A coupon bond that pays interest semiannually has a par value of $1,000, matures in 8 years, and has a yield to maturity of 6%.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

b. 1,062.81

Explanation:

the key to answer this question is to remember that valuation of a bond depends basically of calculating the present value of a series of cash flows, so let´s think about a bond as if you were a lender so you will get interest by the money you lend (coupon) and at the end of n years you will get back the money you lend at the beginnin (principal), so applying math we have the bond value given by:

$price=\frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{1} }+ \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{2} } \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{3} }+...+\frac{principal+principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{n} }$

where: principal as said before is the value lended, coupon is the rate of interest paid, i is the interest rate and n is the number of periods

so applying to this particular exercise, as it is not said we will assume that 6% and 7% are interest rate convertible seminually, so the price of the bond will be:

$price=\frac{1,000*\frac{0.07}{2} }{(1+\frac{0.06}{2}) ^{1} } +\frac{1,000*\frac{0.07}{2} }{(1+\frac{0.06}{2}) ^{2} }+\frac{1,000*\frac{0.07}{2} }{(1+\frac{0.06}{2}) ^{3} }+...+\frac{1,000*\frac{0.07}{2} }{(1+\frac{0.06}{2}) ^{15} }+\frac{1,000+1,000*\frac{0.07}{2} }{(1+\frac{0.06}{2}) ^{16} }$

price=1,062.81

take into account that here we are asked about semianually payments, so in 8 years there are 16 semesters.

Lofland's has $20 million in current assets and $10 million in current liabilities, while Smaland's current assets are $10 milli

hjlf

Answer:

c.The transactions would lower Lofland's financial strength as measured by its current ratio but raise Smaland's current ratio.

Explanation:

The current ratio compares current assets with current liabilities showing how many dollars of assets are there for a dollar of liabilities. This tells investors about the company ability to pay short-term obligations or those due within one year.

Current Ratio = Current Asset (CA) / Current Liabilities (CL)

Lofland's NOW = 20 M CA / 10 M CL = 2.00

Lofland's AFTER = 30 M CA / 20 M CL = 1.50

Smaland's NOW = 10 M CA / 20 M CL = 0.50

Smaland's AFTER = 20 M CA / 30 M CL = 0.67

Lofland's current ratio gets lower, so its financial strength as well. Instead, Smaland's current ratio gets higher and It´s financially stronger.

Tony notes that an electronics store is offering a flat $20 off all prices in the store. Tony reasons that if he wants to buy so

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) inconsistent reasoning; saving $20 is saving $20.

Explanation:

Tony is making an uninformed decision or more strictly, his reasoning is inconsistent. A flat discount of $20 is applicable to all products. Whether he buys something that is worth $50 or $500, his savings would still be the same.

All other options are wrong. If e.g. he this was a flat 20% discount, his savings would have been much different. e.g. 20% of $50 is $10 while it equals to a $100 for a $500 product.

At this point, he would have to make rational decision on what he really needs to buy.

The reserve requirement is 20%. Leroy receives $1,000 as a graduation present and deposits the money in his checking account. Th

lesantik [10]

Answer:

d.$5,000

Explanation:

In order to find the maximum amount of possible expansion in the money supply we will have to find the money multiplier. The formula for the money multiplier is

1/reserve ration =1/0.2=5

Now that we know that the multiplier is 5 we will multiply is by 1000 which is the initial deposit, to get the total possible expansion in the money supply, 1000*5= 5000
