Answer and Explanation:

When there is price fixing between two competitors, if one competitor chooses to fix the price it should not exceed competutors marginal cost and should be above his marginal cost.

Since the price fixing of $10 will be fined then the ideal price to maximize the profit would be below the competitors price $ and above his marginal cost $.

The ideak price to maximize profits would be (competitors price $ + his marginal cost $)/2, This price would be above his marginal cost and below competitors price.

Aliun [14]

The inventory has to be recorded separately to each item and this will generally result in the lowest inventory amount.

<u>Explanation:</u>

LCM- the Lower of Cost which is also called as Market rule is the theory for valuating the inventory in accounting. According to the LCM rule, in a business the cost of inventory must be recorded at lower cost (it can be either the current market price or the original cost)

Reason for recording at lower cost:

Aggregating the items results in the incorporation of some items at amounts greater than LCM.

Example:

If product X (cost = 2 dollars, market = 1 dollar) and product Y (cost = 3 dollars, market = 4 dollars) are aggregated for LCM, the inventory measurement will be 5 dollars. If the rule is applied separately to both the products, the LCM measurement will be 4 dollars.

algol [13]

Answer:

824.28

Explanation:

Market price of a bond is the total sum of discounted coupon cashflow and par value at maturity. This is a 4-year bond with semi-annual payment so there will be 8 coupon payment in total. Let formulate the bond price as below:

Bond price = [(Coupon rate/2) x Par]/(1 + Required return/2) + [(Coupon rate/2) x Par]/(1 + Required return/2)^2 + ... + [(Coupon rate/2) x Par + Par]/(1 + Required return/2)^8

Putting all the number together, we have

Bond price = [(4.5%) x 1000]/(1 + 7.5%) + [(4.5%) x 1000]/(1 + 7.5%)^2 + ... + [(4.5%) x 1000 + 1000]/(1 + 7.5%)^8

                  = 824.28
