Step-by-step explanation:
With the 15% coupon, you will get $1,875. (Because 15% of the bond's price $12,500 is $1,875.) Solution: 0.15 x 12500 = 1875
So $1,875 is to be divided by the actual price of the bond which is $10,750. (1, 875 ÷<span> 10,750 = 0.1744 convert this to percent to get the rate of return)
0.1744 = 17.44 %
The rate of return is 17.44%.</span>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The general exponential function is,

The points given in the table are,

Putting
in the general equation, we get


And


Putting the value of a,


Now the exponential function becomes,

Data set 1: 14,15,17,18,21
mean: (14+15+17+18+21)/5 = 85/5 = 17
mad
17-14 = 3
17-15 = 2
17-17 = 0
17-18 = 1
17-21 = 4
(3+2+0+1+4)/5 = 10/5 = 2
17/2 = 8.5 is the means-to-mad ratio
Data set2: 15,16,17,20,22
mean = (15+16+17+20+22)/5 = 90/5 = 18
mad
18 - 15 = 3
18 - 16 = 2
18 - 17 = 1
18 - 20 = 2
18 - 22 = 4
(3+2+1+2+4)/5 = 12/5 = 2.4
18/2.4 = 7.5 means to mad ratio
