The government wants to protect the consumer's interest, that is why they are regulating the monopoly. Monopolies have the power to set higher prices than the competitive market. They regulate monopolies to prevent excess prices, quality of service( to ensure the firm receives minimum standard of service), monopoly power,promote competition, and natural monopolies( we cannot encourage competition, and it is essential to regulate firm to prevent monopoly of power). <span />

bazaltina [42]

Answer: B. D) are not materially different from ethical principles in general.

Explanation:

Ethical Principles are Ethical Principles. It doesn't really matter what context they are being applied to for they are a standard thing with reference of course, to the society the business is based in. For this reason Business Ethics are not materially different from general ethics.

Business Ethics are usually a reflection of the norms and cultures of the society they are based in. Think of it like this, if a company is based in a certain place and adheres to principles that are different from what is considered ethical in that society, do you think that company will be very profitable? I think not. Business Ethics are therefore based on General ethics with an immaterial difference.

A bond has yield to maturity of 7.15 percent; face value of $1,000; time to maturity of 11 years and pays coupons semiannually.
maxonik [38]

Answer:

6.34 %

Explanation:

For computing the coupon rate, first we have to determine the PMT by using the PMT formula that is shown on the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $939.02

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 7.15% ÷ 2 = 3.58%

NPER = 11 years × 2 = 22 years

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(Rate;NPER;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the PMT is $31.70

It is semi annually

Now the annual PMT is

= $31.70 × 2

= $63.40

So, the coupon rate equals to

= $63.40 ÷ $1,000

= 6.34 %
