Suppose that a 6.250% semi-annual coupon paying bond is priced at 105.500 per 100 of par value. The tenor of the bond is 13 years. What is the yield to maturity?

5.70%

Explanation:

In this question, we applied the RATE formula that is shown on the attachment below:

Provided that,  

Present value = $1,000 × 105% = $1,050

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 6.250% ÷ 2 = $31.25

NPER = 13 years × 2 = 26 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this, the yield to maturity is 5.70%

We assume the semi annual basis is followed so we half the interest rate and the coupon rate and doubles the time period

$527.7.if the following was the question  $527.7 is the answer.students who are trying to raise funds have an agreement with a local pizza chain. the chain has agreed to sell them pizzas at a discount, which the students can then resell to families in the local community for a profit. it is expected that of the 500 families in the community, at most 70% will buy pizza. based on a survey of their personal preferences, the students believe that they should order no more than 120 cheese pizzas, no more than 150 pepperoni pizzas, and no more than 100 vegetarian pizzas. they also want to make sure that at least 20% of the total pizzas are cheese and at least 50% of the pizzas are pepperoni. they make a profit of $1.45, $1.75, and $1.98, respectively, for each cheese, pepperoni, and vegetarian pizza they resell. how many pizzas of each type should they buy?
