A 6.50% coupon bond with 18 years left to maturity is offered for sale at $1,035.25. What yield to maturity [interest rate] is the bond offering? Assume interest payments are paid semi-annually, and solve using semi-annual compounding. Par value is $1000.

The yield to maturity is 6.3974%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the yield to maturity is as follows

Given that

NPER = 18 × 2 = 36

PMT = $1,035.25 × 6.50% ÷ 2 = $33.65

PV = $1,035.25

FV = $1,000

The formula is shown below:

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

The present value comes in negative

AFter applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is

= 3.1987% × 2

= 6.3974%

Hence, the yield to maturity is 6.3974%

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
