Answer:

A) 5.22 percent

Explanation:

The Pretax cost of debt is the Yield to maturity (YTM) of bond.

Using a financial calculator , you can solve for the YTM with the following inputs;

Face value ; FV = 1000

Maturity of bond; N = 15

Annual coupon payment; PMT = coupon rate * Face value =  6%*1000 = 60

Current price; PV = $1,080

then compute annual interest rate; CPT I/Y = 5.22%

frosja888 [35]

A pretexter is a person who calls your bank or other financial institution pretending to be you or someone else who is authorized on the account.

What is pretexting?

  • Pretexting is the act of creating and using an invented scenario (the pretext) to engage a targeted victim in a manner that increases the chance the victim will divulge information or perform actions that would be unlikely in ordinary circumstances.
  • An elaborate lie, it most often involves some prior research or setup and the use of this information for impersonation (e.g., date of birth, Social Security number, last bill amount) to establish legitimacy in the mind of the target.
  • As a background, pretexting can be interpreted as the first evolution of social engineering, and continued to develop as social engineering incorporated current-day technologies. Current and past examples of pretexting demonstrate this development.
  • This technique can be used to fool a business into disclosing customer information as well as by private investigators to obtain telephone records, utility records, banking records and other information directly from company service representatives.
  • The information can then be used to establish even greater legitimacy under tougher questioning with a manager, e.g., to make account changes, get specific balances, etc.
  • Pretexting can also be used to impersonate co-workers, police, bank, tax authorities, clergy, insurance investigators or any other individual who could have perceived authority or right-to-know in the mind of the targeted victim.
  • The pretexter must simply prepare answers to questions that might be asked by the victim. In some cases, all that is needed is a voice that sounds authoritative, an earnest tone, and an ability to think on one's feet to create a pretextual scenario.
