Nunavet Ocean Cruises sold an issue of 12-year ​$1,000 par bonds to build new ships. The bonds pay​ 4.85% interest, semi-annuall
frez [133]

Answer:

bond market value $660

Explanation:

We need to calculate the present value of the maturity and the cuopon payment using the effective rate of 9.7%

First we do the annuity:

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

C  24.25  (1,000 face value x 4.85 bond rate / 2 )

time  24.00 (12 year 2 payment a year)

rate  0.04850 (current rate divide by 2 to get it annually)

24.25 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0485)^{-24} }{0.0485} = PV\\

PV $339.55

Then present value of the maturity

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

Maturity   1,000.00 the face value of the bond

time   24.00

rate   0.04850

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0485)^{24} } = PV  

PV   320.89

Finally we add them together:

PV coupon payment $339.5545

PV maturity  $320.8910

Total $660.4455

rounding to nearest dollar

bond market value $660

Suppose the price of gasoline decreases from $4.20 to $2.00, and in response quantity demanded increases from 10600 to 11200. Us
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

0.079

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows

Formula

Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)

Calculation

Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)

Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688

Elasticity of demand =-0.079

working

Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1  

Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05

Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600

average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900

 

The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.
