From an accounting standpoint, stockholders' investment and revenues increase the assets of the company without adding to the liabilities. Therefore according to the equation (A = L + E), equity must increase.

Similarly, issuing dividends and paying expenses pays cash out of the company, which decreases assets without changing liabilities. Therefore equity must decrease.

Another way to think of it is: what contributes to the company's profit and/or value, and what decreases these things? Well, revenues and people investing in the company are good (and therefore good for stockholders), and giving cash out and paying expenses are costs to the company (and therefore decrease value for stockholders).

Suppose a bond with a 10% coupon rate and semiannual coupons, has a face value of $1,000, 20 years to maturity and is selling fo
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The YTM is less than 10%

Explanation:

If a coupon rate of a bond is greater than its yield to maturity (YTM), the bond is said to trade at a premium. The Bond's current price would be greater than its Face value

If a coupon rate of a bond is less than its yield to maturity (YTM), the bond is said to trade at a discount. The bonds current price would be less than its face value

In this Question, the bond's current price ($1,197.93) is greater than its face

($1,000) which means that the bond is trading at a premium. Therefore, we can conclude that the bond's YTM is less than its coupon payment. In this question the coupon rate is 10%, therefore the YTM should be less than 10%.

2.) Which of the following is true? A. The convenience yield is always positive or zero. B. The convenience yield is always posi
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": The convenience yield is always positive or zero.

Explanation:

The convenience yield reflects the premium of possessing an asset instead of one of its derivates or contracts. This situation arises in front of inverted markets, where holding the asset itself may bring more profits than purchasing a derivate of the same asset.

<em>The convenience yield tends to be positive or zero because the prices of assets cannot fall below zero. In other words, they are not negative.</em>
