Answer:

3

Explanation:

We are asked to use the midpoint formula.

Here, instead of dividing the change in values by the old value as in the normal elasticity calculation, we use the average of the two.

Mathematically:

Price elasticity of demand according to midpoint formula is :

{Q2 - Q1 / (Q2 + Q1) ÷ 2] × 100%} ÷ {[P2 - P1/ (P2 + P1) ÷ 2] × 100}

Price changed from 5 to 7. The midpoint of 5 and 7 is the average = (5+7)/2 = 6

% change in price in this case is (7-5)/6 * 100 = 100/3 = 33.33%

% change in quantity:

We first find the average = (12+4)/2 = 16/2 = 8

% change = (4-12)/8 * 100 = -100%

The elasticity of demand is thus -100/33.33 = 3

Which of the following possible provisions of a bond indenture is designed to ease the burden of principal repayment by spreadin
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

d. sinking fund.

Explanation:

A bond refers to a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (creditor or investor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time.

Generally, the bond issuer is expected to return the principal at maturity with an agreed upon interest to the bondholder, which is payable at fixed intervals.

A sinking fund is a provision of a bond indenture which is designed to ease the burden of principal repayment by spreading it out over several years.

<em>Hence, a sinking fund is generally viewed or assumed to protect the bondholders such as creditors or investors because the fund set aside would serve as a collateral incase the bond issuer can't pay in the future. </em>

You are given the following information concerning a noncallable, sinking fund debenture: Principal: $1,000 Coupon rate of inter
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Capital loss of $257.38

Explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the capital gain or (loss).

Capital Gains / (Loss) = Current Price - Purchase price

As two year have been passed and we need to calculate the current price of the debenture using the following formula

Use the following formula to calculate the price of the bond

Price of the bond = [ C x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Where

F = Face value = $1,000

C = Periodic coupon payment = 7% x $1,000 = $70

r = Periodic interest rate = 13%

n = Numbers of periods = 15 years - 2years = 13 years

Placing values in the formula

Price of the bond = [ $70 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 13% )^-13 ) / 13% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 13% )^13 ]

Price of the bond = $538.46 + $204.16 = $742.62

Purchase price = $1,000

Placing values in the capital gain or (loss) formula

Capital Gain / ( Loss ) = $742.62 - $1,000

Capital Gain / ( Loss ) = ($257.38)
