Answer:

7.43%

Explanation:

Where the debt is publicly traded , the cost of debt is equal to the yield to maturity

Approximate yield to maturity = [coupon +(face value - market price )/ number of years to maturity ]/ [{face value + market price]/2]*100

Face value - 2000

Market price - 1905

years to maturity= 30 years

Coupon =( 6.9%*2000)/ 2 = 69

Workings

[69 + (2000-1905)/30] / [(2000+1905]/2 *100)

([69+3.17]/[(3905]/2*100)

(72.17/1952) * 100 = 3.70

Annual yield = 3.7*2= 7.4%

7.4 % being an approximate yield value , the closest option is 7.43%

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

b. $20.

Explanation:

Regardless of what the break-even volume is, at this volume profits are zero.

This means that any unit sold beyond this point will provide a profit equivalent to its marginal benefit, which is its selling price subtracted by its variable cost.

If a product sells for $50 and has a variable cost of $30, by selling one unit in excess of its break-even volume, the profit will be:

P= \$50-\$30 =\$20

The profit will be $20.
