Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Oak Co.

The amount that Oak should report as bonds payable, net of discount is:

$400,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cash from the issue of 400 bonds = 400 * $1,000 * 97/100 = $388,000

Interest rate = 8% semiannually on April 1 and October 1

Bonds payable = $400,000 ($1,000 * 400)

Date of bonds = October 1, 2003

Accrued interest from October 1, 2003 to January 1, 2004 = $8,000

b) The bonds payable is the face value of the bonds.  It is the amount that will be due for repayment to bondholders on the maturity of the bonds in 10 years' time, precisely on October 1, 2013.

Assume that the market equilibrium price is 50 cents for a pound of bananas, and the quantity sold is roughly 10 pounds. What ki
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The price control that could generate excess supply is to increase the price to 75 cents which would give the suppliers an incentive to supply since the potential profits have risen.

Explanation:

Market equilibrium can be defined as the point where market supply and market demand are equal,leading to stabilization of prices. The forces of supply and demand usually control the price at which goods and services will be set. Economists like Adam Smith utilized the concept of the free market to stipulate that the forces of supply and demand in a market will no government interference always push the market to it's equilibrium. Equilibrium generally means that the forces in the market have no incentive of changing their behavior.

Supply can be defined as the act of making something available to someone. In the context of an economy, the suppliers make goods and services available to the consumers. Demand on the other hand is the quantity of a good or service that consumers are willing purchase at a certain price. When demand exceeds the supply, the suppliers increase the price and when the supply exceeds the demand, the price drops.

In our case, increasing the price to 75 cents would give the suppliers an incentive to supply since the potential profits have risen. This would lead to excess supply since the price is set above the equilibrium price.

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Portfolio Mean = 7.2%

Portfolio Stdev = 0.1169615 or 11.69615% rounded off to 11.70%

Explanation:

The mean return of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each security in the portfolio by the mean return of that security and adding the products for each security. The formula for two asset or security portfolio return (mean) can be written as follows,

Portfolio Mean = wA * rA  +  wB  *  rB

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each security
  • r represents the mean return of each security

Portfolio Mean = 60% * 8%  +  40% * 6%

Portfolio Mean = 7.2%

The standard deviation is a measure of the total risk. The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated using the attached formula.

Portfolio Stdev = √(0.6)² (0.2)² + (0.4)² (0.15)² + 2(0.6) (0.4) (-0.3) (0.2) (0.15)

Portfolio Stdev = 0.1169615 or 11.69615% rounded off to 11.70%
