mylen [45]

Answer:

Dustup forgot to the consumers if the add-on will give them more satisfaction from using their product.  

Explanation:

The market is always king. Getting first-hand information about what consumers need and how they need it is the best way to go about creating a product or modifying an existing one to become more profitable.

The removal of the brochures from the bottles showed that shoppers didn't necessarily want their product. What they wanted was to be able to make contact with the company and get more information on how to revive their old wooden floors.

Cheers!

Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annua
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Market Price $985.01

Explanation:

We have to convert the US semiannually rate to annually.

(1 + 0.078/2)^{2} -1 = 0.079521

Now this is the annual rate spected for a similar US Bonds

So we are going to calculate the present value using this rate.

Present value of an annuity of 78 for 20 years at 7.9521%

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

78 * \frac{1-(1+0.079521)^{-20} }{0.079521} = PV\\

PV = 768.55

And we need to add the present value ofthe 1,000 euros at this rate

\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} = Present Value}

\frac{1,000}{(1 + 0.079521)^{20} = Present Value }

Present Value = 216.4602211

Adding those two values together

$985.01

The reasoning behind this is that an american investor will prefer at equal price an US bonds because it compounds interest twice a year over the German Bonds.
