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%

If bonds are issued at 101.25, this means that ____________________
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

c.a $1,000 bond sold for $1,012.50.

Explanation:

We assume the par value is $1,000 and since the bond is issued at 101.25 that means its selling price is

= $1,000 × 101.25%

= $1,012.50

Since the bond is issued more than the face value that reflects the premium and if the bond is issued less than the face value so it is issued at a discount

So the right option is c.

ioda

Answer:

B.Cash received from issuing common stock to stockholders is reported as a financing activity cash flow within the statement of cash flows.

Explanation:

As when common stock is issued, it provides cash to the company, for any kind of investments, or expense to be made, for running the business.

Financing activities are those which arrange monetary assets generally cash for the company, issue of securities, issue of bonds, borrowings as loans or note payable.

Thus, the statement B is correct.

Further dividends are provided after tax, and are distribution from net income, but not shown under that.

Providing services on account will provide revenue and net income will increase.

Purchasing of any equipment is investing as it will create an asset for the company.
