Answer:
The bond has a 2 percent coupon and a face value at issuance of $1000 which is the same with the Treasury inflation-protected bond. However, the reference Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services has increased from 202.34 to 203.18. From this deduction, what I know for certain about this bond is that the interest payment have increased and the coupon rate is still 2 percent.
Answer:
Decision on the margins
Explanation:
Pool time seems to be having a greater effect at the moment, it makes sense for his to spend a bit more time in the pool and a bit less time on the bike.
However, this does not mean that it makes sense for her to spend all his time in the pool and no time on the bike. If he cut out all training on the bike, the value of a little bit of bike training might be higher than the value of the last hour of pool training. Dimitri does not treat biking versus swimming as an all-or-nothing decision. He makes small changes at the margin in the number of hours spent training for each activity.
Also they both realise that his time is fixed (20hrs) and anytime he wants to spend extra on one activit, is time he cannot spend on another (opportunity cost).
They are both trying to improve Dimitri's total time (exploiting opportunities to makes themselves better off).
An assumption that Dimitri realises that as he spends more time in the pool improving his swim time, his run and cycle times will suffer. As he swims more, his improvement is likely to slow down, while spending less time on cycling and running will cost him progressively more in terms of time.
Conclusion Dimitri is looking at the margins. His wife on the other hand, is not, she is ignoring the interaction, may be forgetting the decreasing improvements in swim and increasing deterioration in the other 2 legs.

Answer:
Net income for the year = $257,000
Explanation:
Retained earnings for the year= Net income - dividends paid.
Since no dividends were paid, retained earnings for the year = net income for the year. At the end of each accounting period, retained earnings are reported on the balance sheet, and the retained profits for the year are added to the beginning balance of retained earnings, to give a cumulative ending balance of $2,499,000.
therefore retained earnings for the year = ending retained earnings balance - beginning retained earnings balance = $2,499,000.-$2,242,000= $257,000.
Net income for the year is thus = $257,000 since no dividends were paid.
Answer:
The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rM is the return on market
r = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
