Answer:

p = 59.11 dollars

Explanation:

Given

Price:     p(x) = 8eˣ      (0 ≤ x ≤ 2)

Revenue;  R = x*p = 8xeˣ

p = ?  when R be at maximum

We can apply

dR/dx = d(x*p)/dx = 0

⇒  d(8xeˣ)/dx = 8*(1*eˣ + x*eˣ) = 0

⇒  eˣ*(1 + x) = 0    ⇒    x = - 1

as x = - 1 ∉ [0, 2]

then, we have

p(0) = 8e⁰ = 8

R = 0*8 = 0

If x = 1

p(1) = 8e¹ ≈ 21.74

R = 1*21.74 = 21.74

If x = 2

p(2) = 8e² ≈ 59.11

R = 2*59.11 = 118.22

Implies that, R(x) is maximum at x = 2.

   

Thus, the price that maximize the revenue of the company is 59.11 dollars.

Suppose that General Motors Acceptance Corporation issued a bond with 10 years until​ maturity, a face value of $ 1 comma 000​,
astraxan [27]

Answer:

$1,073.60

Explanation:

bond's current price = PV of face value + PV of coupons

maturity = 10 years

face value = $1,000

coupon rate = 7% annual

market rate = 6%

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)¹⁰ =$558.39

PV of coupons = coupon x annuity factor (10 years, 6%) = $70 x 7.3601 = $515.21

market value at issue date = $558.39 + $515.21 = $1,073.60

since the bond's coupon rate was higher than the market rate, the bond was sold at a premium.

The real risk-free rate is 3.05%, inflation is expected to be 3.60% this year, and the maturity risk premium is zero. Ignoring a
natulia [17]

Answer:

Ans. The equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury bond is 6.65% (please check the explanation)

Explanation:

Hi, well, this type of bonds exist so people can avoid the time value of money risk, in other words, to keep money save from inflation and provide a risk free return at the same time. From a part of the text I can tell that the person who wrote it wanted to add up the risk free rate and the inflation rate, that is 3.05%+3.60% =6.65%.

This is why I wrote this answer, but the truth is that since they are both effective rates (risk free rate and inflation), they need to be add as effective rates, that is:

(1+r(e))=(1+rf)*(1+Inf)

Therefore

r(e)=(1+rf)*(1+Inf)-1

r(e)=(1+0.0305)*(1+0.036)-1=0.0676

So the real equilibrium rate of return is 6.76%, but for the sake of the question, I wrote 6.65%.

Best of luck.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The answer would be FALSE

Explanation:

A performance appraisal, also referred to as a performance review, performance evaluation, development discussion, or employee appraisal is a method by which the job performance of an employee is documented and evaluated.

Performance appraisals are a part of career development and consist of regular reviews of employee performance within organizations. Annual performance reviews have been criticized as providing feedback too infrequently to be useful, and some critics argue performance reviews in general do more harm than good.

Organizations with HR strategies that emphasize developing long term relationships with highly skilled employees have been shown to be more effective.
