Paul [167]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Paul is not maximizing his utility because MUd/Pd is greater than MUb/Pb

Explanation:

Marginal utility is the extra satisfaction derived from spending an additional unit of money on consuming a particular product or service.

In order to determine if he is maximizing his utility, we must calculate his utility per dollar, and this is done by dividing his Marginal Utility by the price.

Marginal Utility per dollar of DVDs is:

MUd/Pd = 23/11 = 2.09

Marginal Utility per dollar of books is:

MUb/Pb = 5/3 = 1.67

Utility is maximized when MUd/Pd is equal to MUb/Pb and Paul has exhausted his budget.

Yan Yan Corp. has a $5,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 21 years to maturi
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Price of the bond = $4,122.36

Explanation:

<em>The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).  </em>

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV  

The value of bond for Yan Yan Corp.  be worked out as follows:  

Step 1  

<em>PV of interest payments  </em>

Semi annul interest payment  

= 4.6% × 5,000 × 1/2 = 115

Semi-annual yield = 4.1%/2 = 2.05  % per six months  

Total period to maturity (in months)   = (2 × 21) = 41 periods

PV of interest =  

115  × (1- (1+0.0205)^(-21)/0.0205)=1,946.47

Step 2  

<em>PV of Redemption Value  </em>

= 5000 × (1.0205^(-41)   = 2,175.89

<em>Step 3:Price of the bond </em>

Total present Value = 1,946.47  +  2,175.89  = 4,122.36

Price of the bond = $4,122.36

C has a $100,000 traditional whole life insurance policy with a $30,000 cash surrender value. He applies for and receives a $10,
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

If C were disabled, his beneficiaries would receive $70,000, less any outstanding interest charges

Explanation:

Policy loans can generally amount up to 100% of the cash surrender value of the policy, in this case C only requested $10,000 (1/3 of the cash value). This type of loan is fully collateralized by the cash value of the policy and the borrower can even miss some payments or pay on a later date because interests keep adding.

This type of loan can carry a fixed or variable interest rate, depends on the insurer.

If C surrenders his policy, he will receive the total cash surrender value minus the loan amount = $30,000 - $10,000 = $20,000

If C dies, his beneficiaries would receive the full benefits minus the loan amount = $100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000
