Bond prices and yields Assume that the Financial Management Corporation's $1 comma 000-par-value bond has a 7.800 % coupon,
1 answer:
Answer:
(a) Dollar price of the bond = Par value × Current price percentage
= $1,000 × 106.124%
= $1,061.24
(b) Bond's current yield:
Annual interest paid in dollars = Bond par value × Rate of interest
= $1,000 × 7.8%
= $78
= 0.0734
= 7.34%
(c) Issue price of bond is $1,000 and current maturity price is $1,061.24. Thus, bond price is greater than the par value.
(d) Current yield is the return on bond at current price. Yield to maturity is 6.588 % and current yield is 7.34%. Since the current price is more than the par value, therefore, YTM is lower than the current yield.

Answer:
for $16000 plan B is better than A
Explanation:
We are searching for the stage where Plan A's compensation is less than Plan B's compensation.
Plan A < Plan B
let total of Curt's sales be the x,
x is the basis of the commission under Plan A, but the first 5000 of sales are excluded i.e (x - 5000) from the basis of commissions under Plan B.
350 + x(0.10) < 750 + (x - 5000)(0.15)
800 -750 < (0.15) x - 5000(0.15) - (0.10)x
50 < (0.15 - 0.10)x - 750
50+750 < (0.05)x
800 < (0.05)x
16000 < x
