Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Annual Coupon rate = 66.56990711 / 1000 = 0.06656990711 or 6.656990711% rounded off to 6.66%

Option B is the correct answer

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = C

Total periods (n) = 13.5 * 2 = 27

r or YTM = 0.064 * 6/12 = 0.032 or 3.2%

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

We will first calculate the value of semi coupon payment made by the bond.

1023 = C * [( 1 - (1+0.032)^-27) / 0.032] + 1000 / (1+0.032)^27

1023 = C * 17.8994796 + 427.2166529

1023 - 427.2166529 = C * 17.8994796

595.7833471 / 17.8994796 = C

C = 33.28495355 rounded off to 33.28

The annual coupon payment will be = 33.28495355 * 2 = 66.56990711 rounded off to 66.57

Annual Coupon rate = 66.56990711 / 1000 = 0.06656990711 or 6.656990711% rounded off to 6.66%

juin [17]

Answer:

profit margin is 16.0 %

gross profit rate is 39.6 %

Explanation:

given data

net sales = $248,700

cost of goods sold = $146,900

operating expenses = $58,000

net income = $39,900

beginning total assets = $473,900

ending total assets of $635,400

to find out

profit margin and gross profit rate

solution

we will apply here profit margin formula that is

profit margin = $\frac{net income}{sale} * 100$ ..............1

put here value

profit margin = $\frac{39900}{248700} * 100$

profit margin = 16.04 = 16.0 %

and

gross profit rate formula is

gross profit rate = $\frac{sales - cost of good }{sale} * 100$ ..............2

put here value

gross profit rate = $\frac{245700 - 146900}{248700} * 100$

gross profit rate is 39.72 = 39.6 %
