Answer:
A. Cost of funds has changed
B. Firm's risk has changed
Explanation:
The required rate of return on bonds refers to an investor's expected rate of return which is based upon rate of return other investors earn in the market on similarly priced bonds. This is also referred to as yield to maturity i.e YTM.
Coupon rate of payment of bond is the interest payment on such bonds which is usually fixed at the time of issue of such bonds.
Required rate of return may differ on account of change in cost of funds to the issuer which is cost of debt denoted as 
. Cost of debt is determined by tax rate and net proceeds from the issue of such bonds.
Required rate of return may also change on account of change in the firm's risk. If the firm assumes more risk, such risk would deter investors from investing in such bonds and in such scenario, the firm has to offer higher coupon rate than the rate prevailing in the market to attract the investors.
Answer:
This question is incomplete, the options are missing. The options are the following:
a) Exhibitive.
b) Transit.
c) Direct mail.
d) Outdoor.
e) Print.
And the correct answer is the option A: Exhibitive.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term known as <em>"Exhibitive Media"</em>, in the field of marketing and business, refers to the strategy used by the companies whose approach is in the point of sale marketing. This type of strategy focus on exhibiting the product to the costumer the closer as possible so it will generate an impulse on the client of buying the product without having it thought before seeing the product. A very common example of this strategy is the situation in where the supermarkets fill their lines to the cashier with other retails that have product that are attractive at first sight.
Answer: (E) none of the other choices
Explanation:
None of the options are correct in the above question.
The USA extends Most Favoured Nation Status to most countries in the world including Germany so that would not be a reason for the car's not to pass through customs.
The cars could indeed be a threat to national security. Just because they come from a safe country does not mean that they were not tampered with. They need to be properly inspected.
They are indeed a source of competition for US automakers but that would be no reason to stop them. Perhaps tariffs could be applied on them but they will not be stopped.
There is no provision in US Customs practices that prohibits the importation of used cars solely because they are used cars therefore it will not be a reason to halt the car's going through customs.
None of the options are therefore correct.
Answer:
a. It will take her 5 years to pay for her wardrobe
b. She should shop for a new card once she is done paying for this one.
c. She should shop for a new card after finishing paying for this card since going further into debt with the current card would be a bad idea. This is due to the fact that an annual interest rate of 16% is very high. The best option would therefor to finish her payments on the credit card, then shop for a new card with a lower annual interest rate.
Explanation:
Use the formula below to determine the number of months it would take Rachel to pay off her debt;
C *{1-(1+r)^(-n×t)}/(r/n)=PV
where;
C=annuity
r=annual interest rate
n=number of compounding periods in a year
t=number of years
PV=present value
In our case;
PV=$10,574
C=$260
r=16%=16/100=0.16
n=12
t=unknown
replacing;
260*{1-(1+0.16/12)^(-12×t)}/(0.16/12)=10,574
1-(1+0.16/12)^(-12×t)={10,574×(0.16/12)}/260
1-{1.013^(-12 t)}=0.542
(1-0.542)=1.013^(-12 t)
ln 0.458=-12 t (ln 1.013)
t=-ln 0.458/12×ln 1.013
t=5
It will take her 5 years to pay for her wardrobe
b. She should shop for a new card once she is done paying for this one.
c. She should shop for a new card after finishing paying for this card since going further into debt with the current card would be a bad idea. This is due to the fact that an annual interest rate of 16% is very high. The best option would therefor to finish her payments on the credit card, then shop for a new card with a lower annual interest rate.
Answer:
You get the highest net income in year 2 with <u>Units-of-production method.</u>
Explanation:
Schedule of depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value per year for the equipment under the three depreciation methods is attached.
<u>Straight-line
</u>
Depreciation expense 2nd year=$5.000=(Original Value -Residual Value)/Useful life
<u>Units-of-production
</u>
Units of Production Rate=2.5=(Original Value -Residual Value)/estimated productive life
Depreciation expense 2nd year= 7250
<u>
Double-declining-balance.
</u>
Depreciation rate 20,00% 1/useful life *100
Depreciation expense 2nd year= 6720
