A 4.8% coupon bond with 9 years remaining until maturity is currently trading at $1087.43. Assume semi-annual coupon payments. The bond's YTM is %. Round your *final* answer to 2 decimal places (example: 12.34). Hint: be sure your inputs reflect the semiannual payment frequency.

3.66%

Explanation:

The yield to maturity can be computed using Excel rate function below:

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

nper is the number of semiannual coupons in 9 years i.e 9*2=18

pmt is the amount of semiannual coupon =$1000*4.8%*6/12=24

pv is the current price which is $1087.43

face value is $1000

=rate(18,24,-1087.43,1000)

rate=1.83% (semiannual yield)

annual yield=1.83%*2

annual yield=3.66%

there are so many examples for that in different areas, like biology experiment carried out in our lab recently.

the correct answer option is b. a single paragraph.

explanation:

when you are thinking about paragraph​ topics, you should always choose a subject that can be adequately addressed in a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a piece of writing consisting of a few sentences that deal with a single theme. it has only a single idea that the paragraph revolves around and talks about.

so a paragraph topic must be chosen wisely where a single idea can be communicated in a single paragraph.
