Ace Products has a bond issue outstanding with 15 years remaining to maturity, a coupon rate of 7.4% with semiannual payments of $37, and a par value of $1,000. The price of each bond in the issue is $1,200.00. The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,074.

What is the bond's current yield? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Current yield is 6.17%

YTD is 5.43%

YTC is 4.26%

Explanation:

Tenor: 15 years

-> number of payment (NPer) is 30 (= 15 years * 2 for semiannual)

Coupon rate: 7.4%

- > semiannual payments (PMT): $37 = ($1000*7.4%/2)

Future value (FV): $1000

Present value (PV): $1200

Current yield = annual coupon/ current price = $37*2/$1200 = 6.17%

Extra:

We use excel to calculate  yield to date (YTD) or nominal yield:

= Rate(Nper, PMT, - PV,FV) = Rate(30,37,-1200,1000) = 2.717% semiannual

-> annual rate is 5.43%

The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,074, then FV is $1074

Yield to call = rate(10,37,-1200,1074) = 2.13% semiannual

-> annual rate is 4.26%

explanation:

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
