1)

Computation of Capital Gain Rate:

Capital Gain Rate = (Current Price - Previous Price)/Previous Price

= ($53 - $50)/$50

= $3/$50

Capital Gain Rate = 6%

 

2) 

Computation of Current Market Price:

Current Yield = Annual Coupon Payment / Current Market Price

3.25% = ($1,000*6.5%)/Current Market Price

Current Market Price = $65/3.25% = $2,000

 

So, the correct option is B "$2,000".

 

3)

 If the material are added continuously, new material is introduced when the previous material is converted. So, the equivalent units for conversion cost and material cost will be equal.

The given statement is true.
