Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) We first determine the annual dividend by multiplying the dividend rate against the par value: 75  0.0825 = 6.1875. Now, using the equation r = and dividing the 6.1875 annual dividend by the current price of 56.46, we get r = 0.109591, or about 10.959.

Answer to Question 2

3  2000 = 60 would be saved on each order twelve 30-day periods in the year
12  60 = 720 would be saved over the year
