Answer:

The bonds are guaranteed as to principal and interest payments by the US government.

Explanation:

According to NASAA's Statement of Policy on Unethical or Dishonest Business Practices of Broker-Dealers and Agents, a broker can say US government bonds are guaranteed on principal and interest payments.

However if inflation sets in and interest rates rises there is no guarantee from the government that interest paid on the bonds will match the higher interest rate.

So legally this statement is correct, even though the investor can lose money as a result of higher interest rate in the future.

Explanation:

Portfolio diversification is the process of holding different asset and security classes in order to minimise the non systemic risk of the portfolio

Correlation is a statistical measure used to measure the relationship that exists between two variables.

1. Positive correlation : it mean that the two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable also increases. It increases the risk of the portfolio

For example, there should be a positive correlation between quantity supplied and price

When there is a positive correlation, the graph of the variables is upward sloping

2. Negative correlation :  it mean that the two variables move in different direction. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases. It decreases the risk of the portfolio

For example, there should be a negative correlation between quantity demanded and price

When there is a negative correlation, the graph of the variables is downward sloping

3. Zero correlation : there is no relationship between the variables. It decreases the risk of the portfolio

Anthony Roofing's budgeted manufacturing costs for 50,000 squares of shingles are: Fixed manufacturing costs $30,000 Variable ma
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Total budgeted manufacturing cost = $824,000

Explanation:

The total budgeted manufacturing cost is the sum of the variable  and fixed manufacturing cost

The fixed manufacturing cost of $30,000 would be absorbed (i.e charged to the units produced using overhead absorption rate (OAR).

OAR = Budgeted fixed manufacturing cost / Budgeted production squares

      = $30,000 /  50,000 squares = $0.6 per square

Absorbed fixed manufacturing cost= OAR × actual production of squares

Absorbed fixed manufacturing cost=  $0.6 × 40,000 = $24,000

Variable manufacturing cost = $20.00 × 40,000 =800,000

Total budgeted manufacturing cost = $24,000  + $800,000  = $824,000

Total budgeted manufacturing cost = $824,000

Fair value of the bonds at December 31:

12/31/20X6 $ 213,200

12/31/20X7 $ 213,300

12/31/20x8 $ 212,000

<h3>Issue Price Calculations:</h3>

N (# of periods) = 20 (10 years x 2)

I/Y (Interest per year) = 5%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $6,000 ($200,000 x 6% x 1/2)

FV (Future Value) = $200,000

Results:

PV = $215,589.16

Sum of all periodic payments = $120,000 ($6,000 x 20)

Total Interest $104,410.84
