Answer:
The answer is B) "lower the prices that customers pay."
Explanation:
Actually, to increase capacity during high demands, the company do not need to lower the prices that customers pay but rather in crease the prices. According to law of demand and supply, the higher the demand, the more the price. Also, the company may also open another new branch for more production, approve overtime work and wages for employers, create more shifts and even subcontract part of the production to another company to ensure faster process but with same quality.
Answer:
d. 5.08%
Explanation:
We have to first calculate the YTM of the bond, and then apply the tax shield.
To get the YTM we have to calculate the rate of return of an annuity of 46.25 for 20 years compounding semiannually at IRR rate and the present value of the face value redeem in 20 years.
IRR = 0.084656891 (it should be done using financial calculator or excel or a similar software program)
then we apply the shield tax to the IRR:
IRR x (1 - tax-rate) = Cost of debt
0.084656891 * ( 1 - 0.4) = 5.0794= 5.08
Answer:
The rate of return is 7.20%
Explanation:
a) Assuming you purchased the bond for $880, in order to calculate the rate of return you earn if you held the bond for 25 years until it matured with a value $5,000 we would have to calculate the following formula:
Rate of Return = [FV/PV]1/n - 1
Rate of Return= [$5,000 / $880]1/25 - 1 = [5.6818]0.04 - 1 = 1.0720 - 1 = 0.0720, or 7.20%
Rate of Return= [5.6818]0.04 - 1
Rate of Return= 1.0720 - 1
Rate of Return=0.0720, or 7.20%
The rate of return is 7.20%
There is very simple logic between demand and supply. When demand is high, price rises and currency appreciates in its value. On the other hand, price should decline if import rate is mare compared with export rates. As prices of U.S goods increases which ultimately goes to international market where producers have to pay domestic currencies. Americans will demands comparatively less expensive goods. So it will result in supplying more dollars to foreign exchange market.
Finally, increasing demand of pounds. Finally, U.S dollars appreciates and pound depreciates. Trade value is amount by which total import value deviates from export value. Due to changes in interest rates results in trade imbalance in U.S. There is not greater effect on Scotland as it is key player in transporting of energy products to rest of U.K.
