E. kickbacks
From the question, we are informed about a statement ""I'll let you sell the Harley-Davidson designer clothes only if you'll also sell a new line of clothes designed by Paula Abdul, too."
This statement made by a salesperson to a specialty retailer is potentially an example of tie- sales and may be in violation of the Clayton Act prohibition if the action substantially lessens competition.
It should be noted that tie - in sales in finance means that when a cusumer buys a goods he/she must buy the other product, it simply means the products are tied, and this is opposite of Clayton Act which was set up to bring end to transactions that can lead to monopolies.
Answer:
a. 4.89%
b. 5.23%
Explanation:
We use the rate formula which is shown in the attached spreadsheet
Given that,
Present value = $2,000 × 108.96% = $2,179.20
Future value or Face value = $2,000
PMT = $2,000 × 5.7% ÷ 2 = $57
NPER = 16 years × 2 = 32 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
a. The yield to maturity of the bond is 4.89%
b. The current yield would be
= 57 × 2 ÷ $2,179.20
= 5.23%
