Consider a bond that costs $1,000 and pays an $80 interest payment each year.

a. what is the yield (interest rate) for this bond

The interest rate for this bond is 8% per annum.

Explanation:

Given that,

a bond that costs $1,000 and pays an $80 interest each year.

To find the rate of interest, we use the following formula is

I=Prt

Here P = principal= $1,000

I=interest= $80

t=time= 1 year

∴80 = 1000×r×1

⇒r = 0.080

⇒r= 8%

The yield for this bond is 8% per annum.

b. a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and make sense, and are all related to a single topic . almost every piece of writing you do that is longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. this is because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and end, and thus the reader see the organization of the essay into subjects in order to be able to understand its main points.
