Solution:

Annual coupon payment of the bond is $80

At the beginning of the year, remaining maturity period is 2 years.

Price of the bond is equal to face value, i.e. the initial price of the bond is $1000.

New price of the bond = present value of the final coupon payment + present value of the maturity amount.

New price of the bond = $\frac{80}{1+r} +\frac{1000}{1+r}$

where, r is the yield to maturity at the end of the year.

Substitute 0.06 for r in the above equation,

Therefore new price of the bond is  = $\frac{80}{1+0.06} +\frac{1000}{1+0.06}$

                                                           = $\frac{1080}{1.06}$

                                                           = $ 1010.87

Calculating the rate of return of the bond as

$\text{rate of return}=\frac{\text{coupon+new price-old price}}{\text{initial price}}$

                     $=\frac{80+1018.87-1000}{1000}$

                     = 0.09887

Therefore, the rate of return on the bond is 9.887%

                                                                    ≈ 10 %

Why must we always boil our drinking water during and after a cyclone has passed ​
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Sometimes following a disaster, a boil water alert is issued for areas connected to mains scheme water because the mains water may be unsafe to drink or cook with.

If a boil water alert has been issued, it is essential you follow this warning to prevent illness.

To prepare water for drinking and food preparation, you should heat the water to a rolling boil for at least 1 minute using a stove or kettle and then allow it to cool. This will help to kill any bacteria.

Be sure to keep children clear from any boiling water until the water has cooled down to room temperature.

Once it has cooled it should be placed in the fridge in a clean container with a lid.

Under no circumstances should you drink or cook with water that has not been boiled until the alert is lifted.

Alternatively you can use bottled water.

HOPE THIS HELPS !

masya89 [10]

Answer:

80 years

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Simple interest rate charged = 1.25% = 0.0125

Now,

Let principal amount be '$x'

we know,  Simple interest = Principal × Interest Rate × Time

Since the debt is doubled this means the interest  is equal to the principal amount

Therefore,

$x = $x × 0.0125 × Time

or

1 = 0.0125 × Time

or

Time = 1 ÷ 0.0125

or

Time = 80 years

Firstly, ownership of the asset is transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term.  The second condition is that the lessee can purchase the asset below its fair value.
