RAK Co. wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 5.7 percent coupon b
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

5.31%

Explanation:

FV = 1000

Coupon rate = 5.7%

No of compound = 2

Interest per period = $28.5

Bond price = $1048

No of years to maturity = 20

No of compounding till maturity = 40

Coupon rate set on new bonds = Rate(Nper, PMT, -PV, FV) * 2

Coupon rate set on new bonds = Rate(40, 28.5, -1048, 1000) * 2

Coupon rate set on new bonds = 0.02655 * 2

Coupon rate set on new bonds = 0.0531

Coupon rate set on new bonds = 5.31%

Afina-wow [57]

Similar to a stock split, a stock <u>dividend</u> also distributes additional shares of stock to existing stockholders on a pro rata basis at no cost to the stockholders.

A stock split is a decision made by the board of directors of a firm to issue more shares to present owners in order to increase the number of shares outstanding.

A stock split is a division of issued shares in a ratio determined by the company, whereas a stock dividend is a dividend paid in the form of extra shares. While in a stock split, already issued shares are divided in accordance with a predetermined ratio, a stock dividend gives stockholders extra shares.
