sertanlavr [38]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answers are letters "A" and "D": More acceptance of the final decision is likely; More information and knowledge are available.

Explanation:

By making decisions in groups, all the members have an opportunity to share their ideas on what and how things should be done. Group decision-making will allow <em>obtaining as much information and knowledge</em> a group can provide. Besides, as the eventual decision will be the result of the mixture of the different ideas proposed, it is more likely than <em>most members of the group will accept the course the group will take</em>.

Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 6.2 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 yea
iragen [17]

Answer:

a-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = -8.07%

a-2. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = -21.12%

b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = 8.94%

b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = 30.77%

c. See the attached excel file for the graph.

d. It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.

Explanation:

The price of each bond can be calculated using the following excel function:

Bond price = -PV(YTM, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)

Where;

a-1. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill?

YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = -PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = $919.29

Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($919.29 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -8.07%

a-2. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted?

YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = -PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = $788.81

Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($788.81 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -21.12%

b-1. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill be then?

YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = -PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = $1,089.36

Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($1,089.36 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 8.94%

b-2. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted be then?

rate = new YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = -PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = $1,307.73

Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($1,307.73 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 30.77%

c. Illustrate your answers by graphing bond prices versus YTM.

Note: See the attached excel file for the graph.

d. What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?

It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.

Arundel Company uses aging to estimate uncollectibles. At the end of the fiscal year, December 31, 2018, Accounts Receivable has
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

After the adjusting entry is made, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is a credit balance of $22,290

Explanation:

Arundel Company uses aging to estimate uncollectibles.

Estimated uncollectibles = $250,000 x ( 1 - 99.5%) + $70,000 x (1 - 91%) + $30,000 x (1 - 73%) + $8,000 x (1 - 17%) = $1250 + $6,300 + $8,100 + $6,640 = $22,290

The current unadjusted Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts balance is a debit balance of $2,000.

Bad debt Expense = $22,290 + $2,000 = $24,290

The adjusting entry:

Debit Bad debt Expense $24,290

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $24,290

After the adjusting entry is made, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is a credit balance of $22,290

Economic problem you face as an individual​
Stells [14]

Answer:

I'm spending WAY too much money on my favorite snack which are purple Doritos. / The Dorito company is having a huge shortage of my favorite snack which are the purple Doritos and I don't know what to do!

Explanation:

Remember what economics is when you are asked this question. Economics basically are along the lines of distribution and consumption of goods could mean internationally or it could just mean in your state. If you have a favorite snack that you like to buy from stores whenever you go to them, you buying and taking that snack is basic economics, you have a demand for that product because you like it so much, and they (owners of the snack) have a supply of that demand so you then spend money (currency) in order to get that demand or snack which is basic economics. A problem in this scenario would be you spending too much money on your favorite snack, or the supplier of that snack is having a shortage and you can't buy your favorite snack as much as you want.

Hope this helps.

In 1970 Professor Fellswoop earned $12,000; in 1980 he earned $24,000; and in 1990 he earned $36,000. If the CPI was 40 in 1970,
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

In 1980

Explanation:

Year        Salary        Percentage Salary Increase        CPI Increase

1970       $12,000     -                                                      -

1980       $24,000    100                                                 50

1990       $36,000    50                                                   83.3

As can be seen in the table, the Professor's salary increase from 1970 to 1980 was twice as much as the CPI increase during the same period.

On the contrary, his salary increase from 1980 to 1990 was significantly less than the CPI increase during the same period.

Therefore, the professor's salary was highest in 1980.
