Answer:
C) Telecommuting
Explanation:
Telecommuting simply means working from your home. The internet changed our lives completely, and it is also how we work. Everyday more people are starting to work from distant locations to their "main office". This means that they can be working at their house using a computer which is connected to the company's intranet.
Some of the advantages of telecommuting is that it increases efficiency by decreasing costs (you don't have to spend time going to work and you can have your office at home), reducing employee churn rate, allowing older or disabled people to work, it is good for your health, and around 65% of telecommuters in the US have have increased their work efficiency vs. their normal office work.
Answer:
a. $880.74
b. 13 years
Explanation:
a. Conversion ratio = Current Value of bond / Conversion price = 1,000 / 93.4 = 10.71
Conversion price of bond = 10.71 × 28.60 = $306.31
Coupon = Par value of bond * Coupon rate = $1,000 * 6.4% = $64
Present value of straight debt is calculated below:
Present Value = $64 × [1-(1+7.4%)^-30 / 7.4%] + [$1,000 / (1+7.4%)^30]
= $64*11.93 + $117.46
= $763.28 + $117.46
= $880.74
.
Therefore, the minimum value of bond is $880.74
b. Conversion ratio = 10.71
Current stock price = $28.6
Suppose number of year the stock will take to reach above $1,140 is t.
Conversion value = Current stock price * Conversion ratio*(1+10.8%)^t
$1,140 = $28.6 * 10.71 * (1.108)^t
(1.108)^t = 3.7218
t = 12.8145 year.
t = 13 years
Answer:A) one year
Explanation: The unbiased expectations theory, also known as the expectation theory aims to estimate how much the short term interest rates will amount to in future. This is based on long term interest rates. Forward rates are used to predict the value of interests in the future based on the values calculated today. A maturity of 1 year has the lowest interest rate because it is not given enough time to grow. Interest rates tend to grow better over a longer period of time. Therefore in terms of expectation theory the longer the maturity the better the chances of interest rate growth.
Answer:
State.
Explanation:
About two-thirds of all U.S. commercial banks are chartered by the state in which they are based.The banks are called state banks.
A state bank can be defined as any bank that receives or got its charter from a state government but not the federal government of the United States of America. In the United States of America, a state bank reserves the right to either be a member of the Federal Reserve System ("The Fed") or not and as such, can only do business within the state and be regulated by the state where it is operating.
<em>Some examples of state banks in the United States of America are California Bank of Commerce, CalPrivate Bank, United Pacific Bank, Citizens Business Bank etc. </em>
