Yields on short-term bonds tend to be more volatile than yields on long-term bonds. Suppose that you have estimated that the yie

ld on 20-year bonds changes by 10 basis points for every 15-basis-point move in the yield on 5-year bonds. You hold a $1 million portfolio of 5-year maturity bonds with modified duration 4 years and desire to hedge your interest rate exposure with T-bond futures (20 year maturity), which currently have modified duration 9 years and sell at F0 = $95. How many futures contracts should you sell?

NeX [460]

Answer:

  • <u><em>protons</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Explanation:

By definition the<em> atomic number </em>of an element is the<em> number of protons.</em>

The protons are the positevely charged particles in the nucleus of the atom.

The atomic number of an element is what uniquely identifies it. There are 118 known elements and all of them are represented in the periodic table. Then, there are 118 different atomic numbers.

The elements are arranged in the periodic table in increasing order ot atomic number.

For instance:

  • The element with <em>atomic number</em> 1 is hydrogen (H). It is the first element in the periodic table, located in the upper left corner of the table. It has one <em>proton</em>. NONE  other element has just one proton.

  • The element with <em>atomic number</em> 2 is helium (He). It has two <em>protons</em>, is located at the upper right corner of the periodic table and NONE other element has just two protons.

  • The element with <em>atomic number</em> 118 is Oganesson (Og). It is the last element in the periodic table. It is located in the bottom right corner of the periodic table. It has 118 <em>protons</em> and NONE other element has atomic number 118.

Why is it easier to quantify paid work done outside the home over unpaid housework and childcare?
diamong [38]
<span>It is easier to quantify paid work done outside the home over unpaid housework and childcare because traditional means of tracking economic activity, such as the gross domestic product (GDP) can be used. Housework on the other hand is not easily measurable because the traditional means of tracking economic activity  do not take account of non-exchange, non-market household activity. </span>

Alameda Tile sells products to many people remodeling their homes and thinks that it could profitably offer courses on tile inst
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Alameda Tile

a. The enrollment to enable Alameda Tile to break even = 500 students.

b. To make an operating profit of $80,000, number of students

= 750 students

c. With projected enrollment for the year of 800 students:

1. Operating profit = Total Contribution - Fixed Costs

= ($320 * 800) - $160,000

= $96,000

2. a) Operating Profit, if the tuition per student decreased by 10%.

New selling price = $720  which is $800 * (1 - 10%)

Variable cost             480

Contribution           $240

Operating profit = Total Contribution - Fixed Costs

= ($240 * 800) - $160,000

= $32,000

2. b) Operating Profit, if the tuition per student increased by 20%.

New selling price = $960  which is $800 * (1 + 20%)

Variable cost             480

Contribution           $480

Operating profit = Total Contribution - Fixed Costs

= ($480 * 800) - $160,000

= $224,000

3. a) Operating Profit, if variable costs per student decreased by 10%.

Selling price =         $800

Variable cost             432     $480 * (1 - 10%)

Contribution           $368

Operating profit = Total Contribution - Fixed Costs

= ($368 * 800) - $160,000

= $134,400

3. b) Operating Profit, if variable costs per student increased by 20%.

Selling price =         $800

Variable cost             576     $480 * (1 + 20%)

Contribution           $224

Operating profit = Total Contribution - Fixed Costs

= ($224 * 800) - $160,000

= $19,200

4. Operating profit, if fixed costs reduced by 10% and variable cost increased by 10%:

Selling price =         $800

Variable cost             528     $480 * (1 + 10%)

Contribution           $272

Operating profit = Total Contribution - Fixed Costs

= ($272 * 800) - $144,000 ($160,000 * (1 - 10%)

= $73,600

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Tentative Price and Cost Characteristics:

Tuition $ 800 per student

Variable costs (tiles, supplies, and so on) 480 per student

Fixed costs (advertising, salaries, and so on) 160,000 per year

Per unit       Tentative

Selling price = $800

Variable cost    480

Contribution  $320

b) Computation of break-even point:

To break-even with fixed cost of $160,000, sales unit will be equal to:

Fixed cost/Contribution per unit = $160,000/$320 = 500 students

c) Fixed cost + Target Profit /Contribution per unit:

= ($160,000 + $80,000)/$320

= $240,000/320

= 750 students
