4,000×(90÷100)
=3,600

0.05×4,000
=200

0.05÷(90÷100)
=0.056×100=5.6%

Answer:

1. $3,600

2. $200

3. 5.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Value of the bond = $4,000 with interest 5% at rate 90.

Thus, the cost of the bond will be [tex]4000\times \frac{90}{100}[/tex] = 4000 × 0.9 = $3600.

Thus, the cost of the bond is $3,600.

We have that the annual interest rate is 5% i.e. 0.05 with value of the bond $4000.

So, the annual interest is 0.05 × 4000  = 200

Thus, the annual interest rate is $200.

Also, the final yield for the bond is given by [tex]\frac{0.05}{0.9}[/tex] = 0.056.

Thus, the yield for the bond is 5.6%.
