Find the convexity of a seven-year maturity, 6% coupon bond selling at a yield to maturity of 8%. The bond pays its coupons annually. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Answer:
convexity = 37.6306
Explanation:
given data:
maturity time = 7 years
yield to maturity (y) = 8% = 0.08
coupon bond = 6%
price= $89.59 ( gotten from the summation of pv(cf) from the table attached below )
t = time
convexity can be found using this formula
[tex]= \frac{1}{p(1+y)^2} * summation of (t +t^2) * pv(cf)[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{89.59*(1.08)^2} * 3932.310[/tex] = 37.6306
Direct materials are $15 per unit; direct labor is $7 per unit and variable overhead costs are $2 per unit. If total product costs are $27, what are fixed costs per unit
Answer:
the Fixed cost per unit is $3
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost per unit is shown below:
Total cost per unit = Direct Material cost per unit + Direct labor cost per unit + variable Overhead cost per unit + Fixed cost per unit
$27 = $15 + $7 + $2 + Fixed cost per unit
$27 = $24 + Fixed cost per unit
So,
Fixed cost per unit is
= $27 - $24
= $3
hence, the Fixed cost per unit is $3
The trade-off between work and leisure underlying the supply of labor involves the substitution effect and the _____ effect.
Answer:
income
Explanation:
Answer:
income effect
Explanation:
In microeconomics, trade off can be theoretically explained as the estimate of similarities or dissimilarities that exist between monetary compensation received by employee from the employer and the pleasure gotten from leisure. And this could involve substitution effect and the income effect.
Note that the income effect is the alteration in demand for a good or service as a result of the effect on income of consumer while substitution the effect deal with alteration of the price of a good as a result of demand of that particular goods by customer.
Therefore,trade-off between work and leisure underlying the supply of labor involves the substitution effect and the income effect.

C&A sells T-shirts for $20 that cost $5 to produce. The annual holding cost percentage is 10% and the T-shirts turn 25 times a year. What holding cost does C&A incur for each T-shirt? $0.50 $0.02 $0.08 $0.04
Answer:
$0.02
Explanation:
C&A sells T-shirts for $20 that cost $5 to produce
The annual holfing cost percentage is 10%
The T-shirts turn 25 times a year
The first step is to calculate the holding cost
= $5 × 10/100
= $5 × 0.1
= 0.5
Therefore, since the T-shirts turn over 25 times a year then, the holding cost that C&A incurs for each T-shirts can be calculated as follows
= 0.5/25 times
= $0.02
Hence C&A incur a holding cost of $0.02 for each T-shirts

Positive feedback loops Consider two variables: A and B. A positive feedback loop arises when A increases B, and B increases A. A. True B. False Consider the following scenario: The thermostat in Lucia's house regulates the temperature to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. As the temperature in the house rises above 75 degrees, the thermostat turns on the air conditioner which cools the house back down towards 75 degrees. This interaction between the temperature and use of the air conditioner______an example of a positive feedback loop.
Answer:
1. A positive feedback loop arises when A increases B, and B increases A.
A. True
2. The thermostat in Lucia's house regulates the temperature to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. As the temperature in the house rises above 75 degrees, the thermostat turns on the air conditioner which cools the house back down towards 75 degrees. This interaction between the temperature and use of the air conditioner___is not___an example of a positive feedback loop.
Explanation:
The best way to explain a positive feedback loop is to study what usually occurs in nature when the product of a reaction leads to an increase in that reaction. For example, in labor and childbirth, a body system in homeostasis or equilibrium is moved away from that equilibrium. It is negative feedback loops that can return a system to equilibrium as described in the example of the thermostat and the air conditioner above.

At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 26,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials, and 15% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 76,000 units and transferred 86,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 16,000 units in inventory, 90% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. If Martin Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Forming Department.
Answer:
Materials - 100,400Conversion - 95,600Explanation:
Equivalent Units = Units Completed and Transferred out + Ending Work in Progress.
Materials Equivalent Units
Ending Work in Progress = 90% * 16,000
= 14,400 units
Equivalent Units = 86,000 + 14,400
= 100,400 units
Conversion Equivalent Units
Ending Work in Progress = 60% * 16,000
= 9,600 units
Equivalent Units = 86,000 + 9,600
= 95,600 units

Answer with complete Question:
Barbara buys 130 shares of DEM at $33.00 a share and 190 shares of GOP at $37.00 a share. She buys on margin and the broker charges interest of 7 percent on the loan.
a. If the margin requirement is 42 percent, what is the maximum amount she can borrow? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ 6,565.60
(Which is equal to 58(100 - 42)% of $11,320.)
b. If she buys the stocks using the borrowed money and holds the securities for a year, how much interest must she pay? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ 459.59 ($6,565.60 x 7%)
If after a year she sells DEM for $22.00 a share and GOP for $30.00 a share, how much did she lose on her investment? Use a minus sign to enter the amount as a negative value. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ 2,760
What is the percentage loss on the funds she invested if the interest payment is included in the calculation? Use a minus sign to enter the amount as a negative value. Round your answer to two decimal places.
28.44 %
Explanation:
a. Data and Calculations:
DEM, 130 shares at $33.00 a share = $4,290
GOP, 190 shares at $37.00 a share = 7,030
Total value of investments = $11,320
Margin requirement = 42% of $11.320 = $4,754.40
Barbara can borrow $6,565.60 ($11,320 - $4,754.40)
1. Interest on borrowed fund (margin):
$6,565.60 x 7% = $459.59
2. Loss from Sale of:
DEM, 130 shares at $22.00 a share = $1,430 ($11 x 130)
GOP, 190 shares at $30.00 a share = $1,330 ($7 x 190)
Total loss from investments = $2,760
3. Percentage Loss, with interest included:
Interest on borrowed fund = $6,565.60 x 7% = $459.59
Total loss from investments = $2,760.00
Total loss = $3,219.59
Total value of investments = $11,320
Percentage Loss = $3,219.59/$11,320 * 100 = 28.44%
Use the information in the table below:
Items Billions of $
Savings deposits 7000
Money market mutual funds 700
M2 13700
Checking deposits 2250
Small time deposits 750
1. What is M1?
2. Now, calculate the amount of currency in billions of dollars in the economy from the given information (assume no traveler's checks).
Answer:
1. $5,250 billion.
2. $3,000 billion.
Explanation:
1. M1 = M2 - Savings deposits - Money market mutual funds - Small time deposits
M1 = $13,700 billion - $7,000 billion - $700 billion - $750 billion
M1 = $5,250 billion
Thus, M1 is $5,250 billion.
2. Currency in circulation = M1 - Checking deposits
Currency in circulation = $5,250 billion - $2,250 billion
Currency in circulation = $3,000 billion
Thus, the amount of currency in circulation is $3,000 billion.

