lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

-$1,500 more expensive

Explanation:

Calculation for How much cheaper or more expensive would it be to use the stainless-steel pump rather than a new brass pump

Using this formula

Cheaper or more expensive=Brass pump value-( Current pump value+Pump reconfigure extra amount spent)

Let plug in the formula

Cheaper or more expensive =$6,000-($7,000+$500)

Cheaper or more expensive =$6,000-$7,500

Cheaper or more expensive =-$1,500 more expensive

A two-year bond with par value $1,000 making annual coupon payments of $99 is priced at $1,000.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

(a) 9.9%

(b)  10.09%

The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Coupon payment

=  $99

Price

=  $1,000

(a)

The Yield to maturity (YTM) will be:

= \frac{C+\frac{F-P}{n} }{\frac{F+P}{2} }

where,

C = Coupon payment

P = Price

n = years to maturity

F = Face value

On putting the estimated values is the above formula, we get

⇒  99+\frac{0}{1000}

⇒  .099

⇒  9.9%

(b)

Although the 1st year coupon was indeed reinvested outside an interest rate of r%, cumulative money raised will indeed be made at the end of 2nd year.  

= [99\times (1 + r)] + 1,099

Came to the realization compound YTM is therefore a function of r, as is shown throughout the table below:

Rate (r)             Total proceeds         Realized YTM ((\frac{proceeds}{1000} )^{.5} - 1)

7.9%                      1205.8                                   9.8%

9.9%                             1207.8                                   9.9%

11.9%                      1209.8                                  9.99%

Now,

Overall proceeds realized YTM:

= \frac{proceeds}{1000} -18 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2081208}{1000} - 1

= 0.0991

= 9.91 \ percent \ 10 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2101210}{1000}- 1

= 0.1000

= 10.00 \ percent \ 12 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2121212}{1000}-1

= 0.1009

= 10.09%

Luda [366]

Answer: Production Method

Explanation: Gross domestic product, also known as GDP, calculates the total value of products and sevices that are produced in an economy. This in turn measures the total income of a country.

The method that applies in this scenario is the production method. This method focuses on goods, by looking at its final value after deducting the input costs, also known as intermediate goods. Input costs (or intermediate goods) are the cost of materials that were used to make the final product, i.e. the production costs. Once the input costs are deducted from the total value of the goods , what remains becomes the actual income of the goods, the final cost, which is then added to GDP.
