Answer:

True

Explanation:

In a market economy ,driving force that encourages people and organizations to improve their material well-being is profit motive . The profit motive driving force to improve their material  well-being is characterized by capitalism and free enterprise . Capitalism is an economic system in which private citizens, like you, own and use the factors of production. Individuals or companies make products and profits. If the products can be bought and sold without government regulation or control, we have a condition called a free market.

If an economy has both capitalism and free markets, we say that the economy is based on free  enterprise. Under free enterprise, resources are privately owned. Competition is allowed with a  minimum (least amount) of government controls.

Therefore, the degree of operating leverage is 6.

A $1,000 bond matures in 15 years and carries a 5 percent coupon. The bond is callable in 5 years at a premium equal to one year
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The formula is

Price of the bond = [ $25 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 2.35% )^-30 )/ 2.35% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 2.35% )^30 ]

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond, use the following formula

Price of the bond = [ Coupon payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + Semiannual market rate )^-numbers od periods )/ Semiannual market rate ] + [ Face value / ( 1 + Semiannual market rate )^numbers of periods ]

Where

Coupon payment = $1,000 x 5% x 6/12 = $25

Semiannual market rate = 4.7% x 6/12 = 2.35%

Numbers of periods = 15 years x 12/6 = 30

Face value = $1,000

Placing values in the formula

Price of the bond = [ $25 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 2.35% )^-30 )/ 2.35% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 2.35% )^30 ]

Pakistan’s GDP in 2010, using the official exchange rate on 1/1/2010, is equal to $300 billion USD ($300,000,000,000). When 2010
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Undervalued

Explanation:

The PPP exchange rate is the implicit exchange rate, so that everywhere, one dollar has the same purchasing power. In general, this exchange rate is different from the exchange rate on the market.

Because the same nominal GDP translates to a higher real GDP by using the PPP exchange rate, one Pakistan Rupee must be valued more in terms of U.S. dollars than in contexts of the market exchange rate under the PPP exchange rate. The Pakistan Rupee is therefore worth less than its true value in the economy, i.e., undervalued.
