Answer:

C) 0.5; The product is inelastic.

Explanation:

Elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price.

Elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price

Elasticity of supply = 2% / 4% = 0.5

When the coefficient of elasticity of supply is less than one, supply is inelastic.

Inelastic supply means that a change in price would have little or no effect on the quantity supplied.

a bond has a face value of $1,000, an annual coupon rate of 7 percent, yield to maturity of 10 percent, and 20 years to maturity
rewona [7]

The bond that has a face value of $1,000 has a duration of 10 years.

<h3>What is a bond?</h3>

A bond is a type of security in the financial world where the issuer (debtor) owes the holder (creditor) a debt and is required, depending on the terms, to repay the bond's principal (i.e., the amount borrowed) at the bond's maturity date as well as interest (referred to as the coupon) over a predetermined period of time. The interest is typically due at regular intervals, such as every six months, once a year, and less frequently at other times. To finance long-term investments or, in the case of government bonds, to finance immediate expenses, the borrower can obtain external funds through the sale of bonds. Both bonds and stocks are considered to be forms of security, but the main distinction between the two is that (capital) stockholders have an equity stake in a company, whereas bondholders have a creditor stake.

Company C&amp;A sells 600 bottles of a dietary supplement per week at $100 per bottle. The supplement is ordered from a supplier
Katen [24]

Answer:

A. 300

Explanation:

The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

where,

Annual demand = 600 bottles × 50 weeks = 30,000 bottles

Carrying cost per bottle = $50 × 40% = $20

And, the ordering cost per order is $30

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{30,000}\times \text{\$30}}{\text{\$20}}}

= 300 bottles

Hence, option A is correct

Doris purchased a zero coupon bond 5 years ago for $675.68. If the bond matures today and the face value is $1,000, what is the
sesenic [268]

Answer:

8.00%

Explanation:

The price of a zero-coupon bond is the present value of its face value since no coupon payments exist, hence, we can determine the semiannual rate of return  using the formula below:

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV= $675.68

FV=$1000

r=semiannual rate of return=unknown

n=number of semiannual periods in 5 years=5*2=10

$675.68=$1000/(1+r)^10

$675.68*(1+r)^10=$1000

(1+r)^10=$1000/$675.68

$1000/$675.68 can be rewritten as ($1000/$675.68)^1

(1+r)^10=($1000/$675.68)^1

divide indexes on both sides by 2

1+r=($1000/$675.68)^(1/10)

r=($1000/$675.68)^(1/10)-1

r=4.00%(semiannual rate of return)

the annual rate of return(compounded semiannually)=4.00%*2=8.00%
