Answer:

Price floor non binding

Price ceiling binding

Price ceiling binding

Explanation:

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.

Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.

A. The minimum price is less than the equilibrium price, thus it is a non binding price floor

b. The maximum price is less than the equilibrium price, thus it is a binding price floor

c. Restaurants that would want to pay better wages are unable to do so. This means that there is a binding price maximum in place

An investor has two bonds in his portfolio that have a face value of $1,000 and pay a 9% annual coupon. Bond L matures in 15 yea
aksik [14]

Answer:

Price of L bond at 5 percent required rate of return = $1,415.16

Price of L bond at 7 percent required rate of return = $1,182.16

Price of L bond at 10 percent required rate of return = $923.94

The price of the long term bonds change more with a change in interest rate because the long term bonds have a greater interest rate risk as compared to the short term bonds

Explanation:

L bond has a coupon rate of 9 percent, a face value of $1,000 and matures in 15 years. The coupon payments are made on annual basis. At the time of maturity the bondholder gets the face value.

We can find the present value of the coupon payments using the present value of annuity formula and the present value of the face value to be received after fifteen years using the present value formula. Sum of the present value of annuity of coupon payments and present value of the face value should equal the fair value (price) of the bond.

If the required rate of return is 5 percent, the price of the bond can be computed as under

Price = PMT [[(1+i)^n] -1]/[ix(1+i)^n] + FV/(1+i)^n

where PMT = 1,000 x 9% = $90

n = 15 years, i = 5% and FV = $1,000

Plugging the values in the formula we get

Price = 90[{(1+0.05)^15} - 1]/ [0.05 x (1+0.05)^15] + 1,000/(1+0.05)^15

Price = 90[{(1.05)^15} - 1]/ [0.05 x (1.05)^15] + 1,000/(1.05)^15

Price = 90[2.07893 - 1]/ [0.05 x 2.07893] + 1,000/2.07893

Price = 90[1.07893]/ [0.10395] + 1,000/2.07893

Price = 934.14 + 481.02 = 1,415.16

If the required rate of return increases to 7 percent, the price is computed as under

Price = 90[{(1+0.07)^15} - 1]/ [0.07 x (1+0.07)^15] + 1,000/(1+0.07)^15

Price = 90[{(1.07)^15} - 1]/ [0.07 x (1.07)^15] + 1,000/(1.07)^15

Price = 90[2.759 - 1]/ [0.07 x 2.759] + 1,000/2.759

Price = 90[1.759]/ [0.19313] + 1,000/2.759

Price = 819.71+ 362.45 = 1,182.16

If the required rate of return increases to 10 percent, the price is computed as under

Price = 90[{(1+0.1)^15} - 1]/ [0.1 x (1+0.1)^15] + 1,000/(1+0.1)^15

Price = 90[{(1.1)^15} - 1]/ [0.1 x (1.1)^15] + 1,000/(1.1)^15

Price = 90[4.1772 - 1]/ [0.1 x 4.1772] + 1,000/4.1772

Price = 90[3.1772]/ [0.41772] + 1,000/4.1772

Price = 684.55+ 239.39 = 923.94

The price of the long term bonds change more with a change in interest rate because the long term bonds have a greater interest rate risk as compared to the short term bonds

On January 1, 2017, Whitefeather Industries issued 300, $1,000 face value bonds. The bonds have a five-year life and pay interes
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$15000

Explanation:

All types of bonds have some common characteristics which include;

- A face/par value

- A coupon rate (interest rate).

- Either redeemable/irredeemable or convertible.

The face value of one bond is $1000 so the total value of 300 bonds would be $300,000 (300×$1000). In this example these are redeemable bonds which means Whitefeather Industries would be liable to payback the capital amount of bonds after five years (maturity date).

The coupon rate (i.e interest) is charged on Par value. So the Interest can be calculated as $300,000×10% = $30,000 per year.

In this question interest is payable semi-annually, therefore The amount of interest that occurs on December 31, 2017 is $15000 (For the last six months - July 1st till Dec 31st; $30000×6÷12).
