...to pay a cash dividend until infinity. No growth is expected. Investors require a 6% rate of return. What is the value of the common stock?

The market price of a bond is $875. The bonds have a 4.25% coupon rate paid annually and mature in six years. What is the yield to maturity for the bonds if an investor buys them at the $875 market price?

I can't figure this out. The equation I have includes a so-called "par value" but no par value is given in this question. Thank you for your help.

It is Pablo, not Paul. It is the more beautiful Spanish pronunciation, not the English.

He writes dark poetry and tries to impress a girl in his class. The opening scene has him drinking some concoction some other guy made in science class, He and the girl get together. Any ideas?

The app can be related to anything. What info do you need or game would you want to play while you're out and about?

I know it depends on the maturity of the child, but I'm just looking for a ballpark. When did you let your kids stay home by themselves (sans babysitter)?

Someone posted the following gentle inquiry: Do you see any problems with women dating openly bisexual and gay men?

My response: Absolutely. Most straight women get AIDS from men who sleep with other men.

That was my response. Yahoo Answers deleted my answer and penalized me ten points. They said I violated the "insulting and ranting" clause. With all due respect and humility to you, humble answerer to my post, do you think I insulted or ranted? If so, could you kindly explain, but only if you feel comfortable and so-inclined? Thanks with utmost gratitude, humility, and non-offensiveness.

My 11-year-old son loves Runescape and wants to dress like his character for Halloween. This means he needs some Renaissance clothes and, most importantly, a very stylish cape. (If you play RS, you know what the skill capes look like.) I am searching endlessly for a costume for him, but all the websites I've searched so far have inadequate costumes, little kid costumes, or just costumes made of pure cheese whiz!!! :P Can someone help? He wants to look seriously cool. If you have the direct link to a good costume for him, you get ten points!

I can find plenty of information about candidates and propositions, but I can't find anything about the judges running for election in California. Does anyone know of a source? I checked the League of Women Voters, who usually have this sort of information, but it's not there. Thanks!

It seems the literal translation in Dutch is "savage talks". But I don't think it has a negative connotation. Is it just an expression? What does it really mean? Thanks. :)

I'm trying to translate the phrase "sixteen years, sixteen songs" and I'm getting mixed results: "zestien jaar, zestien liederen" and "zestien jaren, zestien liederen". Ugh. Can anyone help? I'd prefer a native speaker. Dank je.

someone wrote this to me, but the direct translation is confusing me....

Song - Por Besarte by Lu

Y no me has dado tiempo de disimularte

que te quiero amar

que por un beso puedo conquistar el cielo

y dejar mi vida atras

Quiero pertenecerte ser algo en tu vida

que me puedas amar

con un abrazo fuerte hacerte una poesia

renunciar a lo demas

Y en cada frase oculta de lo que tu digas

en un beso hablara

ya no me queda duda solo ven y escucha

decidamos comenzar

Por besarte

mi vida cambiaria en un segundo

tu, serias mi equilibrio, mi destino

besame y solo asi podre tenerte

eternamente en mi mente

Un solo intento basta en este momento

para poder saber

si aun nos queda tiempo para estar en medio

de lo que va a suceder

Conmigo no hay peligro ven te necesito

la distancia no es

motivo del olvido aqui estoy yo contigo

y para siempre yo estare

Por besarte

mi vida cambiaria en un segundo

tu, serias mi equilibrio, mi destino

besame y solo asi podre tenerte

eternamente en mi mente

Can't think of a word. The meaning is something like a pattern or formula to solve a math or science inquiry. It isn't a rubric and it isn't a theorem. It's another word. Can anyone help me? Someone at a fair with puzzles like the Rubick's Cube and other toys used this word to describe how the Rubick's Cube was solved, and I can't remember it. She was Asian and smart, and she said................what? I am at a loss.

I'm fairly sure I know, but I've only been able to guess the meaning from context. I can't find a definition.

They fly to a trainyard in a helicopter. Jack has the agent kneel down and he shoots him in the back of the head. The bad guys come over in a van and pick up the body. Who was the actor who played the agent Jack executed and what was his character's name? Also, if you know the season and the episode, that would be great.
