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%

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is A: interest= $21048

Explanation:

An amortization schedule is a complete table of periodic loan payments, showing the amount of principal and the amount of interest that comprise each payment until the loan is paid off at the end of its term. While each periodic payment is the same amount early in the schedule, the majority of each payment is interest; later in the schedule, the majority of each payment covers the loan's principal.

Each payment is the same ($49,148), but the proportions of interest and capital pay changes. The interest proportion decreases from pay to pay.

Loan= 186000

i= 15%

n= 6 years

First pay:

i=186000*0,15=27900

amortization= 49148-27900=21248

Second pay:

i=(186000-21248)*0,15=24712

amort=49148-24712=24436

Third pay:

i=(164752-24436)*0,15=21048

amort=49148-21048=28100

While payments progress, interest decreases and amortization increases.

ipn [44]

Answer - A (7 years)


WORKINGS

To calculate how long it would take for the new refrigerator to pay for itself in lower utility costs, the cost of new refrigerator will be divided by lower utility cost per year

 

Cost of new refrigerator = $598

 

TO CALCULATE LOWER UTILITY COST PER YEAR

At a cost of only 12 cents per day

Annual cost will be 12 X 365 = 4380 Cents ($43.8)

 

Cost saved annually = Cost of old refrigerator – Cost of new refrigerator.

Lower utility cost per year = $132 – $43.8

Lower utility cost per year = $88.2

 

How long would it take for the new refrigerator to pay for itself in lower utility costs?

$598 ÷ $88.2

= 6.78 years

Approximately 7 years
