Answer:

6.64%

Explanation:

The pretax cost of debt is the Yield to Maturity (YTM). Since the coupons are paid semiannually, adjust the duration and the coupon payment amount to semi-annual terms.

You can solve for the YTM using a financial calculator with the following inputs;

Maturity of the bond; N = 20*2 = 40

Face value ; FV = 1000

Semi-annual coupon payment ; PMT = (7%/2)*1000 = 35

Current price of the bond; PV = -1.04*1000 = -1040

Then compute the semiannual interest rate ; CPT I/Y =  3.318%

Therefore, pretax cost of debt; YTM = 3.318 *2 = 6.64%

Delegating authority and responsibility throughout an organization is known as: Multiple Choice management by exception. central
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Decentralization

Explanation:

It is a process through which the authority of an organization is delegated to lower managers. The lower managers are given more responsibility which is the opposite of the centralization in which the decision making power is concentrated in the hands of a few people. The top-level managers take all the decisions in the organization with centralized authority.

In decentralized authority, lower managers can decide on their own as long as it is in sync with the overall goal of the organization, but the authority to take static decisions and control and coordination remain in the hands of top-level managers.
