A corporate bond with a 6.5 percent coupon has 15 years left to maturity. It has had a credit rating of BBB and a yield to matur

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Price change in dollars = $104.22

% decrease in price of dollars = 11.13%

Explanation:

We assume the corporate bond have a face value of $1,000

Face Value = $1000

Coupon = 6.5%*1000/2 =32.50

Number of Periods = 15*2 =30

Semi annual rate of BBB bond = 7.2%/2 =3.6%

Price of BBB Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value =

Price of BBB Bond = 32.50*(((1-(1+3.6%)^-30)/3.6%)+1000/(1+3.6%)^30

Price of BBB Bond = $936.43

Semiannual Discount Rate for BB bond = 8.5%/2 = 4.25%

Price of BB Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value

Price of BB Bond = 32.50*(((1-(1+4.25%)^-30)/4.25%)+1000/(1+4.25%)^30

Price of BB Bond= $832.21

Price change in dollars = $936.43 - $832.21

Price change in dollars = $104.22

% decrease in price of dollars = $104.22 / $936.43

% decrease in price of dollars = 0.111295025

% decrease in price of dollars = 11.13%

Suppose in 2016, you purchase a house built in 2003. Which of the following would be included in the gross domestic product for

Katen [24]

Answer:

1) C) The value of the services of the real estate agent

2) B) $6,400

Explanation:

First, there are two questions lumped together as one

Question 1: Suppose in 2016, you purchase a house built in 2003. Which of the following would be included in the gross domestic product for 2016?

A) The value of the house in 2013

B)The value of the house in 2016 minus depreciation

C) The value of the services of the real estate agent

4) The value of the house in 2016

Question 2: Suppose that a simple economy produces only four goods and services shoes. DVDs, tomatoes, and ketchup. Assume one half of the tomatoes are used in making the ketchup and the other half of the tomatoes are purchased by households.

Products Quantity Price

Shoes 40 $60

DVDs 100 $18

Tomatoes 2,000 $1

Ketchup 300 $4

Using the information in the above table, nominal GDP for this simple economy equals A) $7, 400. B) $6, 400. C) $5, 800 units. D) $2, 440.

<u>Answer to the First Question</u>

First the Gross Domestic Product of a Country usually represents the market value or referred to as total monetary value of finished products as well as services that were engaged in during a specific period of time and within the borders of that country. The thing about GDP is that it only reflects items that are captured as products or services and which are reported for the year.

In the question therefore, the GDP will only reflect the value of product or service that was newly created in 2016. The house was built in 2003, therefore the relevant GDP item (value of the house) was captured in 2003.

The only new value is the Value of the services of the real estate agent who was engaged in 2016 to facilitate the sales of the house.

<u>Answer to the Second Question:</u>

Nominal GDP represents GDP valued at current market prices for products or services.

To calculate the Nominal GDP we look at the goods and then calculate based on their current market prices.

(Shoes = 40 pieces x $60) + (DVDS = 100 pieces x $18) + (Tomatoes (1000x$1 - 1/2 purchased by households) + (Ketchup 300 x $4)

= $2400+ $1,800+ $1000+ $1,200

= $6,400

Jason and Paula are married. They file a joint return for 2020 on which they report taxable income before the QBI deduction of $

mote1985 [20]

Answer: $28940

Explanation:

Their QBI deduction for the year goes thus:

Jason's QBI amount will be:

= $173000 × 20%

= $173000 × 0.2

= $34600

Paula's QBI amount will be:

= $28,300× 20%

= ($5660)

Therefore, their combined qualified business income will be:

= $34600 - $5660

= $28940

The overall limitation which is based on th modified taxable income will be:

= $247000 × 20%

= $49400

Since $28940 is lesser than $49400, their QBI deduction for the year is $28940
