Answer:

Percentage change in Bill Price = (91.8486 - 100) / 100 = -0.0815 or -8.15%

Percentage change in Bill Price = (78.1448 - 100) / 100 = -0.2186 or -21.86%

Percentage change in Bill Price = (109.0298 - 100) / 100 = 0.0903 or 9.03%

Percentage change in Bill Price = (132.0946 - 100) / 100 = 0.3209 or 32.09%

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage change in the price of both the bonds, we assume that the par value of both the bonds is $100 each.

To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) both Bill and Ted = 100 * 0.058 * 6/12 = $2.9

Total periods (n) - Bill= 5 * 2 = 10

Total periods (n) - Ted= 25 * 2 = 50

As the bonds were previously price at par, the YTM or market interest rate would have been same as the coupon rate. Thus, the old market interest rate was 5.8%. Now as the interest rates have risen by 2% new interest rate will be = 5.8 + 2 = 7.8%

New r or YTM - both Bill and Ted = 7.8% * 6/12 = 3.9% or 0.039

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price - Bill = 2.9 * [( 1 - (1+0.039)^-10) / 0.039] + 100 / (1+0.039)^10

Bond Price - Bill = $91.8486

Percentage change in Bill Price = (91.8486 - 100) / 100 = -0.0815 or -8.15%

Bond Price - Ted = 2.9 * [( 1 - (1+0.039)^-50) / 0.039] + 100 / (1+0.039)^50

Bond Price - Ted = $78.1448

Percentage change in Bill Price = (78.1448 - 100) / 100 = -0.2186 or -21.86%

As the bonds were previously price at par, the YTM or market interest rate would have been same as the coupon rate. Thus, the old market interest rate was 5.8%. Now as the interest rates have fallen by 2% new interest rate will be = 5.8 - 2 = 3.8%

New r or YTM - both Bill and Ted = 3.8% * 6/12 = 1.9% or 0.019

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price - Bill = 2.9 * [( 1 - (1+0.019)^-10) / 0.019] + 100 / (1+0.019)^10

Bond Price - Bill = $109.0298

Percentage change in Bill Price = (109.0298 - 100) / 100 = 0.0903 or 9.03%

Bond Price - Ted = 2.9 * [( 1 - (1+0.019)^-50) / 0.019] + 100 / (1+0.019)^50

Bond Price - Ted = $132.0946

Percentage change in Bill Price = (132.0946 - 100) / 100 = 0.3209 or 32.09%

Some people treat $70 they earn differently from $70 they win from a lottery ticket = Reserved for Behavioral Economics.

Explanation:

The behaviors of people generally cannot completely be predicted.

Consider a public policy aimed as e-cigarettes. Assume the elasticity of demand is 0.4. If a Juul with two pods cost $40.00 and

Iteru [2.4K]

In order to reduce the Juuling by 20%, price would have to rise by 50%.

<h3>What is price elasticity of demand?</h3>

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one.

<h3>What should be the percentage rise in price?</h3>

0.4 = 20%/ price

price = 20% / 0.4

= 50%

It depends upon what is imported.

If a chocolate making machine is imported, it will create jobs because the importer of the machine will employ people to make chocolates.
