Gabriele Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with eight years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and se
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Coupon rate = 5.8%

Explanation:

The price of a bond is the present value (PV)  of the future cash flows discounted at its yield.

So we will need to work back to ascertain the coupon rate

Step 1

<em>Calculate the PV of redemption value and PV of interest payments</em>

<em>PV of Redemption </em>

= 1.067^(-5) × 1000

=723.06

<em>PV of the annual interest rate</em>

= price of the bond - PV of redemption

= $964- 723.06

= 240.934

Step 2

<em>Calculate the interest payment</em>

Interest payment = PV of redemption value / annuity factor

Annuity factor =( 1 -(1+r)^(-n) )/r

<em>Annuity factor at 6.7% for 5 years</em>

Factor =( 1-1.067^(-5) )/0.067

          = 4.1333

Interest payment =  <em>PV of the annual interest rate</em> / Annuity factor

Interest payment=

=240.93/4.1333

=58.290

Step 3

<em>Calculate the coupon rate</em>

Coupon rate = interest payment/ par value

Coupon rate = (58.290/1000) × 100

= 5.8%

Coupon rate = 5.8%

There are some 200 economic integration agreements around the world today, far more than a few years ago.NAFTA, EU, Asean etc. V
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Economic integration agreement is when countries within a particular geographical area decide to remove or relax tariff or non-tariff barriers to trade between themselves and also to coordinate and harmonize their fiscal and economic policies. Free trade area is the simplest form of an economic integration; it is when governments of member countries agree to remove trade restriction between each other and when member countries are given the freedom to determine their own external trade policies towards non-members.  

Supporters of free trade area argue that it is beneficial to the country based on the trade creation argument. Trade creation is where high-cost domestic production is replaced by more efficiently produced imports from within the group; that is, more expensive domestic products are replaced by lower priced imports from countries within the group. The trade creation argument is hinged on the fact that a free trade area ensures that trade is generated over and above what would otherwise have happened if there was no integration. Further, the removal of tariffs allows members to specialize in those products for which they have a comparative advantage leading to a variety of cheap imports for domestic consumers, thereby increasing living standards or welfare gains. Trade creation also creates an incentive for high cost domestic producers to cut cost so as to remain competitive thereby enhancing efficiency.

On the other hand, a free trade area is criticized on the basis of trade diversion. This is where trade with a low-cost country outside the group is influenced by higher–cost products supplied from within the group; this results in a less efficient allocation of resources as trade from outside the group is replaced by trade from within the group. Trade diversion could mean that local consumers would have to buy products at less competitive prices. Another argument would be that a free trade area would lead to a removal of tariff between member countries thereby resulting in a cessation of government revenue from tariffs. As opposed to a free trade area,  free trade would increase world output and employment, raise quality and lower prices of goods as firms have access to factor inputs; it will also increase world living standards or enhances welfare gains.  A free trade agreement only restricts these potential advantages to a particular geographical space.

How do businesses determine the equilibrium price of a good or service?
Helen [10]

Answer:

C. They set a price where the demand matches the quantity they are

willing to supply

Explanation:

The equilibrium price is the current market price as determined by supply and demand forces. It is the price at which buyers are happy to buy the entire supplied quantities. Suppliers are also happy to sell that quantity at the set price. The equilibrium price is, therefore, the intersection of the demand and supply curves.

At the equilibrium price, there is no excess or short supply of a product in the market.
