Answer:

824.28

Explanation:

Market price of a bond is the total sum of discounted coupon cashflow and par value at maturity. This is a 4-year bond with semi-annual payment so there will be 8 coupon payment in total. Let formulate the bond price as below:

Bond price = [(Coupon rate/2) x Par]/(1 + Required return/2) + [(Coupon rate/2) x Par]/(1 + Required return/2)^2 + ... + [(Coupon rate/2) x Par + Par]/(1 + Required return/2)^8

Putting all the number together, we have

Bond price = [(4.5%) x 1000]/(1 + 7.5%) + [(4.5%) x 1000]/(1 + 7.5%)^2 + ... + [(4.5%) x 1000 + 1000]/(1 + 7.5%)^8

                  = 824.28

Which of the following situation would make transaction costs too high to negotiate and therefore the Coase Theorem would not ap
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

d. Many firms are working together to eliminate pollution

Explanation:

Coase theorem is a private solution for the two parties who agree to reduce externalities, i.e., pollution. They negotiate in such a manner that the costs are low as one party takes over other party's polluted assets to reduce pollution. When there are more parties or firms involved to eliminate pollution, it will pose high transaction costs. Therefore, the Coase theorem will not work in that case. So, the option "D" is the correct choice.
