The bond's yield to maturity is 17.96%.

In this question, we need to find the discount rate that equates the periodic interest payment from the bond and the final amount received at maturity upon redemption of the bond.

We can approach this question by assuming two different yield rates and interpolating to arrive at the exact yield to maturity.

Since the current market price of the bond is less than its face value, and given the inverse relationship between bond prices and it's yield, we can conclude that the current yields are above the 14% coupon rate. (When yields and coupon rate are equal, the current market price of the bond and its face value are equal).

We use the bond formula to arrive at the interpolated values:

Bond Price = (C/(1+i)) + (C/(1+i)²) + (C/(1+i)^n) + (MV/(1+i)^n)

where,

C= Coupon Values

i = yield to maturity

MV = Maturity Value.

Substituting values from the question in the above equation, we get,

Bond Price = (210/(1+i)) + (210/(1+i)²) + (210/(1+i)^10) + (1500/(1+i)^10)

We can find the bond price by using 17% in the place of 'i'. When we substitute like this, we get a price of $1290.36.

When we use 18% in the place 'i' in the equation above, we get, 1230.35.

Using these values we can interpolate the yield to maturity as follows:

17 + (1232.56 - 1290.36)/(1290.36-1230.35)

= 17 + (-57.80)/(-60.01)

= 17+ 0.963252

=17.96%

Answer from: Quest

the correct answer would be b, when, queen, calder hall and london.

explanation:

we always capitalize words when a paragraph or sentence is starting, when an important name is used, when a place is being written, or simply when a noun is used, etc. so in this sentence, sentence is starting from 'when', so it will be written in capital letters. secondly, queen is considered to be an important person, so it will also be written in capital letter. next, the name of the town is mentioned, i-e calder hall, which will also be written in capital letters. in the last, city name is being used, 'london', which will also be written in capital letters. so option b is the most appropriate one.

Which of the following is likely not a benefit of requiring a grand jury to listen to and examine all of the evidence against a person suspected of committing a serious crime and then independently deciding whether or not to hand down an indictment? 1.the grand jury system provides the accused another safeguard against being sent to trial and facing conviction based on flawed evidence. 2.the members of the grand jury are drawn from the community and are empowered to render independent decisions about whether or not the government has collected enough evidence to bring an individual to trial. 3.the grand jury’s decision can provide prosecutors insight into what is necessary to build a sufficient case if a similar crime is presented later. 4.the grand jury is impaneled to rubber-stamp prosecutors’ cases, which makes it possible for more cases to reach trial.
