Answer:

B. All the above are included in GDP.

Explanation:

GDP is a measure of an economy’s total production and in most cases, it is used to determine how developed or how grown a certain economy is. To calculate the GDP, we take into consideration every form of production within the country. Factors such as consumption expenditure, private domestic investment, government spending, imports and exports are all determinants of GDP. Therefore, the sale of stocks and bonds, sale of services and the sale of used goods, collectively are included in calculation of GDP. Hence the correct answer is B.

Bond j has a coupon rate of 5 percent and bond k has a coupon rate of 11 percent. both bonds have 13 years to maturity, make sem

aleksley [76]

To find the change in the price of the bonds, first need to find the price of individual Bond.

Bond Price is directly related to the change in the YTM of the bond. If the YTM rises by 2%, the price of the bond will fall.

Bond J :

(WHEN YTM IS 8%)

Coupon Rate: 5%

Coupon Amount (PMT): $1,000 * 5% = $50/2 = $25 (Semi annual coupon amounts)

Number of years (NPER) = 13*2 = 26

YTM (rate) = 8%/2 = 4%

Face Value: $1000

Price (PV0) : ?

To find the price of the bond, can either use excel or with formula.

When input the below formula in excel,

PV =pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)

P0 =pv(4%,26,-25,-1000)

When input the formula in excel, we get PV as $760.26

(WHEN YTM RISES BY 2%, NEW YTM IS 10%)

Coupon Amount (PMT): $25 (Semi annual coupon amounts)

Number of years (NPER) = 26

YTM (rate) = 10%/2 = 5%

Face Value: $1000

Price (PV1) : ?

To find the price of the bond, can either use excel or with formula.

When input the below formula in excel,

PV =pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)

P1 =pv(5%,26,-25,-1000)

When input the formula in excel, we get PV as $640.62

CHANGE IN THE BOND PRICE OF BOND J DUE TO THE CHANGE IN THE YTM

%change = (P1 – P0)/P0

%change = ($640.62 - $760.26)/$760.26

%change = -18.68%

Therefore, with the increase in 2% YTM of BOND J, the price falls by 18.68%

Bond K :

(WHEN YTM IS 8%)

Coupon Rate: 11%

Coupon Amount (PMT): $1,000 * 11% = $110/2 = $55 (Semi annual coupon amounts)

Number of years (NPER) = 13*2 = 26

YTM (rate) = 8%/2 = 4%

Face Value: $1000

Price (PV0) : ?

To find the price of the bond, can either use excel or with formula.

When input the below formula in excel,

PV =pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)

P0 =pv(4%,26,-55,-1000)

When input the formula in excel, we get PV as $1,239.74

(WHEN YTM RISES BY 2%, NEW YTM IS 10%)

Coupon Amount (PMT): $55 (Semi annual coupon amounts)

Number of years (NPER) = 26

YTM (rate) = 10%/2 = 5%

Face Value: $1000

Price (PV1) : ?

To find the price of the bond, can either use excel or with formula.

When input the below formula in excel,

PV =pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)

P1 =pv(5%,26,-55,-1000)

When input the formula in excel, we get PV as $1,071.88

CHANGE IN THE BOND PRICE OF BOND K DUE TO THE CHANGE IN THE YTM

%change = (P1 – P0)/P0

%change = ($1071.88 - $1239.74)/$1239.74

%change = -13.54%

Therefore, with the increase in 2% YTM of BOND k, the price falls by 13.54%

SIMILALRY IF THE BOND PRICES FALLS BY 2%, the YTM WILL BE 6%/2 = 3% **(REFER THE IMAGE ATTACHED)

The intensity of competition is greater in declining industries in which: a. the product is easy to differentiate. b. exit barri

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

b. exit barriers are high

Explanation:

Declining industries are those industries wherein the industry has saturated and experiences a negative growth. The characteristic of such industries being the products are lesser in demand.

For instance, cassettes and magnetic tapes industry was in demand until the arrival of more advanced forms such as compact discs and usbs, post which those industries turned into declining industries.

A declining industry with high barriers to exit would experience a greater competition since the barriers would encourage competition instead of withdrawal. And with higher costs of withdrawal, the firms continue producing at negative growth.
