Answer:

Ans. The equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury bond is 6.65% (please check the explanation)

Explanation:

Hi, well, this type of bonds exist so people can avoid the time value of money risk, in other words, to keep money save from inflation and provide a risk free return at the same time. From a part of the text I can tell that the person who wrote it wanted to add up the risk free rate and the inflation rate, that is 3.05%+3.60% =6.65%.

This is why I wrote this answer, but the truth is that since they are both effective rates (risk free rate and inflation), they need to be add as effective rates, that is:

(1+r(e))=(1+rf)*(1+Inf)

Therefore

r(e)=(1+rf)*(1+Inf)-1

r(e)=(1+0.0305)*(1+0.036)-1=0.0676

So the real equilibrium rate of return is 6.76%, but for the sake of the question, I wrote 6.65%.

Best of luck.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The chosen option (considering enrollment costs and opportunity cost) is:

b) College course.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Costs/Benefits

                           College Course          Community Course

Cost                              $2,600                         $1,390

Opportunity costs         -2,080                          2,080

Net costs                         $520                        $3,470

Distance to course      0.40 miles                    16 miles

                                  (walking distance)      (driving distance)

Timing of course          Weekday                     Weekend

Number of meetings    16                                 8

b) With the College course option, you will earn $2,080 ($260 * 8) weekdays to offset part of the enrollment cost.  With the Community course option, $2,080 will be lost in opportunity cost, thereby increasing the total costs incurred.  These costs are apart from the driving costs associated with traveling 16 miles to the Community Course at the local library.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Swen is using product/service repositioning strategy.

Explanation:

Product Repositioning simply refers to the art of altering the target markets perception of one's product and or services.

Swen is still in the clothing business. He has only changed the way he delivers it to the target consumers.

Of course, this sometimes calls for a change in product mix (which refers to altering the type of products being offered). However, the central idea of the strategy still holds as customers now see the business differently.

This type of strategy is easier to pull off for start-ups, or unpopular businesses trying to make a comeback. Where the business is a well-established brand, it can prove extremely difficult and may be costly.

Cheers.

The goal of the g21 plan was to bring a vehicle to market that represented a great value and had great environmental benefits. t
svet-max [94.6K]

The answer to the blank space is green marketing.

The Prius is supposed to be marketed for its great value and environmental benefits – thus making the type of marketing the company is doing a green marketing. A green marketing is defined as the process of marketing a product or service based on their environmental benefits – it could be because the product itself is environmentally-friendly (such as the Prius, which is a hybrid electric-gasoline car, which means that it won’t emit as much pollution) or because it is produced in an environmental-friendly way.
