View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】（A）

【analysis】

A security with a present value of 96.47, 19 interest payments of 8, and a 20th payment of principal plus interest (108) has a yield to maturity of 8.37%.

【Answer to question 2】（C）

【analysis】

Yield to maturity is based on the assumption that a bond is held to maturity, does not default, and has its coupon payments reinvested at the yield to maturity. The bond selling at a premium has the highest coupon rate and is expected to earn the most reinvestment income from reinvesting those coupon payments at the yield to maturity. If the reinvestment rate falls, this bond will suffer the greatest loss.

成功=時(shí)間+方法，自制力是這個(gè)等式的保障。世上無(wú)天才，高手都是來(lái)自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績(jī)，其成績(jī)背后無(wú)比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的進(jìn)步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。
