Answer:

A) 5.22 percent

Explanation:

The Pretax cost of debt is the Yield to maturity (YTM) of bond.

Using a financial calculator , you can solve for the YTM with the following inputs;

Face value ; FV = 1000

Maturity of bond; N = 15

Annual coupon payment; PMT = coupon rate * Face value =  6%*1000 = 60

Current price; PV = $1,080

then compute annual interest rate; CPT I/Y = 5.22%

Suppose a bond with a 10% coupon rate and annual coupons, has a face value of $1,000, 5 years to maturity and is selling for $1,
Taya2010 [7]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

1. the Yield to maturity

FV = 1,000

PMT = FV multiply with Coupon rate , PMT = 1,000 multiply with 0.1 = 100

N = 5 , PV = -1,197.93

CPT I/Y

I/Y = 5.380166647

Therefore, the Yield to maturity = 5.380166647%

Where: FV – fair value, PV – Present value

2. Current yield = Coupon payment divided by Price

Current yield = 100 divided by 1,197.93

By solving we get,

Current yield = 0.08347733173

Therefore, the Current yield = 8.347733173%

If the actual output of a piece of equipment during an hour is 500 units and its best operating level is at a rate of 400 units
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

d. 1.25

Explanation:

In a business context, the capacity utilization rate is a value that allows the company know how well they are performing compared to what the recorded optimal levels are. In order to calculate this value we simply divide the current operating level for a specific time-period by the optimal level of that same time period, which in this case would be 1 hour. Therefore, in this case we would divide 500 by 400 which would give us 1.25.

If real GDP is $500 billion, full employment GDP is $300 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.9, then Congress s
melomori [17]

Answer:

tax increased = $22.22 billion

so correct option is 3. increase taxes by $22.22 billion.

Explanation:

given data

real GDP = $500 billion

employment GDP = $300 billion

marginal propensity = 0.9

solution

we know here that Inflationary gap will be

Inflationary gap = Real GDP - Full-employment GDP

Inflationary gap = $(500 - 300) billion

Inflationary gap = $200 billion

and tax Multiplier is

Tax Multiplier  = \frac{- marginal propensity}{1 - 0.9}

Tax Multiplier  = -9

here negative sign means that decrease real GDP by $9

so tax should be increased by $1

so we can say that decrease real GDP by $200 billion

and  tax should be increased = \frac{200 billion}{9}  

tax increased = $22.22 billion

so correct option is 3. increase taxes by $22.22 billion.
