Answer:

Annual coupon rate should be: 6.88%

Explanation:

* Yield to maturity (YTM) in semiannual format calculation:

+ Semi annual coupon payment = 1,000 x 8% /2 = $40;

+ The YTM is the discount rate that brings the present value of coupon streams and face value repayment from the bond equals to its current price. So, we have:

  1,080 = [ (40/YTM) x ( 1 - (1+YTM)^(-20) ] + 1,000/(1+YTM)^20 <=> YTM = 3.44%

* Coupon rate calculation:

If the company wants to sell at par ( meaning they wants to gets $1,000), the coupon rate should be equal to the YTM, which is calculated above at 3.44% semiannual.

=> Annual coupon rate = 3.44% x 2 = 6.88%.

So, the answer is 6.88%.

Answer:

Coupon rate is 7.41%

Explanation:

Using the price formula , the yield to maturity can be calculated first of all:

Bond price=coupon interest /yield to maturity

Bond price is $1080

coupon interest is 8%*$1000=$80

$1080=$80/yield to maturity

$1080*yield to maturity=$80

yield to maturity=$80/$1080

                         =7.41%

However if the price of the bond becomes the par value, the coupon rate can be calculated thus:

$1000=coupon payment/7.41%

coupon payment =$1000*7.41%

coupon payment=$74.1

coupon rate=$74.1/100=7.41%

Explain how each of the following will affect the net public​ debt, other things being equal. a. ​Previously, the government ope
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

A. - The net public debt decreases

The net public debt decreases because the government has obtained more funds in tax revenue. For this reason, the government will likely run a budget surplus.

B. - The net public debt increases

The government was already running a budget deficit (albeit a small one). With the effects of the hurricane, the government will have to spend more to help the people affected, and will likely have to borrow even more, increasing its deficit.

C. - The net public debt remains unchanged

There was a transfer of funds from one government agency to the other, and the net effect of such transfer is likely to be very small to make any significant change in the net public debt. The net public debt remains unchanged.

West company declared a $0.50 per share cash dividend. the company has 190,000 shares issued, and 10,000 shares in treasury stoc
Damm [24]
To record the dividend declaration
   Ordinary Share Capital   $90000
          Dividend Payable         $90000
to record payment
     Dividend Payable         $90000
           Cash                            $90000

The amount is derived from the shares issued and outstanding so, the 190000 issued is deducted by 10000 treasury shares because treasury shares are reacquired by the company so it is not an outstanding share, then just multiply the answer with the dividend per share to arrive at $90000

190000-10000shares * $.50 =$90000

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

so correct option is C. 6.5

Explanation:

given data

natural rate of unemployment = 4%

economy producing = 95%

solution

we know here as  Okun's law for the every 1 percentage increase in unemployment rate

GDP of country =  2% lower than potential GDP

but here is country GDP = 5% lower than potential GDP

effective unemployment rate = 4% + 2.5%

effective unemployment rate = 6.5%
