Answer:

Bond Price = $580.2640476 rounded off to $580.26

Explanation:

A zero coupon bond is a kind of bond that does not pay interest to the bond holder like other bonds. Instead it is offered at a discount price and pays the par value at maturity. The discount price is calculated using a certain rate which can also be called the implied interest rate on this zero coupon bond. The formula to calculate the price of the zero coupon bond is,

Bond Price = Par Value / (1 + r)^t

Where,

  • r is the interest rate or the discount rate
  • t is the number of periods to maturity

Bond Price = 1000 / (1+0.115)^5

Bond Price = $580.2640476 rounded off to $580.26

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: Yes

This was not established, however, Dozier will benefit from Paschall’s work unduly if he does not pay for the improvements. The law holds that he has to pay for Paschall’s work to prevent being unjustly enriched.

serg [7]

Answer: All of the above

Explanation:

A company should endeavour to be socially responsible if it will result in any of the listed circumstances as they are all benefits.

If this would increase the company's competitive advantage it should be embarked on as it would lead to the company having a better position in the market. It can also reduce the cost to the company of reputation damaging incidents.

A company having improved efficiency and workforce retention is a good company and if socially responsible actions will bring that, the company should do it. And with the purpose of a company being to maximise shareholder value, a company should definitely engage in socially responsible actions if there is a high correlation between CSR and stock price.
