All else held constant, the present value of a bond increases when the: Multiple Choice coupon rate decreases. yield to maturity decreases. current yield increases. time to maturity of a premium bond decreases. time to maturity of a zero coupon bond increases.

yield to maturity decreases.

Explanation:

The present value of a bond is calculated by discounting the cash flows associated with the bond using yield to maturity rate. These cash flows include the periodic coupon payment and the Maturity value of the bond.

The yield to maturity and the present value of the bond is inversely proportional to each other. As the yield to maturity increases the present value of the bond decreases and vice versa.

We use the following formula to calculate the present value of the bond

Use the following formula to calculate the price of the bond

Price of the bond = [ C x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Where

F = Face value

C = Periodic coupon payment

r = Periodic yield to maturity  

n = Numbers of periods

All other provided options are incorrect.

the answer is b for dog

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
