liberstina [14]

Answer:

D. Deflation

Explanation:

"Consumer Price Index" <em>(CPI)</em> measures the changes in the weighted average of prices of a market basket (consisting of consumer goods and services). It tells the<u> cost of living for every consumer. </u>

"Inflation" refers to the sustained increase of prices of goods and services while "deflation" refers to the sustained decrease of prices of goods and services.

In the situation above, the CPI is considered lower than before, thus <u>deflation</u> must have occurred during the second six-year period. It shows a <u>negative inflation rate.</u>

So, this explains the answer.

Using the following information, what is the amount of gross profit?​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Gross profit= $54,700

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchases $37,000

Merchandise inventory, September 1 6,100

Merchandise inventory, September 30 6,800

Sales 91,000

<u>First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold:</u>

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

COGS= 6,100 + 37,000 - 6,800

COGS= $36,300

<u>Now, the gross profit:</u>

Gross profit= sales - COGS

Gross profit= 91,000 - 36,300

Gross profit= $54,700

The YTM on a 2 year zero coupon bond is 5% and the YTM on a 1 year zero coupon bond is 3%. What does the no-arbitrage condition
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

<em>$111.11 or 111.11% of face value</em>

Explanation:

Assuming the face value of $100 for all bonds (without loss of generality)

If the two year coupon bond is repackaged as a one year zero coupon bond paying $12 after one year and another two year bond paying $112 after 2 years, the price of the two zero coupon bonds are given as

Price of one year Zero coupon bond = 12/1.05 = $11.43 (one year ZCB has YTM of 5%)

Price of two year Zero coupon bond = 112/1.06^2 = $99.68 (two year ZCB has YTM of 6%)

So, one can sell the repackaged bonds at a price = $11.43+ $99.68 = $111.11 or 111.11% of face value
