Answer:

5.4

Explanation:

To find the median, we need to arrange the numbers in numerical order.

Hence, here we have 3, 4, 5, 7, 11.

Given that the question says we should look for numbers that would be included in the following data so that the median is 5.2. Hence, we need to add the number to the set.

Therefore the total number of the set will be 6 making it an even number. Hence we have to add the two numbers in the middle and divide them by 2.

Since the median is 5.2, hence we multiply it by 2 = 10.4

Therefore, we less 5 from 10.4, we have 5.4

To check we now have a set of numbers 3, 4, 5, 5.4, 7, 11

Where 5 + 5.4 = 10.4, then divided by 2 = 5.2 as median.

Smiley Industrial Goods has $1,000 face value bonds on the market with semiannual interest payments, 13.5 years to maturity, and

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Annual Coupon rate = 66.56990711 / 1000 = 0.06656990711 or 6.656990711% rounded off to 6.66%

Option B is the correct answer

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) = 13.5 * 2 = 27

r or YTM = 0.064 * 6/12 = 0.032 or 3.2%

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.

1023 = C * [( 1 - (1+0.032)^-27) / 0.032] + 1000 / (1+0.032)^27

1023 = C * 17.8994796 + 427.2166529

1023 - 427.2166529 = C * 17.8994796

595.7833471 / 17.8994796 = C

C = 33.28495355 rounded off to 33.28

The annual coupon payment will be = 33.28495355 * 2 = 66.56990711 rounded off to 66.57

Annual Coupon rate = 66.56990711 / 1000 = 0.06656990711 or 6.656990711% rounded off to 6.66%
