Answer: B

Country b has a comparative advantage in producing DVDs

Comparative advantage is advantage enjoyed by that country or a business that is able to produce a good or a service at a lower opportunity cost than the other.

In the given example, we can see that country A will have to give up 1 CD to produce 1 DVD

(100/100) 100 divided by 100

But country B has to give up just 0.25 CDs to produce 1 DVD hence, country B is enjoying a comparative advantage in the production of DVDs

A $1000 bond with a coupon rate of 6.2% paid semiannually has eight years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 8.3%. If intere

ohaa [14]

Answer:

The price of the bond will be $879

Explanation:

Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:

According to given data

Coupon payment = C = $1,000 x 6.2 = $62 annually = $31 semiannually

Number of periods = n = 2 x 8 years = 16 periods

Current Yield = r = 8.3% / 2 = 4.15% semiannually

Price of the Bond = $31 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 4.15% )^-16 ) / 4.15% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 4.15% )^16 ]

Price of the Bond = $31 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.0415)^-16 ) / 0.0415 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 0.0415 )^16 ]

Price of the Bond = $31 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.0415)^-16 ) / 0.0415 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.0415 )^16 ]

Price of the Bond = $521.74 + $357.26 = $879
