Answer:

The bond's yield to maturity is 9.45% using Excel to get exact values, and 9.59% using approximate method.

Explanation:

We can calculate is using 2 ways, using Excel to get the exact percentage or with approximate methods, calculating the semi-annual Yield to Maturity using the following formula

YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}

And from there we can calculate the Yield to Maturity just by multiplying the semi-annual one by 2.

Identifying the given information.

We have a period of 30 years, so for the semiannual bond we have n=2(30) = 60 periods.

The face value, FV, is $1000, the coupon rate is 0.10, thus we can use them to  find the interest per period PMT.

PMT=0.10 \times \cfrac{1000}{2}\\PMT=\$ 50

The current price of the bond, PV is $1050.

Replacing the values on the semiannual Yield to Maturity

YTM_{sm} =\cfrac{PMT+\cfrac{FV-PV}n}{\cfrac{FV+PV}2}

YTM_{sm}=\cfrac{50+\cfrac{1000-1050}{60}}{\cfrac{1000+1050}{2}}

Simplifying we get

YTM_{sm}=4.797\%\\

Finding the Yield to Maturity.

We can just multiply by 2 to get the Yield to Maturity from our previous result and rounding it to 2 decimals we get

YTM = 2 YTM_{sm}\\YTM=9.59\%

Alternatively we can use Excel and write:

RATE(n, PMT, PV, FV)*2

That is

RATE(60,50,1050,1000)*2

And we will get the exact Yield to maturity 9.49%

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The correct answers are the following options: A regional sales manager's salary is a direct cost of the regional office in which the sales manager works - A direct cost can be easily and conveniently traced to a specific cost object.

Explanation:

On the one hand, the name of <em>"direct costs"</em> is refered to the ones that would be directly related to a cost object, therefore that these costs are easily recognizable to the person who manages the costs due to the fact that those will be the ones that are strictly referable to the object.

On the other hand, the <em>"indirect costs"</em> are the ones that have the characteristics of being the oppositive of the direct costs. Therefore that these type of costs are the ones that would not be easily referable to a cost object.
