Gabriele Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with nine years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and selling for $978. At this price, the bonds yield 7.4 percent. What must the coupon rate be on the bonds

Respuesta :

Answer:

7.06%

Explanation:

The computation of the coupon rate is given below:

Given that

FV is $1,000

PV is $978

NPER is 9

RATE is 7.4%

The formula is given below:

=PMT(RATE,NPER,-PV,FV,TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the PMT is $70.57

Now the coupon rate is

= $70.57 ÷ $1,000

= 7.06%
