Yield is given by:
current yield=(annual cash flow)/(market price)
annual cashflow(coupon)= 2.9/100×4750=137.75
market price of the bond= $3940
thus the yield will be given by:
137.75/3940
=0.03496

Answer:

Her yield was 0.035 or 3.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachael purchased a five year bond = $4,750

Market value = $3,940

To calculate the bond yield, divide its coupon payment by the market value of the bond.

Coupon value = 2.9% of 4,750

= 0.029 × 4,750 = $137.75

Yield = Coupon (annual cashflow) / market value of the bond

137.75 ÷ 3,940 = 0.0346 rounded to 0.035

Her yield was 0.035 or 3.5%

A projector was sold after allowing 10% discount on the marked price and levying 13% VAT .If the selling price of the projector

Tom [10]

The marked price of the projector is $50,000.

<h3>What is the marked price?</h3>

The price of the projector after the discount can be represented with:

(100 - 10%)x - 90%x = 0.90x

Where x is the marked price

The price of the projector after the VAT is : (1.13) x 0.90x = 1.02x

Difference in price = 1.02x - 0.90x = 5850

0.12x = 5850

x = 5850 / 0.12

x = $50,000

Joshua uses a rule to write the following sequence of numbers 1/6,1/2,5/6,----------,11/2 What rule did Joshua use? What is the

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: The missing number in the sequence is $\frac{7}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$\frac{1}{6},\frac{1}{2},\frac{5}{6},----------,\frac{11}{2}$

First term = a= $\frac{1}{6}$

Common difference = d is given by

$d=a_2-a_1\\\\\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}\\\\=\frac{6-2}{12}\\\\=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}\\\\Similarly,\\d=a_3-a_2\\\\=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{2}\\\\=\frac{10-6}{12}\\\\=\frac{4}{12}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}$
