Answer:

7.32%

Explanation:

<em>The price of a bond is the present of its interest payment and the present value of redemption value (RV</em>

Present value of the Redemption Value (RV) =

FV× (1+r/2)^(-2×n)

FV- 2000, r- yield rate, r/2= 6.74%/2 = 3.37%, n-22

=2000× (1.0337)^(-2×22)

= 465.233

Present Value of the coupon payment =Price of bond - PV of RV

                          = (106.657% × 2000) - 465.233

                         =    $1667.90

PV of coupon payment= A × (1-(1+r)^(-2×n)

A- semiannual coupon payment, r -yield

   1667.90 = A × (1-(1.0337)^(-2*22))/0.0337

    1,667.90   = A × 22.7710

A = 1,667.90/22.7710

A= 73.246

Annual coupon payment = 2× 73.246=  146.493

Annual coupon rate = coupon payment/ face value

                                = (146.493/2,000 )× 100

                                = 7.32%

Answer:

Coupon rate is 7.32%

Explanation:

In calculating the coupon rate on the bond,we first of all need to determine the amount of interest payable by the bond on semi-annual basis using the pmt formula in excel:

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is the yield to maturity divided by 2 since it is a semi-annual interest paying bond i.e 6.74%/2

nper is the time to maturity of the bond multiplied by 2=22*2=44

the present value is the current price of the bond:$2000*106.657%=$2133.14

The fv is the face value of $2000

=pmt(6.74%/2,44,-2133.14 ,2000)

pmt= 73.25  

annual pmt= 73.25*2= 146.49  

coupon rate=pmt/face value= 146.49/2000

                                              =7.32%

S_A_V [24]

Answer: Alternative 3 will be selected.

Explanation:

The system that should be selected is the alternative that is better than the other alternatives by being higher than MARR if selected.

First compare A1 to A0

The rate of return here is 18% which is higher than the MARR of 15% so Alternative 1 should be chosen over A0 which is to do nothing.

Compare A1 to A2

If A2 is chosen over A1, the incremental return is 10% which is less than the MARR of 15% so A2 should not be chosen over A1. A1 should instead be chosen over A2.

Compare A1 to A3

If A3 is chosen over A1 then the incremental return would be 18%. This is higher than the MARR of 15% so Alternative 3 should be chosen over Alternative 1.

Alternative 3 should be chosen over A1 which should be chosen over A2 and A0.

A3 will therefore be selected.
