Answer:

The plot of the yields is attached.

Explanation:

i) 6%, 7%, 8%, 7%, 6%

Interest rate on 1 year maturity = 6%/1 = 6%

Interest rate on2 year maturity = (6%+7%)/2 = 6.5%

Interest rate on 3 year maturity = (6%+7%+8%)/3 = 7%

Interest rate on 4 year maturity = (6% + 7% + 8% + 7%)/4 = 7%

Interest rate on 5 year maturity = (6% + 7% + 8% + 7% + 6%)/7 = 6.8%

ii)6%, 5%, 4%, 5%, 6%

Interest rate on 1 year maturity = 6%/1 = 6%

Interest rate on 2 year maturity = (6% + 5%)/2 = 5.5%

Interest rate on 3 year maturity = (6% + 5% + 4%)/3 = 5%

Interest rate on 4 year maturity = (6% + 5% + 4% + 5%)/4 = 5%

Interest rate on 5 year maturity =   (6% + 5% + 4% + 5% + 6%)/5 = 5.2%

Eva8 [605]

Based on Destiny's preference for investments with the highest returns without consideration of their riskiness, he will most likely be interested in <em>A. junk bonds.</em>

  • Junk bonds issued by corporate entities lack investment-grade credit ratings. They usually yield higher returns than the average bonds with good investment-grade credit ratings.

  • Destiny will not be interested in municipal bonds because they do not meet his high-risk appetite.  Municipal bonds do not yield high returns. They are for the risk-averse investor.

  • Destiny will not be interested in corporate bonds with investment-grade credit ratings because they are more secured and less risky than junk bonds.

  • Finally, savings bonds will not be attractive to Destiny, as the U.S. Treasury issues them and they remain the safest investments.

Thus, Destiny's interest will be in junk bonds because he does not mind the risks but wants the highest returns from his investments.

Sharon and two kids makes 3 people total with both kids being under 18, the poverty level from the table is $20,231

She gets $1000 a month for her kids. 1000 x 12 months = $12,000 per year

28,000 is greater than 20,231 so she is not living in poverty.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

a) it will do 210,000 units of standard

b) 127,500 units of standard

     19,000 units of deluxe

Explanation:

         Standard   Deluxe

Sales                      115        135

Variable Cost      50         54

CM                            165         189

Constrain resource     0.5                1.5

   (machine hours)

CM per constrain  330.00    126.00

a)

As the company can use up to 105,000 machine hours It will use as much as it can in doing Standard model which yield a better contribution of the constrain resource.

105,000 machine hours available / 0.5 hours per standard unit = 210,000 units

As there are 230,000 untis available for Standard we can use the entire capacity for standard and achieve the maximum contribution

b) as there isn't enough demand for standard the compay will do the 127,500 and the rest fill it with deluxe:

105,000 hours - 127,500 x 0.5 = 28,500 hours for deluxe

28,500 / 1.5 hours per unt = 19,000 units for deluxe
