Answer:
Annual Interest = $80
Interest rate = 8.89%
Explanation:
The investor pays discounted price for this bond.
We know, Annual Interest = Coupon payment/Market value
Given,
Coupon payment = Principal value*Coupon rate
Coupon payment = $1,000*8% = $80
Market value = Price pays for the bond = $900
Therefore, the annual interest rate = $80/$900
Annual Interest rate = 8.89%
Note that, coupon payment is the annual interest rate.
Answer:
price of wheat to increase, the supply of bread to decrease, and the demand for potatoes to increase.
Explanation:
A drought will reduce the supply of wheat thereby causing the supply curve to shift upwards (to the left) leading to an increase in the price of wheat. Since wheat is a basic ingredient in producing bread, an increase in the price of wheat will increase the cost of producing bread. An increase in cost of producing bread will reduce the supply of bread, shifting the supply curve to the right.
Potatoes and bread are close substitutes and therefore, have a competitive demand. An increase in the price of bread will increase the demand for potatoes because rational consumers will opt for a cheaper alternative considering their money income.
Answer:
The opportunity cost of that decision is - $250,000
Explanation:
For computing the opportunity cost, we have to use the formula of opportunity cost which is shown below:
= Return of project which is not chosen - the return of a chosen project
= $750,000 - $1,000,000
= - $250,000
Since in the question, it is given that the chosen project is X so we write the project X amount in the formula and the not chosen project of-course is Y.
Hence, the opportunity cost of that decision is - $250,000
Since the cost of $20,000 has been incurred two years ago, the firm should check and see as to how many units of the product were produced in the two years. Did the firm produce enough items to break even the cost of acquisition. Additionally the business should also check the current market value of this two year old equipment. The business manager should weigh in the savings that is to be obtained from outsourcing along with the resale value of the old machine and then take a declension as to whether the company should go for outsourcing. Also, the business manager must examine whether the outsourcing can happen for the long run. This is because two years down the line, outsourcing may have increased the cost and again another process may look attractive. So a through cost benefit analysis should be made before taking a decision.
