Answer:

Most of the recalls were in the toy industry, which alarmed the public

Explanation:

2007 is known as the "year of the recall" because in that year a very high level of recalls were made by manufacturers but most importantly and alarmingly was the toy industry.

Every child, from being a baby to toddlers and preteens usually have one or more toys that they play with. 2007 seemed like the year to not get toys for kids as it became public knowledge that high amounts of lead was used in toy production that year.

Lead for all its usefulness is a poisonous  or dangerous substance to the human body talk more of a kid. The revelation of excessive lead content in toys caused a recall of toys by toy companies among other companies.

Also affected were art supplies, jewelries, etc.

Cheers

Anarel [89]

Answer:

6.5%

Explanation:

Number of people unemployed = 237,000

Labor force = 5 million - 1.3 million - 50,000

Wesimann Co. issued 12-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 7.2 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments and have a par
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.
