Answer:

The correct option is D,the markets for bonds of different maturities are separate or segmented

Explanation:

Market segmentation theory is of the view that market for short-term and long-term bonds are segmented from each other,wherein investors with different preferences investing in different markets.

Banks for instance are short-term position takers due to their preference for liquidity and would favor investing short-term instruments like the 3-month Treasury bill such that at every point in time, there is enough cash liquidity to meet customers' request for withdrawal of funds.

On the flip side, pension fund administrators take a long-term position on investment, hence would prefer the 30-year Treasury bill since their payment of retirement benefits is usually a low portion of their total contributions received from contributors to their pension funds.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$12,146

Explanation:

The computation of present value of this opportunity cost is shown below:-

Net After tax Operating Profit Per month = Rent space per month × Profit margin on the renting the space percentage

= $1,000 × 30%

= $300

Project is for 4 Years

Total months = 4 × 12

= 48 Months

Interest Rate Per month = 9% ÷ 12

= 0.75%

As per the question the Rent is Received at the start of the month

So Present Value of this opportunity cost = $300 (1 + PVAF (0.75%,47))

= $300 × ( 1 + 39.486)

= $12,145.85

= $12,146
