Because of this safety feature, tempered glass is used in the side and rear windows of automobiles made in the United States, as well as in the windshields of some foreign- made cars. Flotation is a method used by scientists to determine the ________________ of a particle of glass.
Coupon tells us the rate of returns(%) for the bonds when it was first issued based on issue price. Yield tells us the rate of returns(%) for the bond based on current price. Assuming a bond was issued at $1000, promising to pay $50 yearly, it has a coupon rate of 5% & yield of 5%. However, if due to unforseen circumstances the bond price drops to $500, it still has a coupon rate of 5% but the yield is currently 10%. Coupon (%) = Returns / Issue Price * 100.
Itâs the same as the coupon rate and is the amount of income you collect on a bond, expressed as a percentage of your original investment. If you buy a bond for $1,000 and receive $45 in annual interest payments, your coupon yield is 4.5 percent. This amount is figured as a percentage of the bondâs par value and will not change during the lifespan of the bond. Current yield is the bondâs coupon yield divided by its market price. To calculate the current yield for a bond with a coupon yield of 4.5 percent trading at 103 ($1,030), divide 4.5 by 103 and multiply the total by 100.
