Deflation means that your money has more buying power, thus it decreases the burden of paying off your loan because (in theory) you would have more money available to pay your loan since other prices have gone down.

Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 5.8 percent coupons, make semiannual payments,

viva [34]

Answer:

Percentage change in Bill Price = (91.8486 - 100) / 100 = -0.0815 or -8.15%

Percentage change in Bill Price = (78.1448 - 100) / 100 = -0.2186 or -21.86%

Percentage change in Bill Price = (109.0298 - 100) / 100 = 0.0903 or 9.03%

Percentage change in Bill Price = (132.0946 - 100) / 100 = 0.3209 or 32.09%

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage change in the price of both the bonds, we assume that the par value of both the bonds is $100 each.

To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) both Bill and Ted = 100 * 0.058 * 6/12 = $2.9

Total periods (n) - Bill= 5 * 2 = 10

Total periods (n) - Ted= 25 * 2 = 50

As the bonds were previously price at par, the YTM or market interest rate would have been same as the coupon rate. Thus, the old market interest rate was 5.8%. Now as the interest rates have risen by 2% new interest rate will be = 5.8 + 2 = 7.8%

New r or YTM - both Bill and Ted = 7.8% * 6/12 = 3.9% or 0.039

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price - Bill = 2.9 * [( 1 - (1+0.039)^-10) / 0.039] + 100 / (1+0.039)^10

Bond Price - Bill = $91.8486

Percentage change in Bill Price = (91.8486 - 100) / 100 = -0.0815 or -8.15%

Bond Price - Ted = 2.9 * [( 1 - (1+0.039)^-50) / 0.039] + 100 / (1+0.039)^50

Bond Price - Ted = $78.1448

Percentage change in Bill Price = (78.1448 - 100) / 100 = -0.2186 or -21.86%

As the bonds were previously price at par, the YTM or market interest rate would have been same as the coupon rate. Thus, the old market interest rate was 5.8%. Now as the interest rates have fallen by 2% new interest rate will be = 5.8 - 2 = 3.8%

New r or YTM - both Bill and Ted = 3.8% * 6/12 = 1.9% or 0.019

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price - Bill = 2.9 * [( 1 - (1+0.019)^-10) / 0.019] + 100 / (1+0.019)^10

Bond Price - Bill = $109.0298

Percentage change in Bill Price = (109.0298 - 100) / 100 = 0.0903 or 9.03%

Bond Price - Ted = 2.9 * [( 1 - (1+0.019)^-50) / 0.019] + 100 / (1+0.019)^50

Bond Price - Ted = $132.0946

Percentage change in Bill Price = (132.0946 - 100) / 100 = 0.3209 or 32.09%

"Stock R has a beta of 1.5, Stock S has a beta of 0.75, the required return on an average stock is 10%, and the risk-free rate o

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

4.5%

Explanation:

Stock R (Beta) = 1.5

Stock S (Beta) = 0.75

Expected rate of return on an average stock (Rm)= 10%

Risk free rate (Rf) = 4%

Required Return (Re) = Rf +(Rm-Rf) B

Required Return = 0.04 + (0.10-0.04) B

Required Return = 0.04 + 0.06B

Stock R = 0.04 + (0.06 * 1.50)

Stock R = 0.04 + 0.09

Stock R = 0.13

Stock R = 13%

Stock S = 0.04 + (0.06 * 0.75)

Stock S = 0.04 + 0.045

Stock S = 0.085

Stock S = 8.5%

Here, the more risky stock is R and less risky stock is S. Since, R has more beta than the Stock S.

= 13% - 8.5%

= 4.5%

Answer:

Logistics

Explanation:

Logistics is the process of managing the movement of merchandise or resources from their point of origin to the intended consumer. Logistics in an organization is the management of mobility and storage activities undertaken by the company. Logistics management will involve the identification of distributors and suppliers of the company's products.

Poor logistics will hurt business performance. If the company's products are not available for consumers to buy, low sales will be realized. An inefficient logistics system will make company products expensive. As a result, the company's goods becomes uncompetitive in the market.
