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%

All of the following statements about agriculture in market economic systems are true EXCEPT
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

B, In response to low crop prices and overproduction, it is being replaced by intensive subsistence farming.

Explanation:

A market economic system is one in which laws of demand and supply determine the production of goods and services. Agriculture in market economic systems is not being replaced by subsistence farming because subsistence farming is low scale farming that meets the needs of a family and as such is not affected by any laws of demand and supply as in commercial farming.

Cheers.

The aggregate supply curve normally a. slopes downward and to the right due to higher resource prices. b. has a horizontal slope
8090 [49]

Answer:

The answer is: D) slopes upward to the right due to short-run fixed costs of production.

Explanation:

In the short run, companies have fixed factors of production: prices, wages, and capital. In the short run, aggregate supply curve shows the correlation between the price level and output (normal supply curve). Only in case of a production increase due to technological improvements or other factors (decreasing input prices, etc), may the aggregate supply curve shift outward.
