Answer:

The equivalent continuously compounding rate is 0.02%

Explanation:

Forward price of the contract in 3 months:

F = S x e^(r*t)

Expected equity market return of the stock in 3 months:

E(r) = F/S -1 = e^(r*t) -1 = e^(8%*1/4) - 1 = 0.0202 or 2.02%

Annual market rate or Annual market rate premium with rf as the risk-free interest rate per annum with quarterly compounding.

r = E(r) - rf = 2.02% - 8%/4 = 0.02%

The quarterly compounded rate (rq) is given by:

rq= 4 x [(r/2 + 1)^(1/2) - 1]

where r as the annual market risk rate.

Apply the above formula to the question:

rq=4 x [(0.02%/2 + 1)^(1/2) -1] = 0.0002 or 0.02%

Which of the following factors will make the demand for a product relatively elastic? rev: 05_14_2018 Multiple Choice Purchases
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The good is considered a necessity.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the sensitivity of demand for a good or service to changes in the price of that product. We say that the price elasticity of demand is elastic when a percentage change in the price of this good has major impacts on demand. On the contrary, we say that the price elasticity of demand is inelastic when variations in the price of goods have little or no influence on demand.

Usually elastic goods are those that can be replaced, so that rising prices cause a drastic drop in demand that will flow to another product. For example, if the price of the burger rises, consumers may stop buying burgers and substitute pizza (assuming these products are substitutes). On the contrary, if the good is needed, it usually tends to be inelastic, that is, the price increase does not considerably decrease the demand, because consumers need this good. For example, medicines.

During the year, Trombley Incorporated has the following inventory transactions.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

a. Ending inventory = $162, Cost of Sales = $593, Gross Profit = $478

b. Ending inventory = $227, Cost of Sales = $528, Gross Profit = $543

c. Ending inventory = $492.30, Cost of Sales = $557.94 , Gross Profit = $513.06

d. FIFO

Explanation:

FIFO

Ending inventory = 18 units × $9   = $162

                                Total               = $162

Cost of Sales = 11 units × $13 = $143

                         16 units × $12= $192

                         21 units × $11 = $231

                           3 units × $9 = $27

                         Total              = $593

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $593

                   = $1,071 - $593

                   = $478

LIFO

Ending inventory = 11 units × $13    = $143

                                 7 units × $12   =  $84

                                 Total               = $227

Cost of Sales = 9 units × $12 = $108

                         21 units × $11 = $231

                         21 units × $9 = $189

                         Total              = $528

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $528

                   = $1,071 - $528

                   = $543

Weighted-average cost

First determine the average cost.

Average cost = Total Cost / Total units

                      = $ 755 / 69

                      = $10.94

Ending inventory = Units Remaining × Average Price

                             = 45 units × $10.94

                             = $492.30

Cost of Sales = Units Sold × Average Cost

                      = 51 units × $10.94

                      = $557.94

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $557.94

                   = $1,071.00 - $557.94

                   = $513.06

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>To calculate the price of each bond, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Bond Price​= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]

<u>Bond X:</u>

Coupon= (0.11/2)*1,000= $55

YTM= 0.09/2= 0.045

Years to maturiy= 11 years

Bond Price​= 55*{[1 - (1.045^-11)] / 0.045} + [1,000/(1.045^11)]

Bond Price​= 469.1 + 616.2

Bond Price​= $1,085.3

<u>Bond Y:</u>

Coupon= (0.09/2)*1,000= $45

YTM= 0.11/2= 0.055

Years to maturiy= 11 years

Bond Price​= 45*{[1 - (1.055^-11)] / 0.055} + [1,000/(1.045^11)]5

Bond Price​= 364.16 + 554.91

Bond price= $919.07
