Answer:

The answer is 6.95%

Explanation:

We are looking for Yield-to-maturity (YTM). YTM can also be called rate of return or discount rate.

Note: The 15 -year bond was bought 2 years ago, meaning it remains 13 years

N(Number of periods) = 26 years ( 13years x 2)

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?

PV(present value or market price) = $103

PMT( coupon payment) = $3.65( [(7.3percent ÷ 2)x $100)]

FV( Future value or par value) = $100

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 26; PMT = 3.65; FV= $100; CPT PV= -103, CPT I/Y

I/Y = 3.47.

3.47% is for semiannual rate

Therefore, annual rate is 6.95% (3.47% x 2)

Suppose the real risk-free rate is 2.50% and the future rate of inflation is expected to be constant at 4.10%. What rate of retu
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: 6.6%

Explanation:

The Pure Expectations Theory believes that the future long term rate is a reflection of future short term rates.

In terms of a 5 Treasury Security then, the rate of return to be expected is the risk free rate adjusted for inflation.

The Treasury Security has no risk but for inflation risk hence this is all that should be catered for.

Rate of Return on 5 year Treasury Security = Real Risk Free Rate + Inflation Rate

= 2.5% + 4.1%

= 6.6%

Radar Company sells bikes for $490 each. The company currently sells 4,300 bikes per year and could make as many as 4,620 bikes
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Radar's additional income for accepting the order is calculated as follows:

Sales - 320 x $460 = $147,200

less Cost of Sales = 320 x $180 + $48,000 = $105,600

Additional Income = $41,600

Explanation:

The additional income of $41,600 is $147,200 - $105,600, which is the result of deducting cost of sales from Sales.

The cost of sales includes the variable cost per bike, including the incremental fixed costs ($48,000) to make this order.

To make a decision whether to accept an order or not, the company needs to consider all variable costs, including the incremental fixed costs.  The resulting additional income is what is available to offset the fixed costs.

In response to threats from such companies as Amazon, established manufacturers and retailers became "brick-and-click" oriented
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Re-intermediation

Explanation:

Re-intermediation is the method applied by most businesses in using the internet to bring together new customers for a business. The advent of technology can afford business owners the possibility of eliminating physical intermediaries in a business. For example, house agents help people who are seeking for new places to live in, find houses easily. Through the internet, however, landlords can directly advertise their vacant houses, thus eliminating the agent relationship which would have served as an intermediary.

So, when established manufacturers by-pass Amazon (which is an intermediary between buyers and sellers) by adding online services to their existing offerings, they have done a re-intermediation.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

A.$2.99

B.$1.15

Explanation:

Frantic Fast Foods

A.Computation of the earnings per share for the year 20X

Using this formula

Earnings per Share=Earnings after Taxes/Shares Outstanding

Let plug in the formula

900,000/301,000

=$2.99

The earnings per share for 20X1 will be $2.99

B. Computation of the earnings per share for the year 201X

Earnings after Taxes= 301,000 * 1.28 = 385,280

Shares Outstanding=301,000 + 32,000 = 333,000

Hence,

Earnings after Taxes/Shares Outstanding

385,280 / 333,000 = $1.15

Therefore the earnings per share for 20X1 will

be $1.15 .
