Volbeat Corporation has bonds on the market with 12.5 years to maturity, a YTM of 9.8 percent, a par value of $1,000, and a current price of $949. The bonds make semiannual payments. What must the coupon rate be on the bonds? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.) Coupon rate%

9.08%

Explanation:

For computing the coupon rate  first we have to determine the monthly payment by applying the PMT formula which is to be shown in the attachment

Given that

Present value = 949

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

RATE = 9.8% ÷ 2 = $4.90

NPER = 12.5 years × 2 = 25 years

The formula is shown below:  

= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying the above formula, the monthly payment is $45.42

Now the coupon rate is

= ($45.42 × 2) ÷ $1,000

= 9.08%

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
