$4.74 per share 
Why do you think Target has chosen to have its fiscal year end on January 30, as opposed to December 31?
I guess that Christmas Holiday season is very important for them and a large percentage of their revenue is generated during November and December. It reports at the end of January to have time to consolidate its financial statements.

Answer:
When using a financial calculator to compute the issue price of the bonds, the applicable periodic interest rate ("I") is 3.923%
Explanation:
Hi, first, the discount interest rate that you have to choose is 8%, because 9% is the coupon rate (which in our case would be 9%/2=4.5% and this is used only to find the amount to be paid semi-annually).
Now we know we have to choose 8%, but this is an effective rate (I know this is an effective rate because no units were mentioned), and by definition it is a periodic rate, but it is not the rate that we need since the payments are going to be made in a semi-annual way, therefore we need to use the following equation.
![r(semi-annual)=[1+r(annual)]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%28semi-annual%29%3D%5B1%2Br%28annual%29%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%7D%20-1)
So, everything should look like this.
![r(semi-annual)=[1+0.08]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.03923](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%28semi-annual%29%3D%5B1%2B0.08%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%7D%20-1%3D0.03923)
Therefore, the periodic interest that yuo have to use to calculate the price of the bond is 3.923%
Best of luck.

Answer: I found the complete question on Google:
 By 2017, McDonald's had stopped selling Chicken McNuggets and other products made from chickens fed antibiotics. The change increased McDonald's costs, but an article in the Wall Street Journal noted that "...McDonald's ability to raise its prices is limited because of stiff competition."Source: David Kesmodel, Jacob Bunge, and Annie Gasparro, "McDonald's to Curb Antibiotics in Chicken," Wall Street Journal, March 4, 2015. Does this "stiff competition" mean that the demand curve for McDonald's Chicken McNuggets is horizontal? Briefly explain.
And the correct answer is: "B. No, the demand curve is not horizontal because Chicken McNuggets are not identical to other chicken products.".
