Answer:

(a) 9.9%

(b)  10.09%

The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Coupon payment

=  $99

Price

=  $1,000

(a)

The Yield to maturity (YTM) will be:

= \frac{C+\frac{F-P}{n} }{\frac{F+P}{2} }

where,

C = Coupon payment

P = Price

n = years to maturity

F = Face value

On putting the estimated values is the above formula, we get

⇒  99+\frac{0}{1000}

⇒  .099

⇒  9.9%

(b)

Although the 1st year coupon was indeed reinvested outside an interest rate of r%, cumulative money raised will indeed be made at the end of 2nd year.  

= [99\times (1 + r)] + 1,099

Came to the realization compound YTM is therefore a function of r, as is shown throughout the table below:

Rate (r)             Total proceeds         Realized YTM ((\frac{proceeds}{1000} )^{.5} - 1)

7.9%                      1205.8                                   9.8%

9.9%                             1207.8                                   9.9%

11.9%                      1209.8                                  9.99%

Now,

Overall proceeds realized YTM:

= \frac{proceeds}{1000} -18 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2081208}{1000} - 1

= 0.0991

= 9.91 \ percent \ 10 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2101210}{1000}- 1

= 0.1000

= 10.00 \ percent \ 12 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2121212}{1000}-1

= 0.1009

= 10.09%

What common flaw has been found in research studies funded by pharmaceutical companies?
marissa [1.9K]

The common flaw that was found in research funded by pharmaceutical companies was a lack of transparency.

<h3 /><h3>Why is transparency needed in the pharmaceutical industry?</h3>

It is essential that there is greater awareness, control and review of pharmaceutical research, as this industry directly impacts the health and quality of life of individuals, and must be an ethical and accessible means to the population.

Therefore, the lack of transparency in the pharmaceutical industry can occur due to centralization and conflict of interests, in addition to bribery and fraud, and must be duly fought by control, legislation and punishment for such actions.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:discharge by frustration of purpose

Explanation:

Discharge by frustration of purpose is a defense concept used in law in order to bring about a breach or termination of a contract.This occurs when unplanned,spontaneous or unforeseen circumstances occurs and thus,it prohibits or prevents the core reason in which the contract was being entered into at the time of the contracts agreement,with both parties fully aware of the core reason which brought about the establishment of the contract.That is to say,the primary objective in which the contract was being created upon has automatically brought about a halt of the secondary reason(which is the contract itself),having in mind that both parties were originally aware of the primary reason for entering the contract.

Here,Paul and Patti Smith rented a room an amount triple it's original price because they were so excited to hear Lincoln speak. A day before Lincoln's speech, he was assassinated.So this disappointment brought about a "discharge by frustration of purpose" by the Smiths,not forgetting that that The bed and breakfast knew it was their original intent,that's why they paid such exorbitant prices for the room rental,although it sued them.
