The price of the bond is closest  $101.36

The future cash flows comprise of the yearly coupon interest of $5.5(5.5% *$100) for 3 years as well as the repayment of the principal $100 at the end of year 3.

To bring the cash inflows today's term, we multiply them  them by the discounting factor 1/(1+r)^N , where is the yield to maturity of 5% and N is the relevant the cash flow is received.

The discounting is done in attached spreadsheet leading $ 101.36  present value today.

Marginal revenue can become negative for A. both competitive and monopoly firms. B. monopoly firms but not for competitive firms
Lena [83]

Answer:

B. monopoly firms but not for competitive firms.

Explanation:

Marginal revenue can become negative for monopoly firms but not for competitive firms.

A monopolist’s marginal revenue is always less than or equal to the price  of the good.

Marginal revenue is the amount of revenue the firm receives for  each additional unit of output. It is the difference between total revenue – price  times quantity – at the new level of output and total revenue at the previous  output (one unit less).

Since the monopolist’s marginal cost curve lies below its demand curve.  When a monopoly increases amount sold, it has two effects on total revenue:

– the output effect: More output is sold, so Q is higher.

– the price effect: To sell more, the price must decrease, so P is lower.

For a competitive firm there is no price effect. The competitive firm can sell  all it wants at the given price.

So the marginal revenue on a monopolist's additional unit sold is lower than the price, <u>because it gets less revenue for selling additional units.</u>

<u>Marginal revenue can become negative – that is, the total revenue decreases from one output level to the next. </u>

Markland First National Bank of Rolla utilizes Kanban techniques in its check processing facility. The fol-lowing information is
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

the current daily demand of the check processing facility is 8000 units, and a 16 containers is required.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that,

(A) The calculation of delay demand is as follows:

K = (<u>+_</u>) (<u>1 +)</u> C

K = is the number of containers

d = the average delay demand

w = the waiting time per average per unit

p = the average processing time per unit

C = Container quantity

α = safe guard policy variable

Now,

The average processing  time = 2/24 * 60 =0.0167

The average waiting time is = 2/24 =0.083

The required number of container  = 20 = (0.083 + 0.0167 ) (1 + 0.25) /50

which is

20 * 50 = (0.1) (1.25)

Thus,

1000 / 0.125 = 8000

Now,

The average daily demand is 8000

The next step is to find out how many containers would be needed.

Now,

If there is no waste, it is = 0

The required  number of containers will be =

K = 8000 ( 0.083 + 0.0167) ( 1 + 0 )/ 50

= 8000/5= 16 Containers

Answer:

Allocative efficiency is about distributing or allocating resources in the best possible manner. E.g. in order to fight the current pandemic, more resources ($) is allocated to different health care institutions.

Productive efficiency is about how a company or a person uses the resources that it has in order to produce the greatest amount of benefits at the lowest possible cost. E.g. in a hospital, if a doctor is able to treat 15 patients per day, his/her productive efficiency will be higher than another doctor that only treats 10 patients per day.
