Answer:

 2.45%

Explanation:

The computation of the fixed rate is shown below:

Years to maturity   Zero coupon  bond price  YTM      Forward rate

1                                 0.99                     1.01%  

2                                      0.97                             1.53%       2.06%

3                                      0.93                            2.45%     4.30%

The fixed rate should be equivalent to the YTM of the 3 year bond i.e. 2.45% the same is to be considered

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$68,600

Explanation:

An predetermined overhead of $70,000 was estimated for an activity of 2,500 hours. The actual overhead assigned to the products is given by multiplying the fraction of the total 2,500 hours of activity utilized by the products by the predetermined overhead:

A = \frac{1,350+1,100}{2,500}*\$70,000\\ A = \$68,600

The total amount of overhead assigned to the products is $68,600.

The monthly demand q for a monopolist firm's product in a certain market (measured in 1000s of units) is related to the price pe
Gnesinka [82]

Answer: (b) -3.08

Explanation:

The relationship between the demand(q), price per unit product(p) and the disposable income,yd is given by the expression below;

q= 20ln(7yd-2p).

From the expression above, the marginal demand,

∂ q/∂ p is the differential of the equation of relationship between the demand, price and disposable income.

This involves considering the demand,q as the dependent variable and the price per unit product,p as the independent variable and the disposable income,yd is considered constant.

Therefore ,

∂ q/∂ p= (-40)÷(7yd-2p)

By substitution of

yd =$3000÷1000= $3

and p= $4

∂ q/∂ p= (-40)÷((7×$3)-(2×$4))

∂ q/∂ p= -40÷13= 3.08

Please see the attachment for knowledge on how ∂ q/∂ p was obtained.

Company Pea owns 90 percent of Company Essone which in turn owns 80 percent of Company Esstwo. Company Esstwo owns 100 percent o
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Company Pea

Consolidated financial statements should be prepared to report the financial status and results of operations for:

Essone - 90%

Esstwo = 72% (90% x 80%)

Essthree = 72% (90% x 80% x 100%)

Explanation:

Company Pea is described as the holding or parent company of Company Essone.  This means that Essone is Company Pea's subsidiary.  In preparing consolidated financial statements to report the financial status and results of operations for Company Essone, Company Pea will consolidate 100% of Company Essone while accounting for noncontrolling interest of 10% (effectively 90%).

When Company Essone is consolidating its financial statements, it should consolidate 80% of Company Esstwo while Esstwo consolidates 100% of Company Essthree.

But since Essthree is also a subsidiary of Company Pea, Company Pea will consolidate Esstwo and Essthree's financials to the tune of 72% respectively, while consolidating 90% of Essone's.

Point x on a linear production possibilities curve represents a combination of 50 watches and 20 clocks, and point y represents
Veronika [31]

Based on the coordinates of point x and those of point y on the linear production possibilities curve, the opportunity cost of producing one watch is 2 fewer clocks.

<h3>What is the opportunity cost of producing one watch?</h3>

The opportunity cost of producing one watch is the number of clocks that needs to be given up per watch.

This will therefore be the slope of the linear production possibilities curve which can be found as:

= (Y₂ - Y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)

Solving gives:

= (80 - 20) / (20 - 50)

= 60 / -20

= -2 clocks

This means that for every watch produced, there will be 2 clocks that will be foregone to make that watch.

In conclusion, the opportunity cost is 2 clocks.
