Answer: 8%

Explanation:

The Annual Percentage Rate or APR for short is calculated by dividing the finance cost by the total amount borrowed in the following manner,

APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed.

To calculate the Finance charge we add the interest and the service charge.

Finance charge = 25 + 15

= $40

Back to the APR formula we will have,

APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed

APR = 40/500

= 0.08

APR is 8%.

You bought one of Great White Shark Repellant Co.’s 5.8 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $1,030. These bonds make annual pa
defon

Answer:

total rate of return on the Bond = 9.40%

Explanation:

given data

coupon bonds  = 5.8%

bonds price =  $1,030

maturity time = 14 year

required return on the bonds = 5.1 percent

solution

we know here market price of the bond is Present Value of Coupon Payments + Present face Value  

so that face Valueof  bond = $1,000

and here annual Coupon Amount will be

annual coupon amount = $1000 × 5.80%

annual coupon amount = $58

and here Market Price of the Bond will be

Market Price of Bond = Present Value of Coupon Payments + Present face Value    ......................1

here Present Value of Coupon Payments  at PVIFA 5.10% and 14 Years

Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor (PVIFA) =  \frac{1-(1/(1+r)^t}{r}  ....2

Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor =  \frac{1-(1/(1+0.0510)^14}{0.0510}

Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor = 9.83566

and

Present Value Inflow Factor (PVIF) 5.10%, 14 Years= \frac{1}{(1+r)^t}   ...........3

Present Value Inflow Factor (PVIF) = \frac{1}{(1+0.0510)^14}

Present Value Inflow Factor = 0.49838

so

Market Price of Bond = ( $58 × 9.83566 ) + ( $1,000 × 0.49838 )

Market Price of Bond = $1,068.85

so total rate of return on the Bond will be

total rate of return on the Bond = [ { Annual Coupon Amount + ( Change in Bond Price ) } ÷ Current Price]  ...............4

total rate of return on the Bond = \frac{58+(1068.85-1030)}{1030}

total rate of return on the Bond = 9.40%
