<h2>Joshua would lose and Sue would benefit from unanticipated inflation.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Both Joshua and Sue are associated with fixed pension and fixed interest respectively.
  • Now the value of money goes down due to inflation
  • So to live as usual, Joshua need to spend some extra money. But considering the fixed income, it's a lose to Joshua
  • Whereas Sue is associated with fixed interest of mortgage. She is benefited because, though the inflation has changed the value of all other products, but the fixed interest rate does not change.
  • "Fixed-rate mortgage holders are inflation winners", says "Thoma, professor of economics at the University of Oregon"

Consider three bonds with 5.50% coupon rates, all making annual coupon payments and all selling at face value. The short-term bo
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

a. $965.74

b. $939.11

Explanation:

In this question we use the Present value formula i.e shown in the attachment below:

1. Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 6.5%

NPER = 4 years

PMT = $1,000 × 5.5% = $55

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the price would be $965.74

2. Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 6.5%

NPER = 8 years

PMT = $1,000 × 5.5% = $55

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the price would be $939.11

An account of an event created by someone who took part in or witnessed the event
castortr0y [4]
I think the correct answer would be primary source. It is an account of an event created by someone who took part in or witnessed the event. It is also known as original source.  It is any document, manuscript, diary, autobiography, artifact, recording or any source that was made at the time being studied. Examples are interviews, archives, photographs, letters, films and scrapbooks. When the data from these primary sources are obtained from other source wherein they are being analyzed and interpreted then these sources will be called as a secondary source. Examples are articles, books, magazines, surveys, internet resources.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

overhead rate: 17.5

Explanation:

The difference between applied an actual overhead is calculated as follows:

actual hours x overhead rate - actual cost = over or underapplied overhead

underapplied means actual were higher than applied

while, overapplied means the actual cost were lower.

Based on this information we can set up the foermula as follows:

overhead rate x 32,000 -540,000 =  20,000

now we solve for the rate:

rate = (20,000 + 540,000) / 32,000 = 17.5
