I would say that the answer is D. If he knows that people don't buy encyclopedia's, yet he stocks them, the store could lose money because no one would buy it.

Hope this helps. :D

The coupon rate=8.781%

Explanation:

The current price can be expressed as;

Current price=C×{1-(1/(1+r)^n)}/r+{F.V/(1+r)^n}

where;

C=current price

r=annual yield to maturity rate

n=number of years to maturity

F.V=face value

In our case;

C=$1,108.60

r=7.5%=7.5/100=0.075

n=14 years

F.V=$1,000

replacing;

1,108.60=C×{1-(1/(1+0.075)^14)}/0.075+{1,000/(1+0.075)^14}

1,108.60=C×{1-1/(1.075^14)}/0.075+{1,000/1.075^14}

1,108.60=(C×0.637/0.075)+363.313

1,108.60-363.313=8.48915 C

C=$87.81

But;

Annual coupon payments=coupon rate×face value

where;

annual coupon payments=$87.81

coupon rate=R%=(1/100)R=0.01 R

face value=$1,000

replacing;

87.81=0.01 R×1,000

R=87.81/(0.01×1,000)=8.781%

The coupon rate=8.781%
