Suppose that Manuel, an economist from a university in Arizona, and Poornima, an economist from a nonprofit organization on the

West Coast, are arguing over saving incentives. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Poornima: I think it’s safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today’s economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain the improvement of living standards.
Manuel: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards.
Poornima: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference? Because I don’t.

A bond has a face value of $1,000, a coupon of 4% paid annually, a maturity of 30 years, and a yield to maturity of 7%. What rat
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

-11.8%

Explanation:

the key to answer this question is to remember that valuation of a bond depends basically of calculating the present value of a series of cash flows, so let´s think about a bond as if you were a lender so you will get interest by the money you lend (coupon) and at the end of n years you will get back the money you lend at the beginnin (principal), so applying math we have the bond value given by:

price=\frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{1} }+ \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{2} } \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{3} }+...+\frac{principal+principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{n} }

so in this particular case that one year later there are 29 years to maturity so we have:

price=\frac{1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{1} }+ \frac{1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{2} } \frac{1000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{3} }+...+\frac{1,000+1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{30} }

price=553.6638

so as we have a higher rate the investment has the next return:

return=\frac{553.66}{627.73} -1

return=-11.8\%

klio [65]

Answer:

10.0 years

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is shown below

We know that

Payback period = initial cost ÷ increase in net income

= $30,000 ÷ $3,000

= 10 years

As the depreciation expense is a non-cash expense so we dont considered it

Therefore the first option is correct

What is a disadvantage of government bonds?
hjlf
None of those answers are suitable to me.

Government bonds are generally regarded as low-risk and they typically have modest (low) interest rates for return on investment, and these are advantages really. So we can discount answer A, C, and D.

I guess you could say that bonds can be hard to find (Answer B) but this not really true. There is always a bond market to trade bonds on. It requires setting up a trading account or speaking to a broker so this can be more difficult than putting money in a bank account, but to be honest I don't think any of those answers are appropriate for the question.

One of the great benefits of trade is
Tanzania [10]

I believe the answer is: B.That it makes it possible for society to become better off by increasing both its production and its consumption.

Without trades, in order to fulfill all needs of the people, a country need to separate their time and resources to produce each of the needed products. With trades, a country could increase the production of the products in which they have a natural advantage at, and trade the products with other countries in case we need different product that we do not produce here.
