Answer: Price of pumpkins will fall compared to last year.
Explanation: Favorable weather leading to a larger crop than usual means that there is more supply of pumpkins this year than before. Shifting the supply curve down to the right. At the same time, when people switch away from jack-o'-lanterns towards buying more costumes, it leads to a decline in the demand for pumpkins shifting the demand curve to the left.
The net result will be a decline in the demand for fall in the price of pumpkin. However, the effect on the quantity cannot be determined as it depends on the magnitude of shift in the two curves.
Answer:
Multiple choices below are missing:
A) purchase Bond A
B) purchase Bond B
C) purchase neither A nor B at this time
D) negotiate a higher rate on Bond A
The correct option is A,purchase bond A.
Explanation:
By purchasing Bond A,Lee is assured interest payment of 7.5% for a period of twenty years,hence the issuer cannot call the bond if interest rate drops by 2% in order to issue a lower interest-bearing bond which would be cheaper cost-wise.
However, if Lee purchases Bond B with current coupon of 8.25%,the interest is only guaranteed for a period of two years,since the issuer has the prerogative of calling back the bond after two years should interest fall in order to issue another bond that commands lower interest rate.
