Answer:

7.44 %

PV = - $100

N = (15 -2) × 2 = 26

PMT = ($100 ×  7.30%) ÷ 2 = $3.65

FV = $103

P/YR = 2

YTM = ?

Therefore, Inputting the values in the calculator as shown gives the Yield to Maturity is 7.44 %.

New steel products has total assets of $820,470, a total asset turnover rate of 1. 39, a debt-equity ratio of 2. 8, and a return
nadya68 [22]

The firm's net income is $114,045,330.

Total Asset Turnover = Sales / Assets

or, 1.39 = Sales / $820,470

Sales = $820,470 × 1.39 = $1,140,453.3

Now,

Equity Multiplier

= Assets / Equity

= (Debt + Equity) / Equity

= (2.8 + 1) / 1

= 3.8

(Debt equity ratio has been used here)

As per Dupont Analysis,

ROE = Profit margin x Asset Turnover x Equity Multiplier

or, 0.34% = Profit Margin x 1.39 x 3.8

Profit Margin = 5.282%

Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales x 100

5.282% = Net Income / $1,140,453.3 x 100

Thus, Net Income = $114,045,330

Net income is an amount which an individual or business makes after deducting costs, taxes, and allowances. Thus, net income is what the business has left over after all its expenses.
