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%

Ahat [919]

Answer:

No, it is a bad idea to use only the cost of debt

Explanation:

Only using the cost of debt, is not a good idea because too much amount of borrowing could lose the confidence of the investors and it could lead to the uncertainty in the future cash flows.

Suppliers might be worried regarding the financial situation and lead to the supply disruption. Though, the debt might save the tax expenses, which could lead to the negative cash flow.

Answer:

The correct word for the blank space is:  unfreezing stage.

Explanation:

German psychologist and philosopher Kurt Lewin (<em>1890-1947</em>) proposed the organization theory of change in which a firm went through three stages in the process of changing its operation's method: <em>unfreezing, change, </em>and <em>refreeze</em>. The unfreezing is the first step of the model in which employees may be reluctant to change but it is the job of the high executives to promote the need for modification by exposing the failures of the firm's old method of work.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section.

Explanation:

If the wages of the Hispanics construction worker in America are less then, they will not have near as much money to send home to their relatives back in Mexico.

And if their families do not have as much as it use to be then they will not be able to buy near as much as they used to.

It means that if the construction workers don't get as much money as they used to then, neither they nor their families  will be able to spend as much as they use to which will obviously hurt each of their economies.

Anettt [7]

Answer:Yes, the Manager made an error.

Explanation:

Increasing the revenue of a firm depends on two factors which are price and effective demand. An increase in price without a fall in demand will increase revenue, an increase in demand without a fall in price will equally increase revenue.

However when manipulating price only in order to increase revenue care must be taken to ensure same or higher level of demand for an increase in price which lead to a fall in demand may boomerang for the firm.

E.g

Year. $ Price. Demand. Revenue$

1. 5. 100. 500

2. 6. 80. 480

The above illustrate an increase in price without a rise or maintaining the same level of demand leads fall in revenue.
