Answer 1

Answer # 1)

a)

The correct option is first ( - 45, 7.5,7.7,7.5, 50) . This is different from the remaining three as the middle three values are 7.5 which is not equal to 50 - 45 = 5

In other cases

Option 2) 21 - 18 = 3
Option 3 ) 7 -6 = 1
Option 4) 105 - 95 = 15.

b)

The correct option is first option

We can see that the value 105 - 100 = 5

The par values are usuually $ 100 or $ 1000 . som municipal bonds trade at $ 5000.

The other options do not have these values.

c)

The correct options are second and third options.

The bond is trading at Par and the coupon rate is 5 %
