Answer:

1. Current bonds price = $81.86.

2. Yield to maturity  = 22.16%.

3. 3.  Expected Return = 7.5%.

Explanation:

Required Rate = Rf + beta*MRP

          = 5% + 0.25*(15% - 5%)

       = 5% +0.25*10%

              = 5% + 2.5% = 7.5%

 Required Rate = 7.5%

  Expected Future Value = 70% x $100 + 30% x $60

       = (0.7*$100) + (0.3*$60)

       = $(70+18) = $88

    Expected Future Value = $88

1.  Current bonds price = 88/1.075 = $81.86

2.  Yield to maturity = 100/81.86 - 1 = 1.22159785-1 = 0.22159785 =   22.159785% = 22.16%

3.  Expected Return = 7.5%

If Agatha has worked for ten years in the public relations department of a large firm. she has been promoted to several higher paying managerial positions, but never to an executive position, even though she has directed several successful projects for the firm, her lack of promotion most likely illustrates the glass ceiling. It is the barrier that keeps women and young people in achieving high positions.

If the demand for an item increases,what effect will it have an price and quantity? A) price will increase and quantity increas.
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

A) price will increase and quantity increase.

Explanation:

An increase in demand means more customers are willing and can afford to buy a product. Holding the other factors constant, an increase in demand results in many potential buyers chasing very few goods. The competition for the few goods leads to an increase in their prices. The equilibrium point moves up the graph to a new higher position as a result of an increase in demand.

As per the law of supply, quantity supplied increases as prices rise. Profit motives drive all business establishments. As prices increase due to increased demand, suppliers will be motivated to supply more to take advantage of high prices.
