Answer:
Bond Price = $86409.67366 rounded off to $86409.67
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 100000 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $3000
Total periods (n) = 10 * 2 = 20
r or YTM = 0.08 * 6/12 = 0.04 or 4%
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 3000 * [( 1 - (1+0.04)^-20) / 0.04] + 100000 / (1+0.04)^20
Bond Price = $86409.67366 rounded off to $86409.67

Answer: 5,882.5 hours
Explanation:
Cumulative Labor Hours to be planned for = Cumulative factor * Time of first unit
Cumulative Factor = Average learning rate for Number of units.
Learning rate from unit 1 to 2 = Labor hours required for 2nd unit / Labor Units required for 1st unit
= 2,250/2,500
= 0.9
Learning rate from unit 2 to 3 = Labor hours required for 3rd unit / Labor Units required for 2nd unit
= 2,120/2,250
= 0.94
Average learning rate = (0.9 + 0.94) / 2
= 0.9
= 90%
There are 6 units in total including the first units checked and the additional 3 units.
Cumulative factor for 6 units at 90% from the table is 5.101.
Cumulative labor hours = 5.101 * 2,500
= 12,752.5 hours
The time for the Addiotnal 3 units is;
= Cumulative time for all units - time for the first 3 units
= 12,752.5 - 2,500 - 2,250 - 2,120
= 5,882.5 hours
