Answer:

$922.69  

Explanation:

The price of the 3-year bond can be computed using the below bond price formula:

Price=face value/(1+r)^n+coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r

face value is $1000

r is the new interest rate of 8%

n is the number of annual coupons the bond would pay which is 3

coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1000*5%=$50

price=1000/(1+8%)^3+50*(1-(1+8%)^-3)/8%

price of 3-year bond=$922.69

An investor holds a 6% callable bond purchased at 105. If the issuer calls the bond before maturity, the yield to call (YTC) rea
myrzilka [38]

Answer: less than the coupon

Explanation:

When a bond that is bought at a premium of 205 is called before the bond matures by the issuer, this implies that the accelerated premium loss will have to be reflected in calculated yield to maturity.

It should also be noted that the YTC is the lowest among the yields for the premium bonds. Therefore, if the issuer calls the bond before maturity, the yield to call (YTC) realized by the investor would be less than the coupon.

Option B is correct.

Adkins Bakery uses the modified halfminusmonth convention to calculate depreciation expense in the year an asset is purchased or
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The correct answer is $9187.5.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Asset cost = $140,000

Residual value = $42,000

Life period = 8 years

So, Annual depreciation can be calculated by using following method:

Annual depreciation = ( Asset cost - Residual value) ÷ Life period

= ($140,000 - $42,000) ÷ 8

= $12,250

As depreciation is to be recorded till Dec.31

So, total time period = Apr - Dec = 9 months

So, Depreciation expense till Dec.31 = $12,250 × (9 ÷ 12)

= $9,187.5

Hence, Depreciation expense till Dec.31 is $9,187.5.

Assume a​ Cobb-Douglas production function of the​ form: q equals 10 Upper L Superscript 0.33 Baseline Upper K Superscript 0.75.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Since 0.33 + 0.75 = 1.08 is greater than one, this production function therefore exhibits increasing returns to scale.

Explanation:

From the question, we have the following restated equation:

q=10L^{0.33} K^{0.75}

Where q is the output, and L and K are inputs

To determine the types of returns to scale, we increase each of L and K inputs by constant amount c as follows:

q = 10(cL)^{0.33}(cK)^{0.75}

We can now solve as follows;

q = 10c^{0.33+0.75} L^{0.33}K^{0.75}

q=c^{1.08} L^{0.33} K^{0.75}

Since 0.33 + 0.75 = 1.08 is greater than one, this production function therefore exhibits increasing returns to scale.
