Answer:

Yield to Maturity(YTM) = 3.47%

Explanation:

<em>The yield to maturity is the required rate of return (discount rate) that would equate the price of the bond and cash outflow  expected from the bond.  The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:  </em>

YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)  

YTM-Yield to maturity-  

C- coupon  

F- Face Value  

P- Current Price  

DATA  

Coupon = coupon rate × Nominal value = 1,000 × 8%× 1/2=40(note we divide by 2 because interest is paid semi-annually)

n= 4×2 = 8 (note there 2 half months in a year)

Face Value = 1000

YM-?, C-40, Face Value - 1,000, P-103.75/100×   1000 = 1037.5

YM = (40 + (1000-1037)/8) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 1037.5  ) )  =0.0347

YM = 0.0347 × 100 = 3.47%  

Yield to Maturity = 3.47%

<span>The error is called a comma split. That is because the two clauses are connected with a comma without a conjunction and this is ungrammatical. You should either turn them into two sentences, or add a conjunction, or turn the comma into a semi-colon. This way you would correct the error.</span>

Answer:

$131.58

The computation of the new stock price is shown below:

= Selling price of stock per share ÷ current number of shares

= $250 ÷ 1.90

= $131.58

Since the 90% dividend is declared. It means for each share 90% dividend is declared so after stock dividend, the number of shares would be

= 1 + 90%

= 1 + 0.9

= 1.9

We simply divide the selling price by the current number of shares
