You have the following information regarding a bond that pays semi-annual coupon payments: Time to maturity is 12 years Coupon R
IrinaK [193]

Answer: 2%

Explanation:

As the coupon payments are semi-annual, you need to convert the other measures to semi-annual measures as well.

Coupon rate = 6%/2 = 3% per semi annum

Coupon payment = 3% * 1,000 which is par value = $30

Time to maturity = 12 * 2 = 24 semi annual periods

Price is still the same = $1,189.14

You can use an Excel worksheet to solve for the Yield:

Number of periods = 24

Payment = $30

PV = 1,189.14

FV is par value of $1,000

Periodic rate is 0.019999

= 2%

So the company must payback the money as the contract is not enforceable in the jurisdiction.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The reason the government is often more responsive to producer interests than to consumer interests when it comes to the imposition of tariffs and quotas is:

it wants to ensure that producers are protected from foreign competition.

Explanation:

Producers face foreign competitive threats.  Consumers do not face such competition.  Therefore, the government will often consider the producers' interests more than the consumers' interests when imposing trade tariffs and quotas.  If local industries are not protected from their foreign competitors, the unemployment rate will increase and the economy will be flooded with cheap and low quality goods from other countries.  In that way, the US will be subsidizing the foreign producers indirectly.
