Answer:

4.62%

Explanation:

we need to calculate the yield to maturity of the bond:

YTM = [coupon + (face value - market value)/n] / [(face value + market value)/2]

  • coupon = $50
  • face value = $1,000
  • market value = $1,078
  • n = 38 semiannual payments

YTM = [$50 + ($1,000 - $1,078)/38] / [($1,000 + $1,078)/2]

YTM = $47.95 / $1,039 = 4.615 ≈ 4.62%

natulia [17]

Answer:

Break-even point (dollars)= $9,976.25

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs:

Rent $2,500

Utilities $500

Interest $750

An insurance premium of $200

Advertising on local bus $250 a month

Total= $4,200

A small bucket of take-out chicken, the only menu item, is priced at $9.50. Unit variable costs for the bucket of chicken are $5.50.

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)=  4,200/ [(9.5 - 5.5)/9.5]

Break-even point (dollars)= 4,200/0.421

Break-even point (dollars)= $9,976.25

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The amount of fees that Jill will pay this year=$248.20

Explanation:

Expense ratio is a measure of how much fees that fund management firms charge their clients for their investments services. These fees cover administrative and operational costs. In our case, the expense ratio will be expressed as the fees that Jill will pay as a portion of the total amount she invested. The expense ratio can be expressed as shown;

ER=C/A

where;

ER=expense ratio

C=total funds cost

A=total funds assets

In our case;

ER=0.17%=0.17/100=0.0017

C=unknown to be determined

A=$146,000

replacing;

C=ER×A

C=0.0017×146,000=$248.20

The amount of fees that Jill will pay this year=$248.20

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.
