I think policymakers would link social security payments to inflation to help the recipients with the increased cost of living due to inflation of prices also. I don't think small increases due to a low rate of inflation is a downside because the low rate of inflation means goods and services will not increase much in price so will still be relatively affordable.

Avicorp has a $ 12.9 million debt issue​ outstanding, with a 5.9 % coupon rate. The debt has​ semi-annual coupons, the next coup
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

a)

Pre-tax Cost Of Debt = 7.64%

b)

Tax Rate = 40%    

Post Tax cost of debt = 7.33% * (1 - 40%) = 4.58%  

So Post Tax cost of Debt = 4.58%

Explanation:

Bond Par Value =  12,900,000  

Bond Market Price 93% of face value = 11,997,000  

Years To maturity = 5.00  

Annual Interest 5.9% = 761,100

Formula = [Annual Interest + (Par Value-Market Value) / Years to Maturity] / [(Par value+Market Price*2)/3]

Year To Maturity = [761100 + (12900000 - 11997000) / 5] / (12900000 + 2*11997000) / 3

Year to maturity = 7.33%

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

A court will most likely;

1. Allows the parties to rescind the contract.

Explanation:

The contract includes all the costs of insuring and shipping the painting from France to New York.

Since, the agent that made the shipping estimate makes a mistake when adding up the costs and, as a result, the shipping cost listed in the contract is $1,000 less than the actual shipping costs. A court will most likely allow the parties to rescind the contract because a part of the contract agreement has been breached in error.
