In the study of geomorphology, why do we primarily concentrate on processes rather than on distribution patterns by latitude?
4vir4ik [10]
In the study of geomorphology, processes like weathering and erosion are key to how the rocks will be sculpted by natural forces to produce interesting landforms like buttes and mesas for example. The distribution of geomorphological features like say the Amazon River by latitude is important but the process that shaped the landforms is more important as to how it got its present configuration.

True or False: Suppose a firm's CFO thinks that an externality is present in a project, but that it cannot be quantified with an
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Suppose a firm's CFO thinks that an externality is present in a project, but that it cannot be quantified with any precision ¾ estimates of its effect would really just be guesses. In this case, the externality should be ignored ¾ i.e., not considered at all ¾ because if it were considered it would make the analysis appear more precise than it really is. This is a false statement.

You purchased an annual interest coupon bond one year ago that had six years remaining to maturity at that time. The coupon inte
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "8%".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Number of years of maturity = 5 years

Interest rate of coupon = 10%

                           = 10%×1000

                           = 100

Yield to maturity, YTM = 8%

As we know,

Price of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Per Value

On putting the values in the above formula, we get

⇒                     = \frac{100\times (1-(1+8 \ percent^{-5}))}{8 \ percent} +\frac{1000}{1+8 \ percent^{5}}

⇒                     = 1079.85

After 1 years, we get

Price of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Per Value

On putting the values in the above formula, we get

⇒                     = \frac{100\times (1-(1+8 \ percent^{-4}))}{8 \ percent} +\frac{1000}{1+8 \ percent^{4}}

⇒                     = 1066.24

Now,

The total return rate = \frac{(1066.24-1079.85+100)}{1079.85}

                                   = \frac{86.39}{1079.85}

                                   = 8 \ percent
