Sarah has an absolute advantage in the PRODUCTION OF MUGS. This is because Sarah can produce 32 mugs while Charles in comparison can only produce 25 mugs. 
Absolute advantage refers to the capacity of a country or a company or a person to execute a particular economic activity more efficiently than others. Someone who has an absolute advantage will be able to produce a particular good or service at a greater quantity than his competitors using the same resources. In the scenario given above, it can be seen that Sarah is able to produce more mugs efficiently more than Charles in six hours period.

Miller Corporation has a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond pays a coupon of 10 percent, has a YTM of 8 percent,
Degger [83]

Answer:

          Miller Bond:                    

Today:      1,166.63

1-year       1,159.83

4-years     1,135.90

9-years     1,081.11

13-years   1,018.86

14-years  1,000 (maturity)

Modigliani Bond

Today:     851.01

1-year      856.25

4-years    875.38

9-years     922.78

13-years   981.41

14-years  1,000 (maturity)

Explanation:

The present value will be the discount coupon payment and maturirty at the YTM rate:

<u>Miller Bond:</u>

The coupon payment are calcualte as ordinary annuity

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 50.00 (1,000 x 10% / 2)

time      28 (14 years x 2 payment per year)

rate   0.04 (8% YTM / 2 payment per year)

50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.04)^{-28} }{0.04} = PV\\

PV $833.1532

While Maturity, using the lump sum formula

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $1,000.00

time   28 semesters

rate  0.04

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.04)^{28} } = PV  

PV   333.48

PV coupon $833.1532  +PV maturity  $333.4775  = Total $1,166.6306

For the subsequent time we must adjust t

in one year, there will be 26 payment until maturity

50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.04)^{-26} }{0.04} = PV\\

PVcoupon $799.1385

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.04)^{26} } = PV  

PVmaturity   360.69

Total $1,159.8277

As the bond get closer to maturity it will get closer to face value until maturity when it will equalize it.

<u>We recalculate the same formula with values of:</u>

in 4-year : then 10 years to maturity t = 20

in 9-years: then 5 years to maturity t= 10

in 13-years: 1 year to maturity t = 2

at 14 years: is maturity date so equals the face value of 1,000

<em>Remember:</em> there are two payment per year.

Same process will be done with Modigliani bond:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 1,000 x 8% / 2 payment per year : 40.00

time: 14 years x 2 payment per year = 28 payment

rate 10% annual rate /2 = 0.05

40 \times \frac{1-(1+0.05)^{-28} }{0.05} = PV\\

PV coupon $595.9251

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity $ 1,000.00

time   28 semester

rate  0.05

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.05)^{28} } = PV  

PV  maturity 255.09

PV coupon $595.9251  + PV maturity  $255.0936 = Total $851.0187

and then we calcualte for the same values of t we are asked for the Miller bond.

<h2>The first three options are right</h2>

Explanation:

Exchange rate:

  • The "price  or value of one country's currency" is exchanged for the price of "another country's currency value".
  • The exchange rate always varies. It gets updated everyday.
  • Exchange rates are calculated based on the value of "interest rate, trade, inflation, growth rate, employment and geopolitical conditions".
  • There are two ways in which currency value is determined. A floating value is identified by the open market.
  • We must travel to another country when we need more exchange rates.
