Answer:

0.038 units per $ of factor costs

Explanation:

Labor cost for 40 units  = 30 hours × $10/hour = $300

Cost of paper for 40 units = 15 sheets × $50/sheet = $750

Output = 40 units

Multi factor productivity is expressed as;

Multi factor productivity = Output/Total Factor cost

Multi factor productivity = 40 units/$1050 = 0.038 units per $ of factor cost

Multi factor productivity is a measure that depicts units produced for every $ of factor products used. In the above case 2 factors i.e labor and paper are used.

Suppose that the term structure is currently flat so that bonds of all maturities have yields to maturity of 10%. Currently a 5-
laila [671]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) PV=$1000

As price is equal to face value then the Coupon rate will be equal to its YTM, 10%.

Annual Coupons = 10% * 1000 = $100

b.) We have purchased the bond for $1000, so our investment is $1000

At the end of the year 1, we get a coupon of $100 and the selling price.

1st CASE - When monetary policy is tight.

New YTM = 12%

Time left to maturity (n) = 4 years

Coupon payment = $100

Price = Coupon payment X PVAF(YTM, n) + Face Value X PVF(YTM, n)

[USE TABLES or Financial calculator]

Price = 100 X PVAF(12%, 4) + 1000 X PVF(12%, 4) = 100 X 3.307 + 1000 X .636 = 303.7 + 636 = $939.7

If we sell the bond, Return = (Coupon Received + Selling price - Purchase price ) \div Purchase price

= (100 + 939.7 - 1000) \div 1000 = .0397 or 3.97%

Scenario 2 - When monetory policy is loose

New YTM = 8%

Time left to maturity (n) = 4 years

Coupon payment = $100

Therefore, Price = Coupon payment X PVAF(YTM, n) + Face Value X PVF(YTM, n)

Price = 100 X PVAF(8%, 4) + 1000 X PVF(8%, 4) = 100 X 3.312 + 1000 X .735 = 331.2 + 735 = $1066.2

If we sell the bond, Return = (Coupon Received + Selling price - Purchase price ) \div Purchase price

= (100 + 1066.2 - 1000) \div 1000 = .1662 or 16.62%

iragen [17]

Answer:

The state of New York should offer bonds at 4.76% to make indifference to purchase their bonds than Surething Inc.

Explanation:

the corporation has to pay income taxes while the State of New York do not pay for income taxes thus his yield is after-tax.

Surething Inc after tax rate:

pre-tax x (1 - tax-rate) =6.8% x ( 1 - 30%) = 0.068 x (1-0.30)  = 0.0476 = 4.76%

Currently the corporation bond yield a higher rate than the State of New york (4.76% against 4.10%)
