Suppose a gardener produces both tomatoes and squash in his garden. If he must give up 8 bushels of squash to get 5 bushels of tomatoes, then his opportunity cost of 1 bushel of tomatoes is 5/2 bushels of squash.

Opportunity costs are the possible advantages which any person or  investor  or any company forgoes while deciding between the  two options.

Opportunity costs are invisible in nature. An opportunity cost is simply by definition is the difference between the expected returns of each option and this is also  the formula for doing so.

A credit card had an Apr of 12.87% all of last year and compounded interest daily. What was the credit card's effective interest
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

13.73%

Explanation:

Effective annual rate = (1 + APR / m ) ^m - 1

M = number of compounding = 365

(1 + \frac{0.1287}{365} )^{365} - 1

(1.000353)^{365} - 1 = 0.1373 = 13.73%

A 30-year maturity bond making annual coupon payments with a coupon rate of 8.5% has duration of 12.88 years and convexity of 23
marin [14]

Answer:

a. Predicted Price = $1815.52

b. Predicted Price = $1,834.64

c. Predicted Price = $1425.4

Explanation:

The actual price of the bond as a function of yield to maturity is:

Yield to maturity --- Price

7% $1,620.45

8% $1,450.31

9% $1,308.21

a.

Using the Duration Rule, assuming yield to maturity falls to 6%:

Predicted price change = (-D/(1 + y)) * ∆y * Po

Where D = Duration = 12.88 years

y = YTM = 7%

∆y = 6% - 7% = -1%

Po = $1,620.45

So, Predicted Change = (-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * -0.01 * 1,620.45

Predicted Change = 195.0597757009345

Predicted Change = $195.06 ----- Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 + $195.06

= $1815.52

b.

Using Duration-with-Convexity Rule, assuming yield to maturity falls to 6%

Predicted price change

= [(-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * (-0.01) + (½ * 235.95 * (-0.01²))] * 1,620.45

= 214.1770345759345

= $214.18 ------ Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 + $214.18

= $1,834.64

c.

Using the Duration Rule, assuming yield to maturity rise to 8%:

Predicted price change = (-D/(1 + y)) * ∆y * Po

Where D = Duration = 12.88 years

y = YTM = 7%

∆y = 8% - 7% = 1%

Po = $1,620.45

So, Predicted Change = (-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * 0.01 * 1,620.45

Predicted Change = -195.0597757009345

Predicted Change = -$195.06 ----- Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 - $195.06

= $1425.4

Dave bought a new car 8 years ago for $8400. To buy a new car comparably equipped now would cost $12,500. Assuming a steady rate
umka2103 [35]

The yearly rate of inflation in car prices over the 8 years that Dave bought his new car for $8,400 is <u>5.1%</u>.

<h3>What is inflation?</h3>

Inflation is the general increase in prices of goods and services in an economy which reduces the purchasing power of the consumers.

Based on the given information, the yearly increase in the inflation rate can be computed using the present value formula from an online finance calculator as below.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

N (# of periods) = 8 years

I/Y (Interest per year) = 5.1%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $0

FV (Future Value) = $12,500

<u>Results:</u>

PV = 8,396.31 or $8,400

Total Interest $4,477.49

Thus, the yearly rate of inflation in car prices over the 8 years that Dave bought his new car for $8,400 is <u>5.1%</u>.
