Answer: a. $120,000
b. $6,000
c. Yes
Explanation:
a. It is said that the collection centres would help reduce the collection time by 2 days and that every day $60,000 comes in.
If the proposal will reduce the amount of time taken to collect by 2 days then that means that the amount freed up is the amount that they would have collected in two days had it not been for the system.
That amount would be,
= $60,000 * 2
= $120,000
b. If they used this free up cash to pay off a debt that was accumulating 5% per year then the 5% will be saved.
The amount saved therefore is,
= 120,000 * 5%
= $6,000
By retiring a $120,000 that was accruing $6,000 a year, the proposal has enabled that $6,000 to be saved instead.
c. The cost of implementing this proposal is $5,200 per year and yet the savings it gives in interest is $6,000.
As the savings are higher than the cost, the number definitely suggest that the project should be implemented because it is more beneficial than it costs.

Answer: 10 years to call
Explanation:
Maturity period = 25 years
Coupon rate = 7%
6.25% basis is,
- Callable in 10 years at 103
- Callable in 15 years at 102
- Callable in 20 years at par
This bond is considered as premium bond. Therefore, in case of premium bonds, Yield to call will be lower than the yield to maturity. Here, the question is which call date should be utilized. According to the rule of thumb, it states that always use the term that is nearest to the whole call date.
Hence, on the customer's confirmation, the dollar price quoted must be based on 10 years to call.
Answer:
The marginal rate of technical substitution will remain constant.
Explanation:
The marginal rate of technical substitution is the rate at which an input is substituted for others. For instance, it is the rate at which the amount of labor should be decreased to increase the amount of capital.
It represents the slope of an isoquant. When the inputs are perfectly substitutable, the isoquant is a straight line. In this situation, the marginal rate of technical substitution remains the same at all the points of the isoquants. The MRTS remains constant, though further information is needed to find out if it is high or low.
