Answer:

less than 6%

Explanation:

when a bond trades at a premium, it means the bond's coupon rate was higher than the market rate, so investors are willing to pay more to purchase the bond, e.g. bond's face value is $1,000, if it is sold at a premium its market price will be higher than $1,000.

To determine the price of a bond sold at a premium or at a discount, you must determine the present value of the coupons paid plus the face value at maturity date. But if you are going to do this manually, for a bond that sells at a premium and its coupon rate is 6%, the actual bond yield will be lower than 6%.

Answer:

The correct answer is Lower than.

Explanation:

The yield at maturity (YTM) of a bond is the total return (which includes interest and capital gain) that it obtains upon expiration. It is expressed as a percentage and tells investors what the return will be if they acquire the bond and keep it until the issuer reimburses it. It is difficult to calculate the yield to maturity with precision, but you can approach its value if you use a profitability table or one of the many calculators that are available on the Internet for this purpose.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

B) $8,400

Explanation:

Absorption costing consider all the cost incurred in production either variable or fixed as production cost.

As we know variable cost vary with the change in the sale but the fixed costs remains constant whatever the level of sale is.

As per given data

Selling price = $6,600

Variable manufacturing cost = $3,600

Manufacturing Fixed Cost = $18,000

Total cost per unit = $3,600 + $18,000/20 = $4,500

Sales = Selling price x Numbers of units sold = $6,600 x 16 = $105,600

Cost of goods sold = Units sold x Cost per unit = 16 units x $4,500 = $72,000

Gross income = Sales - Cost of Goods sold = $105,600 - $72,000 = $33,600

Selling and Admin Cost = Variable cost + Fixed = (16 x $75) + $24,000 = $25,200

Net Income = Gross Income - Selling and Admin cost = $33,600 - $25,200 = $8,400
