A bond has a par value of $1,000, a time to maturity of 15 years, and a coupon rate of 7.90% with interest paid annually. If the

current market price is $790, what will be the approximate capital gain of this bond over the next year if its yield to maturity remains unchanged? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

$5.97

Explanation:

In order to determine the capital gain of the bond in a year's time,it is first first of all important to calculate the yield to maturity on the bond which is arrived at by applying the rate formula in excel as follows:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of coupon interest the bond would pay over its entire life of 15 years which is 15

pmt is the annual interest,7.9%*$1000=$79

pv is the current market price of the bond which is $790

fv is the value of $1000

=rate(15,79,-790,1000)=10.79%

Afterwards,the price of the bond in one year' time can then be calculated:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

The variables in the formula are as above except for nper which would reduce by 1 in a year's time

=-pv(10.79%,14,79,1000)

pv=$ 795.97  

Hence the capital gain=price now-price one year ago/price one year ago

price now is $795.97  

price one year ago was $790

Capital gain=$795.97-$790=$5.97

Capital gain %= ($795.97-$790)/$790=0.76%

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

There are no barriers to entry.

5. Both buyers and sellers are price takers

.7. Firms’ products are identical.

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

A monopoly is when there's only one firm operating in an industry.

Holmes Company produces a product that can be either sold as is or processed further. Holmes has already spent $60,000 to produc
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Holmes should sell process the product further, because the profit if process further is higher than sell product now.

Explanation:

Net profit if sell product now is $37,500 ( = sales to another manufacturer $97,500 – already spent $60,000)

Sales as in process further/ Incremental Accounting

Sales: $695,125 (=$415 x 1,675 units)

Additional Process costs: $485,570 (=$290 x 1,675 units)

Net profit if process further = total sales $695,125 – already spent $60,000 – additional process cost $485,570 = $149,555, higher than profit $37,500 if sell now.

A manufacturer shipped units of a certain product to two locations. The equation above shows the total shipping cost TTT, in dol
andriy [413]

Answer: 2,200 units.

Explanation:

The complete exercise is:

T = 5c + 12 f

A manufacturer shipped units of a certain product to two locations. The equation above shows the total shipping cost T, in dollars, for shipping c units to the closer location and shipping f units to the farther location. If the total shipping cost was $47,000 and 3,000 units were shipped to the farther location, how many units were shipped to the closer location?

Given the following equation:

T = 5c + 12 f

You know that "T" is the total shipping cost (in dollars), "c" is the number of units shipped to the closer location and "f" is the number of units shipped to the farther location.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can identify that, in this case:

T=47,000\\\\f=3,000

Then, knowing those values, you need to substitute them into the given equation:

47,000 = 5c + 12(3,000)

And finally, you must solve for "c" in order to calculate the number of units that  were shipped to the closer location.

You get that this is:

47,000 = 5c + 12(3,000)\\\\47,000-36,000 = 5c\\\\11,000=5c\\\\\frac{11,000}{5}\\\\c=2,200
