<u>Explanation:</u>

People invest in bonds for various benefits in them and one of them is that the income is predictable. Also the interest paid is semi annually in federal bonds. The principal amount along with the interest amount can be earned when the bond matures. The risk of this investment is very low and there is no major price fluctuations.

Here the interest on investment is a steady income for the investors. Some of the bonds offers tax exemption benefits which can be state and local taxes for the citizens. Also these are issued by the government and there are no fraudulent activities involved.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Current yield is 10.3%

Explanation:

Coupon payment = 1000 x 7% = $70 annually

Number of periods = n = 20 years

Yield to maturity = 11% annually

Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows, to calculate Price of the bond use following formula

Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Price of the Bond = $70 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 11% )^-20 ) / 11% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 11% )^20 ]

Price of the Bond = $557.43 + $124.03 = $681.46

Current yield is the ration of coupon payment to the price of the bond.

Current Yield = Coupon Payment / Price of Bond = $70 / 681.46 = 0.1027 = 10.3%

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Journal Entry

Cash = $2100

Interest Revenue = 100

Notes Receivable = $2000

Explanation:

We need to find the interest revenue:

$2000 X 0.10 = $200

The time interval from February to August is 6 months. Therefore we have;

Interest Revenue = $200 X (6 months/12 months) = 100.

Sanger's record on August 1 2018, would be:
