Which of the following is the correct way to describe equilibrium in a market?

Gabriele Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with eight years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and se

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Coupon rate = 5.8%

Explanation:

The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash flows discounted at its yield.

So we will need to work back to ascertain the coupon rate

Step 1

Calculate the PV of redemption value and PV of interest payments

PV of Redemption

= 1.067^(-5) × 1000

=723.06

PV of the annual interest rate

= price of the bond - PV of redemption

= $964- 723.06

= 240.934

Step 2

Calculate the interest payment

Interest payment = PV of redemption value / annuity factor

Annuity factor =( 1 -(1+r)^(-n) )/r

Annuity factor at 6.7% for 5 years

Factor =( 1-1.067^(-5) )/0.067

= 4.1333

Interest payment = PV of the annual interest rate / Annuity factor

Interest payment=

=240.93/4.1333

=58.290

Step 3

Calculate the coupon rate

Coupon rate = interest payment/ par value

Coupon rate = (58.290/1000) × 100

= 5.8%

Coupon rate = 5.8%

To manufacture 3,000 pairs of sandals in a week, a firm can use 3,600 workers and 135 machines or 270 machines and 3,300 workers

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

3,600 workers and 135 machines is more technically efficient.

Explanation:

a. For 3,600 workers and 135 machines

Worker technical efficiency = 3,600/3,000 = $120%

Machine technical efficiency = 135 / 3,000 = 4.50%

Average technical efficiency = (120% + 4.5%) / 2 = 62.25%

b. For 270 machines and 3,300 workers.

Worker technical efficiency = 270/3,000 = $9%

Machine technical efficiency = 3,300 / 3,000 = 110%

Average technical efficiency = (9% + 110%) / 2 = 59.50%

Conclusion

Since the average technical efficiency of 62.25% is higher than 59.50%, 3,600 workers and 135 machines is more technically efficient.

The equivalent units in beginning work in process inventory plus the equivalent units in ending work in process inventory equals

vivado [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The formula for equivalent units units as follows:

Opening Work in Process + Equivalent units on which the work is done - Closing Work in process = Units Transferred

Therefore, ideally,

Opening work in process - Closing work in process = Units transferred - Equivalent units on which work is done.

As adding all the cost incurred during the period to opening inventory of work in process, we get the total cost for the period, thereafter, deducting the cost allocated to closing work in process we get the value of goods produced and transferred.

Therefore, above statement is false.
