Answer:

No

Explanation:

Determining how great an investment is dependent on more that just its interest rate. Apart from the tenor (time to maturity) and the interest rate mentioned in the question, one prominent factor to consider in determining how great a bond is is its risk.

  • Risk: irrespective of the interest rate of a bond, a riskier bond (issued by a company with a rating less than investment grade) are not considered as great an investment as sovereign bonds (issued by governments). This riskiness of a bond is usually measured by its credit rating.

As such, the financial adviser may be wrong in saying long term bonds are great because of the interest rate of 20% without considering the risk involved in investing in the bond.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Long term bonds might not be great investments if the interest rate fall  or even slide into negative value in the future. This means that the bond will become insignificant in value.

Ash, Inc., has declared a dividend of $6.60 per share. Suppose capital gains are not taxed, but dividends are taxed at 20 percen
lakkis [162]

Answer:

$89.32

Explanation:

For computing the ex-dividend price, first we have to determine the after-tax dividend which is shown below:

After-tax dividend would be

= Dividend per share × (1 - tax rate)

= $6.60 × (1 - 0.20)

= $5.28

Now the ex-dividend price would be

= Sale price of stock - after-tax dividend

= $94.60 - $5.28

= $89.32

Hence, we considered all the information which is mentioned in the question.

A mandatory seatbelt law ends up raising the number of traffic fatalities if it lowers fatalities per accident from 0.10 to 0.07
kykrilka [37]

Answer: 50,000

Explanation:

The question shows that at the current number of accident per period which is 35,000, 0.1 fatalities are recorded.

If the new seat belt law reduces the fatality rate from 0.1 to 0.07, how many accidents would have to occur for the new law to match the previous fatality rate given the previous number of accidents.

Let the new number of accidents be x;

35,000 * 0.1 = 0.07 * x

3,500 = 0.07x

x = 3,500/0.07

= 50,000

At 50,000 accidents, the new law will cause the same amount of fatalities than before. Anything more than 50,000 would lead to more fatalities than before.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

$86,000

Explanation:

FIFO means first in, first out. It means that the first purchased inventory is the first to be sold.

This means thay the 500 units sold would be taken from the earliest purchased inventory and the ending inventory would be the most recently purchased inventories.

Ending inventory = (80 × $150) + (370 × $200) = $12,000 + $74,000 = $86,000

I hope my answer helps you