A stock has an expected return of 11.1 percent, its beta is .86, and the risk-free rate is 5.55 percent. What must the expected return on the market be?
Answer:
12%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on the market is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
11.1% = 5.55% + 0.86 × (Market rate of return - 5.55%)
So, the market rate of return is
= (11.1% - 5.55%) ÷ 0.86 + 5.55%
= 12%
Also , The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as the market risk premium

What is not a major purpose of orientation and socialization? Reducing employee turnover Reducing employee benefits Reducing stress and anxiety Reducing start-up costs
Answer:
B). Reducing employee benefits
Explanation:
Orientation and socialization programs primarily aim to make the new employees familiar to the organization, their role in the organization, the policies, rules, and to the other employees also. It helps the new employees to adapt easily to the new work environment, internalize the values, culture, and principles of the organization, build effective work relationships, etc.
As per the question, 'reducing the employee benefits' is not a major purpose of conducting orientation and socialization programs as it has no affiliation to it. These programs primarily aim to familiarize the new employees to the work culture which helps in reducing employee turnover(loss of talent due to an old employee leaving the organization and replaced by a new one), reducing the stress and grievances of the new employees, and reducing start-up costs as once the employees are familiar, they would yield maximum productivity in limited time. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Explain why income property cash flow is not the same as taxable income. Property cash flow usually differs from property taxable income because:
Answer:
Income property cash flow is not the same as taxable income for the following reasons:
- The amount of income that the owner must report for federal income tax purpose is different from the net cash flow created by the rental property
- While the interest part of a mortgage payment is tax deductible, a cash outflow is not tax deductible.
-In the calculation of taxable income from annual operations,a deduction for -depreciation is allowed, however, the owner does not pay for depreciation on an annual basis. This creates a reduction in taxable income as compared to the actual cash flow.

Holding all else constant, a decrease in the market demand for a product in a competitive market would cause
Answer & Explanation: Holding all else constant, a decrease in the market demand for a product in a competitive market would cause the marginal revenue (MR) curve of the firms to shift to the left or downwards. Marginal revenue describes graphically, the additional income generated from the sale of one additional unit of a product or service. Thus, it shows the relation between the marginal revenue received by a firm for selling its product or service and the quantity of product or service that was sold. To be plotted, a comparison is made between the total revenue generated from any given number of sales and the total revenue generated from selling one extra unit.
A company issues 9%, 5-year bonds with a par value of $140,000 on January 1 at a price of $145,678, when the market rate of interest was 8%. The bonds pay interest semiannually. The amount of each semiannual interest payment is:
Answer:
Semi annual interest payment = $6300
Explanation:
The interest payment of bond is calculated based on the coupon rate of the bond. The coupon rate is the interest rate carried by the bond. This rate can be different from the market interest rate and bond's yield to maturity. The interest payment is calculated by multiplying the coupon rate by the face value of the bond.
Annual interest payment = Coupon rate * Par value
For a semi annual bond, we calculate the interest payment in the same way as the annual bond. However, we just have to adjust the coupon rate for the semi annual period. We multiply the coupon rate by 6/12 as it is a semi annual payment.
Semi annual interest payment = Coupon rate * 6/12 * Par Value
Semi annual interest payment = 0.09 * 6/12 * 140000
Semi annual interest payment = $6300

Net farm income for this operation is $_________ b. The equity for this operation is $_______
Answer:
(A) $350,000
(B) $8,000,000
Explanation:
The following information was gotten from a farm in the Rio Grande Valley
Cash receipts from farm is $500,000
Marketings Receipts of government is $100,000
Payments other income from farm sources $50,000
Production expenses is $300,000 Value of real estate assets is $10,000,000
Value of non-real estate assets is $1,000,000
Financial assets is $5,000,000
Liabilities is $8,000,000

Suppose that the price of corn is above its equilibrium price. You would expect to see:________.
A) a leftward shift of the demand curve because of the high price.
B) an increase in quantity demanded because of the high price
C) a shortage on the market that causes prices to increase further
D) sellers begin to lower their price because of the surplus of corn.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
If the price of corn is above its equilibrium price, corn becomes more expensive to consumers. As a result, they reduce the quantity demanded of corn. there would be a movement along the demand curve for corn and not a shift of the demand curve.
Quantity supplied would also increase as a result of the high price. The fall in quantity demanded coupled with the rise in quantity supplied would lead to a surplus. Due to the surplus, sellers would reduce price until price falls to equilibrium price
