Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of price (expressed as a percentage of the face​ value) is shown below:-

Price = Face value ÷ (1 + Yield to maturity)^Number of the compounding period

= $1,000 ÷ (1 + 0.0323)^1

= $1,000 ÷ 1.0323

= $968.71

Price expected as a percentage to a face value = Price ÷ Face value × 100

= $968.71 ÷ $1,000 × 100

= 96.87%

b. The computation of credit spread of AAA-rated corporate​ bonds is shown below:-

Credit spread = Yield of AAA-rated corporate bond - Yield of treasury bond

= 3.23% - 3.15%

= 0.08%

c. The computation of credit spread on B-rated corporate bonds is shown below:-

Credit spread = Yield of B-rated corporate bond - Yeld of treasury bond

= 4.94% - 3.15%

= 1.79%

d. The credit rating for a bond changes with its respective credit risk change. That implies the bond 's rating would be lower the lower risk, and likewise.  

The investor is demanding higher returns on risky bonds for additional risk-taking. Hence the credit spread is widening as the rating of bonds falls with an increase in the risk.

Orlov [11]

While network evening newscasts have stayed fairly constant throughout the years, the news programs that Americans watch on local television stations and national cable channels have altered substantially in recent years.

<h3>What change has been noticed?</h3>

Local television newscasts have recently emphasized traffic, weather, and sports, even more, aired less edited package stories, and cut the lengths of stories—trends that might be a result of the industry's current economic challenges.

There is a growing fear that local TV news may be suffering some of the financial difficulties that have already hammered the newspaper sector as younger people are tuning out local newscasts.

The Environmental Protection Agency is considering an order that a 500-acre area on the outskirts of a large city be preserved i
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The 500-acre area is scarce because it has alternative uses: preservation in its natural state or a site for homes. A choice must be made between these uses. The opportunity cost of preserving the land in its natural state is the forgone value of the land as a housing development.
