A 13-year, 6 percent coupon bond pays interest semiannually. The bond has a face value of $1,000. What is the percentage change
1 answer:
Answer: -10.14%
Explanation:
Original Price of bond:
Interest is paid semiannually so some variables need to be adjusted:
Period = 13 * 2= 26 semi annual periods
Coupon = 6% * 1,000 * 0.5 = $30 per period
Yield = 5.5% / 2 = 2.75%
Price = $1,046
Price after yield increases to 6.7%
Period = 13 * 2= 26 semi annual periods
Coupon = 6% * 1,000 * 0.5 = $30 per period
Yield = 6.7% / 2 = 3.35%
Price = $939.88
Percentage change = (939.88 - 1,046) / 1,046
= -10.14%

Answer:
b. 18,602 units.
Explanation:
First, we need to use last year's information to determine last year's fixed costs.
Price (P1) = $7.68
Variable costs (VC1) = $2.25
Units sold to break-even (n1) = 21,800
At the break-even point, net income is zero and the fixed cost can be found by:
With information from last, information for the current year can be determined:
Price (P2) = $10.00
Variable costs (VC2) = $2.25 x 1.3333 = $3.00
Fixed cost (FC2) = $118,374 x 1.10 = $130,211.4
The number of units required to break even is:
Rounding up to the nearest whole unit, Dorcan Corporation must sell 18,602 units to break-even.
