Answer:

The answer is 4.232%

Explanation:

The formula for determining the price of a bond which can also be used to find Yield-to-Maturity(YTM) is:

PV = PMT/(1+r)^1 + PMT/(1+r)^2 .......PMT/(1+r)^1 PMT + FV/(1+r)^n

We are to calculate Yield-to-Maturity(YTM) which is the rate of return on the bond to an investor.

Using a Financial calculator. Input the following:

N = (18 years - 2years) x 2 = 32

1/Y = ?

PV = 109

PMT = 9.5/2 = 4.75

FV = 100

1/Y = 4.232%

What the single greatest factor in safety and health programs’ failure to completely keep us free of workplace accidents is, why
Lady_Fox [76]
The answer to this is probably something like the human factor or a human error. That is because no matter how great the conditions are, you can't prevent people from making a mistake eventually and this can include even simple things like falling down stairs. What you can do is make sure you get good employees, but even those banal injuries still count as a workplace accident and the worker needs to be paid and covered to mend it.
