Loretta Scholten buys nine bonds of Leo Co. 7 1/4 16 at 103.375. The commission is $3.00 per bond. The current yield to the nearest tenth of a percent is:a. 7.0%b. 7.1%c. 7.2%d. 7.3%e. None of these

the current yield is 7.0%

Option a) 7.0%  is the current answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

coupon payment = 7 1/4% = 7.25% = 0.0725

bond price = 103.375.

we know that

Current Yield = [ coupon payment / Bond prices ]

=  [100 × 0.0725] / [ 103.375 ]

= 7.25 / 103.375

= 0.0701 or 7.0%  {nearest tenth percent}

therefore the current yield is 7.0%

Option a) 7.0%  is the current answer

it is a. 4.2 because 7.6-3.4 gets the remaining length of 4.2. i might be wrong but i am pretty sure this is the answer.

answer: i don't understand it
