Answer:

Explanation:

Using YTM formula :

YTM = [PMT + {(FV-P) / n}] / [(FV+P)/2]

YTM = Yield to maturity = 14% = 0.14

PMT= Annual interest amount

FV = Face Value = $1000

P = Price =$1158.91

n = years to maturity = 10

0.14 = [PMT + {(1000 -1158.91) / 10}] / [(1000 +1158.91)/2]

0.14 = (PMT - 15.891) / 1079.455

PMT- 15.891 = 1079.455 * 0.14

PMT - 15.891 = 151.1237

PMT = 151.1237 -15.891

PMT = 135.23

So, Annual interest = $135.23

Annual interest rate = Annual interest / Face Value

= 135.23 / 1000

= 0.1352

=13.52%

Hence Annual Interest rate on the bond is 13.52%

yuradex [85]

Although Costco pays its employees substantially more than its closest competitor, Sam’s Club, it has similar financial returns on its labor costs due to lower turnover and higher levels of productivity

Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

While Costco costs its workers slightly more than its closest competitor, Sam's Club, Costco pays higher prices in order to recruit more professionals and to provide better customer service due to lower turnover and a similar financial return.

Direct costs involve wages for staff making a product and employees on the production line, while indirect costs apply to assistance, such as employees repairing factory equipment.

When labor costs are wrongly distributed or measured, the price of goods or services may be changed from their actual costs and profits from losses.
