Answer:
The coupon rate is the stated periodic interest payment due to the bondholder at specified times. The bond's yield is the anticipated overall rate of return. If the bond's price changes and is no longer offered at par value, the coupon rate and the yield will no longer be the same as the coupon rate is fixed and yield is a derivative calculation based on the price of the bond.
Answer:
9.85%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Initial Offer price = $23.45
Current NAV = $22.28
Dividends and capital gains distributions over the year = $1.09 per share
Now,
Holding period return
= [Current NAV + Dividends and capital gains distributions - Initial Offer price ] ÷ Initial Offer price
= [ $24.67 + $1.09 - $23.45 ] ÷ $23.45
= $2.31 ÷ $23.45
= 0.0985
or
= 0.0985 × 100%
= 9.85%
Answer:
The discount rates were lowered
Explanation:
Discount rate is the rate that is used to determine the present value of future cash flows that will be spent in a project.
This is different from the cost of capital which is the amount that just meets the incurred cost of executing a project.
Discount rate determines of the benefits of the project are greater than the cost.
In the given scenario where benefits balance the cost, the project will be worthwhile is discount rate is lower.
That is there will be a lower cost of execution of the project so revenue will be higher than the cost
Answer:
False
Explanation:
To determine the six month interest payment on a bond, you must multiply the face value of the bond times half the annual contract rate of the bond. The contract rate of the bond is the interest rate used to calculate the bond's coupon.
The market rate of the bond may or may not be equal to the contract rate. If the bond was sold at a premium, the market rate is lower than the contract rate. If the bond is sold at a discount, the market rate will be higher than the contract rate.
Answer:
Alternation ranking method.
Explanation:
Tony, a production manager at Brighton Biometrics, needs to measure the performance of 10 subordinates. He writes their names on a paper and circles Paula's name as the best-performing employee of the group. He then circles Erma's name as the worst employee of the group. He rates the remaining employees as second best, second worst, and so on. In the context of methods of performance measurement, Tony is using the alternation ranking method.
This method basically ranks employees from the very best to the worst based on a particular trait. Choosing the highest down to the lowest until every one of them are ranked.
