Answer:

Total $1,271.0564

Explanation:

We have bond of 10 years ago, so the bond is left with 5 years of life

<u>we need to calculate the present value ofthe cuopon payment:</u>

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 50 (1,000 x 5%)

time 10 (5 years 2 payment a year)

rate 0.02 (4% annual divide by 2 to get semiannually)

50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.02)^{-10} }{0.02} = PV\\

PV $449.1293

<u>and the present value of the principal</u>

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

Maturity 1000

time 5

rate 0.04

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.04)^{5} } = PV

PV  $821.9271

<u>We add both to get the present value ofthe bond</u>

PV c $449.1293

PV m  $821.9271

Total $1,271.0564

If the fixed costs for a product decrease and the variable costs (as a percentage of sales dollars) decrease, what will be the e
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Contribution margin ratio is the difference between the selling price of the product and the variable cost of the product.

Contribution margin ratio = Selling price - Variable cost

Now, if there is a decrease in the fixed costs and variable costs of the product then as a result contribution margin ratio increases because of the fall in variable cost.

Break even point = (Fixed expense ÷ Contribution margin ratio)

If there is an increase in the contribution margin ration and a reduction in the fixed expense then as a result break even point decreases.

Increased; Decreased

Trade restrictions can vary from quotas, embargoes, standards, subsidies, tariffs and more that make it hard to trade (important/export) goods between two companies and also set prices for these. Depending on what is allowed and what is not different industries can benefit from the trade restrictions and some can be harmed by them.
