Recovery

Explanation:

The Business cycle is also known as the economic cycle, and consists of the periods of growth (expansion), and decline (contraction) of the economy, over a long period of time.

According to the theory of the business cycle, it is normal and expected for economies and businesses to experience periods of rise and fall.

The period that marks the transition between contraction and expansion is the recovery, because is the period when the contraction comes to a halt, and the economy starts recovering in order to expand again.

Layton Corp. has a $2,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 13 years to maturit

Leni [432]

Answer:

Bond Price= $2,162.94

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Par value= $2,000

YTM= 0.038/2= 0.019

Coupon= (0.046/2)*2,000= $46

Years to maturity= 13*2= 26

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:

Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]

Bond Price= 46*{[1 - (1.019^-26)] / 0.019} + [2,000 / (1.019^26)]

Bond Price= 936.91 + 1,226.03

Bond Price= $2,162.94

...

Relative price of peanuts respect to raisins = 4 / 2 = 2.

You can invest in an account that pays simple interest or an account that pays compound interest. In either case, you plan to in

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

You will receive $201.38 more interest if the investment is made with a compound interest rate rather than a simple interest rate.

Explanation:

Simple interest rate

We can calculate how much interests you'd obtain if you deposited the $2,600 in a simple interest rate account.

We start using the following formula for calculating the simple interests:

$I=P * r$

Where:

I are the interests per year,

P is the amount being invested,

r is the interest rate.

Replacing in the formula with the given values we have:

$I=2600*0.05=130$

We then proceed to multiply this result by the given number of years, which is 8. We get $130*8=1040$ .

Finishing with the simple interest rate, if we wanted to know how much is the investment worth at the end of a 8 year period, we must merely add the principal (the $2,600) to the total interests after the end of the period ($1040). So $2600+1040= 3640$ .

We'll use these results later.

Compound interest rate

The formula for compound interests is the following:

$I=P(1+r)^n$

Where:

I is the value of the investment after n years,

P is the principal amount being invested,

r is the interest rate,

n are the number of years the investment is compounded.

Replacing in the formula with the given values we have:

$I=2600*(1+0.05)^8=3841.38$

After the 8 year period, the investor will have $3841.38 in it's compounded interest account.

Comparing these results

We can simply substract the value of both investments at the end of a 8 year period, to determine how much more interest does the compound interest rate account give in relation to a simple interest rate account.

The values we've gotten were:

$3,640 for the simple interest rate account, and

$3,841.38 for the compounded interest rate account.

$3841.38-3640=201.38$ . Therefore the answer is: the account that pays compounded interests will pay $201.38 more to this invididual, compared to an account that pays simple interest.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

C) report $5,000 of hobby income and deduct nothing from AGI since Juanita does not itemize deductions.
