Answer:
The yield to maturity is 6.45%.
Explanation:
Yield to Maturity (YTM) is the long term yield on the bond based on the assumption that the bond is held till maturity. The Yield to Maturity is calculated using the formula as shown in the attachment,
The coupon payment on bonds is = 1000 * 0.07 = 70
YTM = ( 70 + (1000 - 1038.5)/9 ) / ((1000 + 1038.5) / 2)
YTM = 0.06448 or 6.448% rounded off to 6.45%
Answer:
The automotive company has run into bribery and corruption, one of the most common ethical challenges businesses faced today as they expand internationally.
Explanation:
As with the given scenario above, this company had three potential countries in which to expand their business of building a factory. These countries asked for an amount of extra kickbacks in exchange for helping the company run their business with ease.
However, in the business world, <em>kickbacks</em> are considered an illegal form of payment (or bribe) that one may gave as a compensation to an individual or organization with a considerable superiority and great influence in exchange for an improper advantageous treatment or service.
Such misappropriation of money violates the state or federal laws, which makes it a form of corruption.
Now, the automotive company from the given scenario had faced a dilemma whether to accept the bribe or not. It's a challenge for them as their decision might positively or negatively affect their business expansion.

Answer:
A. Movement on the PPC
B. Rightwards / Outwards shift of PPC
C. Less Concavity of PPC
Explanation:
Production Possibility Curve is combination of two goods that an economy can produce, given resources & technology (efficient utilisation).
- It is a downward sloping curve as more of one good can be produced by sacrifising other good, same resources & technology.
- It is concave curve because of increasing marginal opportunity cost, i.e increasing amounts of a good to be sacrifised to gain additional amount of other good, as resources are not equally efficient in production of both goods.
- Points on PPC reflect full utilisation, points under PPC reflect under utilisation, points above PPC are unattainable.
a) A disagreement between persons favouring more domestic welfare spending or national welfare spending : Is just an issue of reallocation of same resources, technology. So, PPC doesn't change & there can only be movement on the PPC (more of one good, less of other good)
b) An increase in population : leads to increase in human resource & hence the PPC shifts outwards / rightwards as the production potential of economy rise with more human resource.
c) Technological change that make resources less specialised : would reduce resources' efficiency gap in production of two goods. So, Marginal Opportunity cost reduces & hence the PPC becomes less concave.
