Setrakian Industries needs to raise $96.2 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 6.04 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 30 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.85 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds

53,597   Bonds

Explanation:

The first is to determine how much each bond of $2,000 face value is sold using the excel pv function below:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the yield to maturity which is 6.85% divided by 2

nper is the number of semiannual coupons the bond would pay i.e 30*2

pmt is the amount of semiannual coupon i.e $2,000*6.04%*6/12=60.4

fv is the face value of $2,000 per bond

=-pv(6.85%/2,60,60.40,2000)= 1,794.86  

a bond is $ 1,794.86  

number of bonds=$96,200,000/$1,794.86= 53,597  

answer: life insurance

explanation:

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
