Answer:

97.37 SF

Explanation:

Swiss bond purchase price = 1,000 SF

Swiss bond current value = PV at maturity + PV of coupon payments  = (1000 / (1 + 0.10)^7) + (80 * (1 - (1 + 0.1)^-7) / 10% = 513.16 + 389.47 = 902.63 SF

Loss to investor who holds Swiss bond for a year = 1,000 - 902.53 = 97.37 SF

10                   12.06%             ((10-1)/(40-1)*0.1024)+((40-10)/(40-1)*0.126)

20                    11.45%               ((20-1)/(40-1)*0.1024)+((40-20)/(40-1)*0.126)

The formula for the return on assets is calculated by dividing the net income by the total average assets. The profit margin and total asset sales can also be represented as a consequence of this ratio. For the calculation of the total asset return, either formula may be used.

Unions contribute to Select one: a. frictional unemployment but not the natural rate of unemployment. b. the natural rate of une
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": both frictional unemployment and the natural rate of unemployment.

Explanation:

Natural unemployment is defined as the lowest rate of unemployment an economy will reach. It is called natural because its causes are other than an adverse economy. Natural unemployment is a combination of <em>frictional unemployment</em> -employment transitions, <em>structural unemployment</em> -mismatch between abilities and current position, and <em>labor surplus</em>.

Unions are groups of individuals who join to set minimum standards at work in regards to wages, compensations, and conditions. <em>Union members are, by default, always available to join the workforce even if there is work to be done or not. Sometimes, union members are assigned duties their abilities outperform just to avoid having the member unemployed. These are the reasons why unions are said to contribute to natural unemployment.</em>

gayaneshka [121]

Answer: c. interest rate falls; investment rises

Explanation:

The Fed buying treasury securities from banks is an expansionary policy when the government wants to increase the money in circulation and increase economic growth.

When the Fed buys Treasury securities from banks, this will lead to availability of funds as prices will be pushed higher and there will be a reduction in the interest rate.

Since there is reduction in interest rate, investment will increase as investors will borrow from banks.

AysviL [449]

Answer: d. Unity of direction

Explanation:

The principle of Unity of Direction is one of the 14 principles of Fayol in relation to administration. Summarised into one phrase, the principle would mean,<em> One Head One Plan</em>.

This is because the principle believes that when in a company, different departments aim to achieve distinct goals, the departments should have a sole leader and a sole plan for the goals that should be accomplished so that there is no confusion.

This is why the Akika Corporation wants to create independent domains that reflect the actions they perform and will have the distinct roles needed to help them perform the actions efficiently.
