Coca-Cola acquired its bottlers and created a national vertically integrated business operation in 2010. After spending 12.3 billion USD to acquire Coca-Cola Enterprises, its largest bottling partner, it reversed course in 2015 and sold off all its bottling operations.

Nata [24]

Answer:

12.38% decrease

Given the following parameters

6%

Number of years = 12

Hence, 12.38% decrease is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the market yield rises to 6% from the current yield of 4.5%,
