Answer:

(b) + 4.89%

Explanation:

Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows. The coupon payment and cash flow at maturity is discounted to calculate the value of the bond.

Assuming the face value of the bond is $1,000

As per given data

Coupon payment = $1,000 x 8.4% = $84 annually = $42 semiannually

Number of periods = n = 19 years x 2 = 38 periods

Yield to maturity = 7.2% annually = 3.6% semiannually

To calculate Price of the bond use following formula

Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Price of the Bond =$42 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 3.6% )^-38 ) / 3.6% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 3.6% )^38 ]

Price of the Bond = $42 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.036 )^-38 ) / 0.036 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.036 )^38 ]

Price of the Bond = $862.38 + $260.81

Price of the Bond = $1,123.19

There is an increase in selling price

Change in price = $1,123.19 - $1,070.85 = 52.34

Percentage change = 52.34 / $1,070.85 = 4.89%

olganol [36]

Explanation:

Cash dividends paid=opening cash dividends payable +cash dividends declared-closing cash dividends payable

opening cash dividends payable is $27,000

cash dividends declared is $55,000

closing cash dividends payable is $30,800

cash dividends paid =$27,000+$55,000-$30,800=$51,200

The amount of cash transfers made in respect of shareholders dividends in the year is $51,200.

The logic is that the whatever is left unpaid at year end should be deducted from the balance owed year plus the new dividends declared this year
