Answer:
6.383%
Explanation:
Calculation for the What is the yield to maturity
Using this formula
YTM=n√Face value/Bond price -1
Where,
n=one-year
Face value=10,000
Bond price=9,400
Let plug in the formula
YTM=1√10,000/9,400−1
YTM=1.06383-1
YTM=0.06383*100
YTM=6.383%
Therefore the yield to maturity will be 6.383%
Answer:
B. In the winter, when water use is low, precipitation exceeds evapotranspiration
Explanation:
A water budget can be seen as the relationship between the inflow and outflow of water through a specified region. It gives a general Idea of the relationship between the demand and supply of water in that region.
Evapotransipration is the loss of water from the soil through evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants, while precipitation refers to rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.
During winters due to the cold temperatures, the rate of water loss from the soil and from plants is much lower than the amount of precipitation which is on form of snow.
Snow covers most of the soil, freezing the soil water at the surface of the soil, making it difficult for evapotranspiration to occur. In addition to that, most deciduous trees shed their leaves during this period further reducing the total amount of transpiration in that region.
This makes option B correct
Answer:
Cost of hedging = $24,000
Explanation:
cost of hedging = 1,200,000 * ($0.80 - $0.82) = 1,200,000 * $0.02 = -$24,000
Since the actual forward rate was higher than th eexpected forward rte, the coampny lost money by hedging the operation. The cost of hedging the operation was $24,000.
