<h3>What is financial statement fraud?</h3>

Asset misappropriation, financial and non-financial reporting, regulatory compliance areas, and illegal conduct should all be covered in the fraud risk assessment.

One of the most typical methods used to commit financial statement fraud is the recording of false revenues. Due to their understanding of accounting and unrestricted access to accounts, the controller or chief financial officer (CFO) of a corporation is frequently the perpetrator of financial statement fraud.

By purposefully making false assertions, fraudsters may be after either monetary or non-monetary assets. Fraudulent conduct could include, for instance, knowingly lying about one's age to gain a driver's license, criminal past to get a job, or income to get a loan.

Why does supply decrease when the price<br> of resources increases?

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

Resources are the ( inputs) materials used in the production of goods meant for sale. The cost of inputs has a direct impact on the price of the finished goods(output). An increase in the cost of inputs increases the cost of production. An increase in production cost increases without a corresponding rise in the selling price means that the profits margin per unit will decline.

Suppliers are motivated to sell or deliver more quantities in the market by profit prospects. An increase in the costs of inputs decreases profit margins. Reduced profits margin result in suppliers supplying reduced quantities in the markets.

Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 6.2 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 yea

iragen [17]

Answer:

a-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = -8.07%

a-2. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = -21.12%

b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = 8.94%

b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = 30.77%

c. See the attached excel file for the graph.

d. It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.

Explanation:

The price of each bond can be calculated using the following excel function:

Bond price = -PV(YTM, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)

Where;

a-1. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill?

YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = -PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = $919.29

Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($919.29 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -8.07%

a-2. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted?

YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = -PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = $788.81

Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($788.81 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -21.12%

b-1. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill be then?

YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = -PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = $1,089.36

Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($1,089.36 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 8.94%

b-2. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted be then?

rate = new YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = -PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = $1,307.73

Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($1,307.73 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 30.77%

c. Illustrate your answers by graphing bond prices versus YTM.

Note: See the attached excel file for the graph.

d. What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?

It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.

f the price of a slice of pizza rises from $2.50 to $3, and quantity demanded falls from 10,000 slices to 7,400 slices, calculat

Schach [20]

Answer:

arc price elasticity = -1.64

Explanation:

arc price elasticity = (change in quantity x average price) / (change in price x average quantity)

change in quantity = 7,400 - 10,000 = -2,600 units
average price = ($2.50 + $3) / 2 = $2.75
change in price = $3 - $2.50 = $0.50
average quantity = (10,000 + 7,400) / 2 = 8,700 units

arc price elasticity = (-2,600 x $2.75) / ($0.50 x 8,700) = -7,150 / 4,350 = -1.64
