1 answer:

7 0

The free market is defined as the system in which the price of goods is agreed upon by consent between sellers and consumers, through the laws of supply and demand. Their requirements are the existence of free competition, (which in turn requires that among the participants of a commercial transaction there is no coercion, no fraud, or more generally, that all transactions are voluntary), complete universal information about the products and their prices, a free medium of exchange with a common currency, reasonable transaction costs, set of sellers and a set of buyers.

The spending variance for course supplies is:

$50 Unfavorable.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fixed cost Variable cost Variable cost Total

per month per student per course

Faculty wages $4,000 $0 $20

Course supplies $1,000 $10 $50

Administrative expenses $2,000 $20 $30

Budgeted number of students = 300

Budgeted number of courses = 15

Actual number of students = 280

Actual number of courses = 18

Actual Faculty wages = $4,200

Actual Course supplies = $4,800

Budgeted Costs:

Fixed cost Variable cost Variable cost Total

per month per student per course

Faculty wages $4,000 $0 $20 $4,300

Course supplies $1,000 $10 $50 4,750

Administrative expenses $2,000 $20 $30 8,450

Budgeted costs:

Faculty wages = $4,000 + $0 + $20 * 15 = $4,300

Course supplies = $1,000 + $10 * 300 + $50 * 15 = $4,750

Administrative expenses = $2,000 + $20 * 300 + $30 * 15 = $8,450

Budgeted Cost of Course Supplies = $4,750

Actual Cost of Course Supplies = 4,800

Spending variance for Course Supplies = 50 Unfavorable

A $ 1 comma 000 bond with a coupon rate of 6.2% paid semiannually has two years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 6%. If

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

As a result of a fall in interest and YTM, the bond price will increase by $15.04

Explanation:

To calculate the change in price due to fall in interest rate, we must first calculate the price of the bond before and after the fall of interest rates.

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 0.062 * 0.5 = $31

Total periods (n)= 2 * 2 = 4

r or YTM = 6% * 1/2 = 3% or 0.03

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Before Interest rates Fell

Bond Price = 31 * [( 1 - (1+0.03)^-4) / 0.03] + 1000 / (1+0.03)^4

Bond Price = $1003.717098 rounded off to $1003.72

After Interest Rates Fell

New YTM = 6% - 0.8% = 5.2% or 0.052

Semi Annual YTM = 0.052 * 0.5 = 0.026

Bond Price = 31 * [( 1 - (1+0.026)^-4) / 0.026] + 1000 / (1+0.026)^4

Bond Price = $1018.764647 rounded off to $1018.76

Change in Bond Price = 1018.76 - 1003.72 = $15.04

As a result of a fall in interest and YTM, the bond price increased by $15.04
