Answer:
(a) $7; $205 million
(b) $9; $195 million
(c) $400 million
(d) $390 million
(e) Loss = $10 million
Explanation:
(a) Price paid by consumers when no tariff imposed:
= Marginal cost + Distribution cost
= $6 + $1
= $7
Quantity demanded:
Q = 240 - 5P
= 240 - 5 × $7
= 240 - $35
= $205 million pounds
(b) At imposed tariff of $2 per pound, then the new price paid by consumers:
= Marginal cost + Distribution cost + Tariff
= $6 + $1 + $2
= $9
New quantity demanded:
Q = 240 - 5P
= 240 - 5 × $9
= 240 - $45
= $195 million pounds
(c) Lost consumer surplus:
= ($9 - $7)($195) + (0.5)($9 - $7)($205 - $195)
= ($2 × $195) + (0.5 × $2 × $10)
= $390 + $10
= $400 million
(d) Tax revenue collected by government:
= Quantity demanded under tariff × tariff
= $195 × $2
= $390 million
(e) Tax revenue of $390 million received is less than the value of coffee sold under tariff $400 million.
Loss = $400 million - $390 million
= $10 million
Answer: $34.33
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that bond has a par value of $1,000, a current yield of 6.84 percent, and semiannual coupon payments and that the bond is quoted at 100.39.
Thee amount of each coupon payment goes thus:
We have to calculate the bond price which will be:
= $1000 × 100.39%
= $1000 × 1.39
= $1003.9
It should be noted that the current yield is calculated as the annual coupon amount divided by the bond price. This will be:
6.84% = annual coupon amount ÷ $1003.9
Annual coupon amount = $1003.9 × 6.84%
= $1003.9 × 0.0684
= $68.67
Each coupon amount will now be:
= $68.67/2
= $34.33
