Short position (I think you were supposed to add answers)
Answer:
5.657%
Explanation:
Data provided:
Face value = $1,000
Current market price = $640
Time of maturity, t = 8 year
Now,
the compounding formula is given as:
Face value = Current amount × 
where,
r is the rate i.e pretax rate of debt
n is the number of times the interest is compounded i.e for semiannual n = 2
thus, on substituting the values, we get
$ 1,000= $ 640 × 
or
1.5625 = 
or
= 1.0282
or
r = 0.05657
or
pretax cost of debt = 0.05657 × 100% = 5.657%
Answer:
They will decrease as production decreases
Explanation:
Total Variable cost is sum of all the cost incurred in production of total units of goods produced. It is directly proportional to the number of units of goods produced. It helps to analyze cost structure of goods and then decide on pricing strategy of the goods. Some of the examples of variable cost can be packaging cost, raw material’s cost.
Mathematically it can be defined as
Total variable cost = Total units of goods produced * variable cost for one unit of good produced
Hence from the given option They will decrease as production decreases as the number of units of goods produced will decrease and hence lesser raw material and packaging will be required to produce the goods.
<u>Answer:</u> This approach is called attrition.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Attrition is the process of reducing the workforce of the company due to various reasons. Here South Carolina has lot of budget constraints which forces the state to reduce the in take of new employees. This approach can also be called as hiring freeze so that the payroll can be reduced instead of doing layoffs.
The strength of the state is reduced in order to reduce the expenses and money pay outs. When there is a deficiency in the budgets actions have to be taken accordingly to minimize the effects.
