Answer:

Annual Coupon rate = 0.040005 or 4.0005% rounded off to 4.00%

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = C

Total periods (n) = 12 * 2 = 24

r or YTM = 0.0537 * 6/12 = 0.02685 or 2.685%%

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

We will first calculate the value of semi coupon payment  made by the bond.

880 = C * [( 1 - (1+0.02685)^-24) / 0.02685]  + 1000 / (1+0.02685)^24

880 = C * 17.52482779  +  529.4583737

880 -  529.4583737  =  C * 17.52482779

350.5416263 / 17.52482779 = C

C = 20.0025718 rounded off to 20.00

 

The annual coupon payment will be = 20.0025718  * 2 = 40.00514361 rounded off to 40.01

Annual Coupon rate = 40.00514361  / 1000 = 0.040005 or 4.0005% rounded off to 4.00%

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

1. Gross profit ratio= Gross Profit/ Sales *100    

-Sales $ 20510,000      

-Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold  =20,510,000 - 12,550,000 = 7,960,000  

Gross Profit Ratio= 7,960,000 / 20,510,000 * 100

= 38.81%

2.Return on Assets= Net income after tax / Average Total assets  

Where Average Total assets= (9,800,000+8,160,000) / 2= 8,980,000

Where Net income after tax= 1,940,000

Return on Assets = 1,940,000 / 8,980,000 * 100 = 21.60%

3.Profit Margin= Net income/ Sales *100    

=1,940,000 /20,510,000 *100

= 9.46%    

4. Total Assets turnover= Sales / Average assets    

=20,510,000 / 8,980,000

=2.28 times  

5 Return on Equity: Net income after tax/ Average stockholder's equity  

Where Average Stockholder's equity: (2,050,000 +3,190,000 + 1990000 + 1766000) / 2 = $4498,000

Return on Equity: 1940000/4498,000 *100

= 43.13%
