Answer:
-3.91%.
Explanation:
The Duration Adjustment (% change in bond price) is given by:
= (Duration) * (Change in yield in %)
= -(7.81) x (0.5%)
= -3.91%
The Convexity Adjustment is given by:
= 0.5 * Convexity * (Change in yield, as a fraction)^2
= 0.5 * 99.87 * (0.005)^2
= 0.5 * 99.87 * 0.000025
= 0.001248375
= 0.0012%
Thus, the convexity correction is 0.0012%
Thus, the total change in bond price = -3.91% + 0.0012% = -3.91%.
Answer:
c. Debit to Fair value adjustment for $30,000
Explanation:
The first step of accounting process is Journal entry and it is made to record the transactions for process of book keeping, it defines the accounts involved and effects of transactions on the account by debit or credit.
As the bond price is amortized earlier by 5,000 then its net realizable value was $195,000 ( $200,000 - $5,000 ). on December 31, year 3 the fair value adjusted to $225,000. so the adjusted value will be $30,000 ( $225,000 - $195,000 ). The journal entry is as follow
Dr. Cr.
Dec 31, year 3
Fair value adjustment account 30000
Unrealized gain on available for sale securities 30000
Answer:
D. lowers the discount rate but not if it auctions more credit
Explanation:
Discount rate adjustment and Federal Reserve's auction have the following effects on reserves.
Discount rate adjustment: a <em>higher discount rate</em> will encourage investment in the US economy, thus leading to <em>increased reserves</em> as investment inflows increase.
On the other hand, a <em>lower discount rate</em> encourages investment outflow into other jurisdictions with higher yields, <em>thus reducing reserves</em>.
Auction: <em>auctioning more credit</em> will result in the movement of investment flows into the Federal Reserve (<em>an increase in reserves</em>) as investors invest in auctions. Vice versa.
Therefore, a mix of lower discount rate and not auctioning more credit will result in lower reserves.
Answer:
$15,000
Explanation:
Operating income is the difference between the net sales or revenue generated by a business and the operating expenses of the business.
The operating expenses of the business may be classified into 2 groups namely the fixed and variable costs.
The total operating cost of the business
= ( $9 + $6 + $28 + $32) per barrel
= $75
operating income of both divisions
= 200 ( $150 - $75)
= 200 * $75
= $15,000
