Answer:

Chris paid $109.68 for his bond. Since he paid a premium for the bond, the YTM is lower than the coupon rate.

Explanation:

yield of Cheryl's bond is 6% since she purchased it at par and the bond's coupon is 6%

if Chris's bond yields 80% of Cheryl's, it will yield 6% x 0.8 = 4.8%

we can use the approximate yield to maturity formula to find the market price of Chris's bond:

2.4%(semiannual) = {3 + [(100 - MV)/20]} / [(100 + MV)/2]

0.024 x [(100 + MV)/2] = 3 + [(100 - MV)/20]

0.024 x (50 + 0.5MV) = 3 + 5 - 0.05MV

1.2 + 0.012MV = 8 - 0.05MV

0.062MV = 6.8

MV = 6.8 / 0.062 = 109.68

Jason is shopping for a new car. He completes new credit applications at four different dealerships. Will this affect his credit
trasher [3.6K]

Applying for a loan in each of the dealerships he visited will have negative consequences on his credit score.

The credit score is a term to refer to the score that people have toward the financial system. The credit score is a kind of business card for each person regarding their financial life.

One of the most common mistakes people make is when they make multiple credit applications when they intend to buy something because this is a bad practice for their credit score.

For example, if Jason completed credit applications in four different dealers, his score may drop because the entities that are going to lend him the money consider this activity as something negative.

In addition, people who apply for loans in different entities are generally forced to do so because they are denied the possibility of credit, that is, they have an unfavorable history to access a loan.

Suppose an economist tests the theory that when the price of leather increases, fewer pairs of shoes are produced. He observes m
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

b. cannot test his theory because his observations violate the ceteris paribus assumption

Explanation:

As per the law of supply, when price of an input rises, quantity supplied of a good falls, keeping other factors affecting supply as constant (ceteris paribus).

Leather and Shoes are complimentary goods in the sense that leather serves as an input for the product i.e shoes. So if the price of leather rises, production of shoes would fall, keeping other factors constant.

When the price of an input rises, the quantity supplied falls, keeping other factors affecting supply as constant.

In the given case, the price of inputs has increased and yet the production of shoes has increased owing to an advancement in the technology. Technology is a different determinant of quantity supplied and considered as an other factor affecting supply.

A chain of video stores sells three different brands of DVD players. Of its DVD player sales, 50% are brand 1 (the least expensi
slava [35]

Answer: 60.98%

Explanation:

Probability that it is a brand 1 DVD player that needs repair work = Probability of brand 1 DVD needing repairs / Probability that a DVD player will need fixing while under warranty

Probability of brand 1 DVD needing repairs = Brand 1 sales percentage * Percentage of brand 1 needed repair

= 50% * 25%

= 12.5%

Probability that a DVD player will need fixing while under warranty = (50%* 25%) + (30% * 20%) + (20% * 10%)

= 20.5%

Probability that it is a brand 1 DVD player that needs repair work = 12.5% / 20.5%

= 60.98%
