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.
Nominal yield (coupon rate) The nominal yield (NY) is the coupon rate on the face of the bonds. For exam purposes, you can assume that the coupon rate will remain fixed for the life of a bond. If you have a 7-percent bond, the bond will pay $70 per year interest (7% Ã $1,000 par value). When a problem states that a security is a 7-percent bond, itâs giving the nominal yield.
