Kaiser Industries has bonds on the market making annual payments, with 14 years to maturity, and selling for $1,382.01. At this price, the bonds yield 7.5 percent. What is the coupon rate?

12%

Explanation:

A coupon payment on a bond is simply the annual interest payment which the bondholder will get from the bond's issue date till the bond matures. It should be noted that coupons are described in their coupon rate, and this is calculated when one adds the sum of the coupons that are paid per year and then divide it by the face value to f the bond.

Im this case, we are told that Kaiser Industries has bonds on the market making annual payments, with 14 years to maturity, and selling for $1,382.01 and that at this price, the bonds yield 7.5 percent.

Using Excel, the coupon payment will be $120. The coupon rate will now be:

= Coupon payment/Face value

= 120/1000

= 0.12

= 12%

Therefore, the coupon rate is 12%

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.
