Answer:

The interest rate for this bond is 8% per annum.

Explanation:

Given that,

a bond that costs $1,000 and pays an $80 interest each year.

To find the rate of interest, we use the following formula is

I=Prt

Here P = principal= $1,000

I=interest= $80

t=time= 1 year

∴80 = 1000×r×1

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{80}{1000}$

⇒r = 0.080

⇒r= 8%

The yield for this bond is 8% per annum.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

It is more profitable to sell the units as-is.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of units= 12,600

Varto has two alternatives for these items:

(1) they can be sold to a wholesaler for $13 each

(2) they can be processed further for $272,300 and then sold for $34 each.

The first cost of $31 is a sunk cost, it will remain no matter which option is chosen. We will not take it into account for the decision making process.

Option 1:

Effect on income= 12,600*13= $163,800

Option 2:

Effect on income= 12,600*34 - 272,300= $156,100

It is more profitable to sell the units as-is.
