Business

Veseljchak [2.6K]2 years ago

Answer:

Correct option is (c)

Explanation:

Market interest rate and price of the bond are inversely related.if market interest rate falls and is lesser than stated interest rate (coupon rate), then the bond becomes attractive and its price increases. So, bond can be solved at present higher than the maturity value. This is the reason bond is redeemed before maturity.

On the other hand, if market rate increases, bond becomes less attractive as investors can earn more by investing at market interest rate. So price of bond falls and there is no point redeeming it before maturity.

The consumer price index (CPI) can be used to measure inflation. There are potential problems with this process though that can
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

a. Overstates Inflation.

In the case of Mary and Bob, the CPI would have already increased but in this case the price of the minivan increased as well. This will overstate inflation because it will not measure the general rise in price alone (inflation), it will also measure the rise in price as a result of the new minivan having better features.

b. Understated Inflation

Donna's case represents an understated inflation because the quantity shrank yet the price stayed the same. This means that the price is now buying less quantity than it used to which is inflation because more dollars are now required to buy the previous amount. This was not however recorded as there was no change in price.

c. Overstates Inflation

In the case of Zach, the inflation will be overstated because Zach is no longer buying bagels and is now buying muffins so continuing to use bagels as a representative good in the basket of goods used to calculate CPI would be overstating it.

d. Accurate representation of Inflation

In Chris's case, the increase in the price of the same shoe over the years has been because of a general rise in prices and not because it is a different model. It is the same shoe and its price is rising generally so this is an accurate depiction of inflation.

Digital Enterprise, Inc., promises to pay its employees a year-end bonus "if profits continue to be high and management agrees a
barxatty [35]

Answer:

D) An illusory promise

Explanation:

An illusory promise is not enforceable. Illusory promises are simply illusions that seem or appear to a contract, but are not.

In this case, there is no consideration at all, therefore none of the parties is bound by a contract. It would be different if the company promised to pay a bonus if its profits are xx%. How can someone determine what is considered high profits, and how can you be sure that management will agree?

It is basically like telling someone else that you will give them something if you are happy and willing to do it. How can someone determine if you are happy or not, and how can someone know if you are willing to do it or not?
