strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$1,138.92

Explanation:

Current bond price can be calculated present value (PV) of cash flows formula below:

Current price or PV of bond = C{[1 - (1 + i)^-n] ÷ i} + {M × (1 + i)^-n} ...... (1)

Where:

Face value = $1,000

r = coupon rate = 7.2% annually = (7.2% ÷ 2) semiannually = 3.6% semiannually

C = Amount of semiannual interest payment = Face value × r

C = $1,000 × 3.6% = $36

n = number of payment periods remaining = (12 - 1) × 2 = 22

i = YTM = 5.5% annually = (5.5% ÷ 2) semiannually = 2.75% semiannually  = 0.0275 semiannually

M = value at maturity = face value = $1,000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV of bond = 36{[1 - (1 + 0.0275)^-22] ÷ 0.0275} + {1,000 × (1 + 0.0275)^-22}

PV of bond = $1,138.92.

Therefore, the current bond price is $1,138.92.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": Perceptual defense.

Explanation:

In psychology, perceptual defense refers to the suppression of a stimulus that represents a threat or an uncomfortable situation for an individual. Those inputs are distorted somehow by the individual to reject the unpleasant feeling so that the person does not feel that bad because of it. In such a way, the brain works as a defense mechanism able to distort information to mitigate the effects in the behavior produced by the stimulus.
