Explanation:

The coupon rate is that amount of bond which is calculated on the principal amount whereas yield to maturity is that rate which is held till maturity date and generate the investment till the maturity date.

The relationship between the interest rate and the bond value is inverse. It means when the bond value is decrease than the interest is increase and vice versa. So it increases the yield to maturity and decreases the coupon rate

Answer:

2017 = $2,598 and 2018 = $10,390

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for the second year is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($80,010 - $7,280) ÷ (7 years)

= ($72,730) ÷ (7 years)

= $10,390

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

For 2017, the depreciation expense would be

= $10,390 × 3 months ÷ 12 months

= $2,598

The three months is calculated from the October 1, 2017, to December 31, 2017

And, in 2018 it would be $10,390

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

$1,490,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Direct Material used = $795,000

Wages to Line workers = $270,000

Indirect Materials used = $425,000

Total product cost for the year:

Direct Material used + Wages to Line workers + Indirect Materials used

= $795,000 + $270,000 + $425,000

= $1,490,000

Therefore, the total product costs for the year is $1,490,000.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

1. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : FALSE

2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : TRUE

3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : TRUE

4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : FALSE

Explanation:

Question has been attached here

Unemployment is the term used to define those who are willing and are actively seeking work but cannot find any. A minimum wage is a price control, in the form of a price floor imposed by government legislation in order to protect laborers from low wages. Paying anything below the minimum wage is against the law.

1. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : FALSE

A minimum wage is binding only if it is set above the equilibrium price. In this scenario, the equilibrium price is at $12. Hence, $9 is not binding since a shortage of labor would gradually raise the price to the equilibrium.

2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : TRUE

When there is a shortage in the market, it means that the quantity supplied is higher than the quantity demanded. With any particular commodity such as bread or rice, a shortage creates a rise in price. Just as that, a shortage of workers creates an upward pressure on the price (wage). Since there are no price ceilings, market will reach equilibrium.

3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : TRUE

As shown in the diagram, the market equilibrium is $12. If the minimum wage was $12.50, there would be a surplus of labor (quantity supplied is higher than quantity demanded). Naturally, this may cause a downward pressure on wages until it reaches $12. However, when a minimum wage is imposed at $12.50, it cannot fall below that level. Thus, the market will not reach the equilibrium.

4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : FALSE

Frictional unemployment is a type of unemployment that occurs when workers are temporarily unemployed while switching between jobs. It is normal and occurs even in the healthiest of economies. A binding minimum wage is more likely to cause structural unemployment. This occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of the labor force and the skills expected to be possessed by employers to do a particular job. Hence, even if jobs are available, the laborers are not suited to do them and thus are unemployed.
