Answer:
4.95%
Explanation:
For computing the yield to maturity when expressed in real terms, first we have to find out the yield to maturity by applying the RATE formula that is shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $989.40
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 7% ÷ 2 = $35
NPER = 10 years × 2 = 20 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this, the yield to maturity is 7.15%
Now in real terms, it would be
= 7.15% - 2.2%
= 4.95%

Options C and E
Only Nick and Jake are optimising over his choice of fruit?
Explanation:
The marginal utility obtained from the purchase of a product is the amount of satisfaction derived from purchasing an additional unit of the product.
The utility is maximised when the satisfaction in terms of marginal utilities obtained from each product is equal to each other.
We obtain this simply by dividing the marginal utilities for each fruit by their price, and comparing them.
Dmitiri:
Apples: 8/1 =8
Pears: 10/2 =5
8/1 is not equals to 10/2
Frances:
Apples: 7/1 =7
Pears: 16/2 =8
7 is not equals to 8
Jake:
Apples: 6/1 =6
Pears: 12/2 =6
The marginal utility is equal hence Jake's choice is optimal
Latasha:
Apples: 5/1 =9
Pears: 9/2 =4.5
9 is not equals to 4.5
Nick:
Apples: 4/1 =4
Pears: 8/2 =4
The marginal utility is equal hence Nick's choice is optimal
Answer - A (7 years)
WORKINGS
To calculate how long it would take for the new refrigerator to pay for
itself in lower utility costs, the cost of new refrigerator will be divided by lower utility cost per
year
Cost of new refrigerator = $598
TO CALCULATE LOWER UTILITY COST PER YEAR
At a cost of only 12 cents per day
Annual cost will be 12 X 365 = 4380 Cents ($43.8)
Cost saved annually = Cost of old refrigerator – Cost of new
refrigerator.
Lower utility cost per year = $132 – $43.8
Lower utility cost per year = $88.2
How long would it take for the new refrigerator to pay for
itself in lower utility costs?
$598 ÷ $88.2
= 6.78 years
Approximately 7 years

<span>Low-cost price leaders normally employ such strategies as price-matching to direct more sales to them and away from rivals. This is the used by Wal-Mart as it redirects sales to it self from rivals like Aldi, best -buy and other retailer. Amazon employs this strategy as well by asking customers to report lower prices online.</span>
