An organic farmer has identified three distinct groups that might be interested in his products: vegetarians, health-conscious i

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is b) market segments.

Explanation:

A market segment is a group of consumers, it is mostly homogeneous either by certain characteristics or by their needs, which are identified as a market that presents similar desires or buying habits and that would potentially respond similar to the strategy developed by the marketing mix.

Through market segmentation you will be able to identify the segment to be served and establish the strategy to achieve it. At the time of segmenting the market you can do so by responding to the strategy you wish to apply:

Differentiated: taking into account that the segment to be attended is heterogeneous and the product or service to be offered is built to meet the particular needs of each client.
Undifferentiated: based on the needs that the group commonly responds. Here the product or service satisfies each client corresponding to the indicated segment in the same way.
Concentrated: it is the most specialized strategy of the three. The idea here is to concentrate efforts in the segment where a strong comparative advantage is achieved.

Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 5.8 percent coupons, make semiannual payments,

viva [34]

Answer:

a.

Percentage change in Bill Price = (91.8486 - 100) / 100 = -0.0815 or -8.15%

Percentage change in Bill Price = (78.1448 - 100) / 100 = -0.2186 or -21.86%

b.

Percentage change in Bill Price = (109.0298 - 100) / 100 = 0.0903 or 9.03%

Percentage change in Bill Price = (132.0946 - 100) / 100 = 0.3209 or 32.09%

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage change in the price of both the bonds, we assume that the par value of both the bonds is $100 each.

a.

To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. 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) both Bill and Ted = 100 * 0.058 * 6/12 = $2.9

Total periods (n) - Bill= 5 * 2 = 10

Total periods (n) - Ted= 25 * 2 = 50

As the bonds were previously price at par, the YTM or market interest rate would have been same as the coupon rate. Thus, the old market interest rate was 5.8%. Now as the interest rates have risen by 2% new interest rate will be = 5.8 + 2 = 7.8%

New r or YTM - both Bill and Ted = 7.8% * 6/12 = 3.9% or 0.039

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

Bond Price - Bill = 2.9 * [( 1 - (1+0.039)^-10) / 0.039] + 100 / (1+0.039)^10

Bond Price - Bill = $91.8486

Percentage change in Bill Price = (91.8486 - 100) / 100 = -0.0815 or -8.15%

Bond Price - Ted = 2.9 * [( 1 - (1+0.039)^-50) / 0.039] + 100 / (1+0.039)^50

Bond Price - Ted = $78.1448

Percentage change in Bill Price = (78.1448 - 100) / 100 = -0.2186 or -21.86%

b.

As the bonds were previously price at par, the YTM or market interest rate would have been same as the coupon rate. Thus, the old market interest rate was 5.8%. Now as the interest rates have fallen by 2% new interest rate will be = 5.8 - 2 = 3.8%

New r or YTM - both Bill and Ted = 3.8% * 6/12 = 1.9% or 0.019

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

Bond Price - Bill = 2.9 * [( 1 - (1+0.019)^-10) / 0.019] + 100 / (1+0.019)^10

Bond Price - Bill = $109.0298

Percentage change in Bill Price = (109.0298 - 100) / 100 = 0.0903 or 9.03%

Bond Price - Ted = 2.9 * [( 1 - (1+0.019)^-50) / 0.019] + 100 / (1+0.019)^50

Bond Price - Ted = $132.0946

Percentage change in Bill Price = (132.0946 - 100) / 100 = 0.3209 or 32.09%

King Noodles' bonds have a 7.5% coupon rate. Interest is paid quarterly and the bonds mature in 8 years. If the discount rate is

natima [27]

Answer:

The price of King Noodles' bonds is $970.66

Explanation:

Coupon payment = 1000 x 7.5% = $75 per year = 75/4 = 18.75 per quarter

Number of periods = n = 8 years x 4 quarter each year = 32 quarter

Yield to maturity = 8% per year = 8% / 4 = 2% per quarter

Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows, to calculate Price of the bond use following formula:

Price of the Bond = $18.75 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Price of the Bond =$18.75 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 2% )^-32 ) / 2% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 2% )^32 ]

Price of the Bond = $18.75 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.02 )^-32 ) / 0.02 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.02 )^32 ]

Price of the Bond = $440.03 + $530.63

Price of the Bond = $970.66
