The correct option is A - 50%

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given data: </u>

Number of pretzels baked = 800

Time taken = 8 hours

New production = 1200 pretzels

<u>Thus, in order to calculate the productivity the following will be used: </u>

In 8 hours, number of pretzels baked = 800

SO hourly production = 100

If production is increased to 1200,

hourly production = 1200/8 = 150

So, change in productivity = (150-100) / 100 * 100 \%

= 50%

Answer:

As a result of an increase in the YTM, the price of the bond will fall $4677.19 from to $4593.67

Explanation:

The bonds are valued or priced based on the present value of annuity of interest payments and the present value of the principal. Based on the YTM of 7.8% the bonds are priced at,

coupon payment = 5000 * 0.067 *1/2  =  $167.5

Semiannual YTM = 7.8 *0.5  =  3.9%

Semi annual periods to maturity = 8 * 2  =  16 periods

Old Price = 167.5 * [( 1 - (1 + 0.039)^-16  + 5000 / (1+0.039)^16

Old Price = $4677.19

New semiannual YTM = 8.1% / 2  =  4.05%

New Price = 167.5 * [( 1 - (1+0.0405)^-16) / 0.0405] + 5000 / 1.0405^16

New Price = $4593.67

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Credit, $60,000

Explanation:

Given,

Market rate = 10%

Face value $60,000 = Principal value.

When the bonds mature, the issuer records its payment of principal with credit to cash in the amount of principal value that is $60,000 because the bondholder will pay the principal with interest.

Therefore,

Bondholder will pay the $60,000 issued amount as principal because there is an additional interest amount needs to be paid.

It is credit because it is matured on the date of cash payment.
