Answer:

the 5 year A-rated corporate bond yields 0.3% more than the 10-year Treasury bond

Explanation:

the yield of a 10 year treasury bond = real risk free rate + average future inflation rate + (maturity premium x number of years) = 3.5% + 2.5% + (20% x 10 years) = 8%

the yield of a 5 year A-rated corporate bond = real risk free rate + average future inflation rate + liquidity premium + default risk premium + (maturity premium x number of years) = 3.5% + 2.5% + 0.5% + 0.8% + (20% x 5 years) = 8.3%

difference in yields = 8.3% - 8% = 0.3%

allsm [11]

Answer:

PV= $620,921.32

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow (Cf)= $100,000

Interest rate (i)= 7.25%

<u>First, we need to calculate the value of the investment at the moment of the first payment (five years from now). </u>To calculate the present value we need to use the following formula:

PV= Cf / i

PV= 100,000 / 0.1

PV= $1,000,000

<u>Now, the value today:</u>

PV= FV / (1 + i)^n

PV= 1,000,000 / (1.1^5)

PV= $620,921.32

Among the tax proposals regularly considered by Congress is an additional tax on distilled liquors. The tax would not apply to b
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Liquor consumers

Explanation:

Price elasticity measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. Demand is elastic if a small change in price has a great effect on quantity demanded. The coefficient of elasticity is usually greater than 1.

Demand is inelastic if changes in price has little or no impact on the quantity demanded. Coefficient of elasticity is usually less than 1.

The elasticity of demand for liquor is -0.4 while the elasticity of supply for liquor is 3.5. Therefore the demand for liquor is inelastic while the supply of liquor is elastic.

If taxes are imposed on consumers, the quantity demanded wouldn't change or change a little.

If taxes are imposed on suppliers, the quantity supplied would fall more.

Therefore , the burden of tax can be passed on more to consumers.

I hope my answer helps you.

The accounts payable does not affect stockholder equity. So, it would not be considered.

This $95,000 would increase stockholder equity.
