Answer:

current yield 8.2089552%

YTM = 8.05%

effective annual yield = 4.92%

Explanation:

(A)

current yield = C/P

coupon payment / market price

8.8/107.2 = 0.082089552 = 8.2089552%

(B)

P = \frac{C}{2} \times\frac{1-(1+YTM/2)^{-2t} }{YTM/2} + \frac{CP}{(1+YTM/2)^{2t}}

First par being the present value of the coupon payment and second the redeem of the face value at the end of the bond.

market price 107.2

face value 100

time = 19

rate 8.8%

C = annual coupon payment 100 x 8.8% = 8.8

You solve this using a financial calculation and get the semiannual rate

YTM/2 = 0.040268160

then multiply by 2 to get the annual YTM

0.040268160  x 2 =

YTM = 0.08053632 = 8.05%

(C)

Effective Annual Yield

(1+HPR)^{365/time} -1 = EAY

where:

Holding period return:

\frac{Net \: Return}{Investment} = HPR

In this case:

coupon payment + redem - investment = net return

8.8 * 19 + 100 - 107.2 = 160

160/107.2 = 1.492537313

Then

(1+HPR)^{365/time} -1 = EAY

(1+1.142537313)^{\frac{365}{19\times365}} -1 = EAY

EAY = 0.049242509 = 4.9242509%

Answer:

Beau's decision to tell somebody about his company's actions is an example of: whistle blowing

Explanation:

Ethics is the study of moral human behavior. Ethical behavior usually varies with different areas. What is considered ethical is always subject to the cultural standards of that particular place. In a company environment, there are ethical standards that are supposed to be met on the part of the company and also individuals working in the company.

One major ethical standard that companies must maintain is environmental protection. This is more prevalent in manufacturing companies that have to release toxic waste to the environment in the form of fumes to the atmosphere or liquid waste to rivers and water bodies. The environment is used by all living beings and therefor it needs to be protected. Ethical standards dictate that industrial waste should be kept below toxic levels before being released into the environment.

It is also ethical for any individual working in a company and has information about unethical practices of a company to publicly expose the company so that they can be held accountable for their actions. This is referred to as whistle blowing. Beau's decision to inform a newspaper reporter about the actions of the company in destroying the environment is an example of whistle blowing. Her decision is a typical example of ethical behavior.

This is an example of mass selling through publicity.
The show may not have been that much popular before Tom Bowman wanted it gone, however, after he asked for its removal from the air, people were interested to see why that is so, which is why it gained many new followers instead of losing its old ones.
