Answer:

The correct answer is the well-being of each person in an economy.

Explanation:

Also known as the "Standard of living", this is something that cannot be reflected from the per capital income, whether it's nominal or real. The reason is when you divide the GDP from the population, the assumption is all the GDP is distributed among the population equally.

But this is not the case in the real world and there are many variances, discrimination, discrepancies and inequalities when the wealth and resources are distributed.

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows.

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow each year from year 0 to 5 = $2,468

I = 5%

PV = $13,153.15

To find the PV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Evaluate this statement: "If the yield of two bonds having equal maturity changes the same amount, the price of the lower coupon

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

As the lower coupon means there is less amount of cash subject to variation of interest rate.

We must understand that in the end of the life of a bond(maturity), the value should always match the face value thus, the difference in bond market price arise from coupon payment.

If a bonds coupon payment is 40 dollars while another bond coupon payment is 80 dollars the present value of the second will be more influenced from the interest rate as there are more dollars in the future to discount.

Which of the following statements is true of the behavior of total variable costs, within the relevant range? A. They will inc

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

They will decrease as production decreases

Explanation:

Total Variable cost is sum of all the cost incurred in production of total units of goods produced. It is directly proportional to the number of units of goods produced. It helps to analyze cost structure of goods and then decide on pricing strategy of the goods. Some of the examples of variable cost can be packaging cost, raw material’s cost.

Mathematically it can be defined as

Total variable cost = Total units of goods produced * variable cost for one unit of good produced

Hence from the given option They will decrease as production decreases as the number of units of goods produced will decrease and hence lesser raw material and packaging will be required to produce the goods.

A 30-year maturity bond making annual coupon payments with a coupon rate of 8.5% has duration of 12.88 years and convexity of 23

marin [14]

Answer:

a. Predicted Price = $1815.52

b. Predicted Price = $1,834.64

c. Predicted Price = $1425.4

Explanation:

The actual price of the bond as a function of yield to maturity is:

Yield to maturity --- Price

7% $1,620.45

8% $1,450.31

9% $1,308.21

Using the Duration Rule, assuming yield to maturity falls to 6%:

Predicted price change = (-D/(1 + y)) * ∆y * Po

Where D = Duration = 12.88 years

y = YTM = 7%

∆y = 6% - 7% = -1%

Po = $1,620.45

So, Predicted Change = (-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * -0.01 * 1,620.45

Predicted Change = 195.0597757009345

Predicted Change = $195.06 ----- Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 + $195.06

= $1815.52

Using Duration-with-Convexity Rule, assuming yield to maturity falls to 6%

Predicted price change

= [(-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * (-0.01) + (½ * 235.95 * (-0.01²))] * 1,620.45

= 214.1770345759345

= $214.18 ------ Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 + $214.18

= $1,834.64

Using the Duration Rule, assuming yield to maturity rise to 8%:

Predicted price change = (-D/(1 + y)) * ∆y * Po

Where D = Duration = 12.88 years

y = YTM = 7%

∆y = 8% - 7% = 1%

Po = $1,620.45

So, Predicted Change = (-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * 0.01 * 1,620.45

Predicted Change = -195.0597757009345

Predicted Change = -$195.06 ----- Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 - $195.06

= $1425.4
