Answer:

5.36%

Explanation:

We would need to calculate the yield to maturity of the current bonds:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

  • coupon = $1,000 x 6% x 1/2 = $30
  • face value = $1,000
  • market value = $1,083
  • n = 20 x 2 = 40

YTM = {$30 + [($1,000 - $1,083)/40]} / [($1,000 + $1,083)/2] = $27.925 / $1,041.50 = 0.026812 x 2 = 0.05362 = 5.36%

Since the bond's coupon rate is higher than the market rate, the bonds are sold at a premium. In order to sell bonds at the par value, you must lower the coupon rate.

dusya [7]

Answer:

C) 6 pounds of pork and 8 pounds of tomatoes

Explanation:

Explanation:

            Labor hours to make 1 lb. of:          lbs. produced in 24 hours

                 Pork                  Tomatoes              Pork            Tomatoes

Farmer         6                            3                       4                       8

Rancher       4                            4                       6                       6

If both decide to specialize in producing only one good, the farmer will produce 8 pounds of tomatoes per day and the rancher will produce 6 pounds of pork per day.

This way when the rancher trades 4 pounds of pork in exchange for 6 pounds of tomatoes, he is gaining 2 pounds of pork which is equivalent to 8 labor hours.

When the rancher trades 6 pounds of tomatoes in exchange for 4 pounds of pork, he is gaining 2 pounds of tomatoes which is equivalent to 6 labor hours.
