, but it is not the rate that we need since the payments are going to be made in a semi-annual way, therefore we need to use the following equation.
![r(semi-annual)=[1+r(annual)]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%28semi-annual%29%3D%5B1%2Br%28annual%29%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%7D%20-1)
So, everything should look like this.
![r(semi-annual)=[1+0.08]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.03923](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%28semi-annual%29%3D%5B1%2B0.08%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%7D%20-1%3D0.03923)
Therefore, the periodic interest that yuo have to use to calculate the price of the bond is 3.923%
Best of luck.

I think the answer is A. Sorting and charting data from surveys
Answer:
The cash paid on May 8 is: $5,880
Explanation:
Credit terms of 2/10, net 30 means that 2% discount for the payment within 10 days and the full amount to be paid within 30 days.
The company purchased $6,500 of merchandise on May 1. On May 6, it returned $500 of that merchandise.
The balance owed for merchandise = $6,500 - $500 = $6,000
On May 8, it paid the balance owed for merchandise, taking any discount it is entitled to.
The company took the appropriate discount:
2% x $6,000 = $120
The cash paid = $6,000 - $120 = $5,880
