Answer:
A) the bond's yield to maturity is equal to its coupon rate
Explanation:
If the bonds yield to maturity is equal to its coupon rate it means that the interest paid by the buyers on the face value of the bond is equal to the internal rate of return for the present value of future cash flow. Only in this scenario, a bond is traded at its face or par value.
Answer: c. A bilateral contract
Explanation:
In a bilateral contract, the parties involved promise to both perform duties to the other which will make them both an obligor and an obligee.
An obligor is one who owes a duty to another and the obligee is one who a duty is owed to.
Aaron both owes a duty to sell the boat to Matt as well as being owed by Matt the duty to buy his boat. The same goes for Matt thus making this a bilateral contract.
Answer: $2,600
Explanation:
Because Andrew is married, the gift tax on him is split in half between him and his wife. This means that to each of his daughters, the gift tax will be on:
= 20,900 / 2
= $10,450
This amount is less than the gift exclusion limit of $15,000 so Andrew will not be charged taxes on the gifts to his daughters.
On the gift to Brianna's niece, Andrew's gift tax will be based on:
= 35,200 / 2
= $17,600
This is above the gift exclusion limit of $15,000 by:
= 17,600 - 15,000
= $2,600
<em>The above would therefore be Andrew's taxable gift amount. </em>
Compounding. If you compound your interest, then your interest rate will go up, and you get more interest.
