A contingent workforce is more on-demand than standard, full-time employees. Examples of contingent workers are freelancers, contractors, and consultants. These types of workers are hired when needed for shorter term projects and are only employed by the company for the time they are needed to complete their project.

James Corporation is planning to issue bonds with a face value of $502,500 and a coupon rate of 6 percent. The bonds mature in 7

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Bond Price = $563,333.90007 rounded off to $563,333.90

Bond Price = $502500

Bond Price = $437232.16025 rounded off to $437232.16

Explanation:

To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, which is the present value of the bond, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is a semi annual bond, we will use the semi annual coupon payment, semi annual number of periods and semi annual YTM. The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

a. Case A: Market interest rate (annual): 4 percent

Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075

Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14

r or YTM = 4% * 6/12 = 0.02 or 2%

Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.02)^-14) / 0.02] + 502500 / (1+0.02)^14

Bond Price = $563,333.90007 rounded off to $563,333.90

b. Case B: Market interest rate (annual): 6 percent

Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075

Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14

r or YTM = 6% * 6/12 = 0.03 or 3%

Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.03)^-14) / 0.03] + 502500 / (1+0.03)^14

Bond Price = $502500

c. Case C: Market interest rate (annual): 8.5 percent.

Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075

Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14

r or YTM = 8.5% * 6/12 = 0.0425 or 4.25%

Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.0425)^-14) / 0.0425] + 502500/(1+0.0425)^14

Bond Price = $437232.16025 rounded off to $437232.16

The larger a given sector's contribution to a country's GDP is, the larger the impact of a shock to that sector on GDP is.

Nikitich [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

When a sector contributes a significant amount to GDP suffers a shock, the GDP of the nation will be shocked as well. Proportionally it goes that the greater the shock to the sector, the greater the shock to the GDP.

For instance, Agriculture contributes a significant amount to GDP. If a drought were to hit that reduced harvests by 50%, the GDP will suffer a huge shock as well because the contribution from Agriculture will be significantly less.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 50,000 bottles of wine were sold every

grigory [225]

Answer:

$1 and $3

False

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Amount of tax for each bottle is $4 because the sellers are receiving $2 and buyers are paying $6. Therefore,

Amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $6 - $2 = $4

Burden on the consumer = $6 - $5

= $1

Burden on the seller = $4 - $1

= $3

False, because the tax incidence depends on the flexibility or elasticity of market.
