Answer:
D) 4.95 percent
Explanation:
The current yield formula can be used to determine the coupon payment which would thereafter be used to compute coupon rate as required:
current yield=coupon payment/current market price
current yield=4.87%
coupon payment=unknown
current market price=101.6533%*$10,000
current market price=$10,165.33
4.87%=coupon payment/$10,165.33
coupon payment=$10,165.33 *4.87%
coupon payment=$495.051571
coupon rate=coupon payment/face value
coupon rate=$495.051571
/$10,000
coupon rate=4.95%

Answer:
Nico invest $2500 at 9% interest rate and $800 at 4% interest rate.
Explanation:
He invests some money at 9%, and $1700 less than that amount at 4 %.
Let Nico invest $x at 9%.
It means he invest $( x-1700) at 4%.
The investments produced a total of $257 interest in 1 yr.




Add 68 on both sides.


Divide both sides by 0.13.

Nico invest $2500 at 9% interest rate.

Nico invest $800 at 4% interest rate.
Therefore Nico invest $2500 at 9% interest rate and $800 at 4% interest rate.
