Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Price ceiling:-This is show the limit of the price on maximizing value of the product which is decided by government and his imposed group for customer.

Binding:-The binding price ceiling is below the equilibrium price.  

Unbinding:-The unbinding price ceiling is above equilibrium price.  

Price floor:-This is show the limit of the price on lower value of the product which is decided by government and his imposed group for customer. A price floor must be higher than the price equilibrium price in order to be effective.  

Binding:-The binding price floor is above the equilibrium price.  

Unbinding:-The unbinding price floor is below the equilibrium price.

It is given that the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon.

Statement 1:-This is the example of price floor and binding because minimum price of $2.30 per gallon is decided.

Statement 2:-This is the example of price floor and binding because minimum price of $3.40 per gallon is decided for gasoline.

Statement 3:-This is the example of price floor and binding because teenagers are not hired due to minimum-wage laws.

Hester operates a hand car wash service and charges customers $10 per car wash. Based on her knowledge of operations, the 100th
kvv77 [185]

Answer: No. She turns away business when the cost of an additional unit exceeds the income from it.

Explanation:

In order to maximize production, the optimal point at which Hester should wash cars is the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. Marginal cost should not be above marginal revenue because it would mean that a marginal loss is being made.

At the 101st car, Hester would make a marginal loss of $0.05 because the cost of $10.05 to wash exceeds the revenue of $10.00 that she charges the customer. She should therefore not accept this or additional business because it will lead to her incurring losses.

West Company borrowed $36,000 on September 1, 2016 from the Valley Bank. West agreed to pay interest annually at the rate of 6%
Illusion [34]

Answer:

$720

Explanation:

Given that,

Principal = $36,000

Rate = 6% per year

Note issued by West carried an 18-month term.

Time period: 1st September to December = 4 Months

Interest expense = Principal × Rate × Time period

= 36,000 × 6% × (4 ÷ 12)

= $720

Therefore, the amount of interest expense appearing on West's 2016 income statement would be $720.

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%
