Answer:

$918.89

Explanation:

For computing the current price of the bond we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 8%  ÷ 2 = 4%

NPER = 5 years × 2 = 10 years

PMT = $1,000 × 6% ÷ 2 = $30

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the current price of the bond is $918.89

One bag of flour is sold for $1.50 to a bakery, which uses the flour to bake bread that is sold for $4.00 to consumers. a second
ale4655 [162]
GDP stands for gross domestic product. The GDP allows economist to measure the market value in terms of money. They are measuring the final good or service that is being offered to a customer over any given time. 

Since the first bag of flour is being sold to a bakery to make bread from and sell for $4.00 the GDP of this item is $4.00 because that is the cost a customer is paying.

The second bag of flour is sold to a customer for $2.00 in a grocery store and is the final cost a they are paying.

In this scenario, the GDP for the two products being sold to a customer is $6.00.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Physics

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost

When an option is chosen from alternatives, the opportunity cost is the "cost" incurred by not enjoying the benefit associated with the best alternative choice.

Since Arshad is concerned about his mid-career salary, Physics has the highest mid-career salary among the options, therefore opportunity cost of choosing to major in communications would be Physics

EuroRail and Swiss Rail are hypothetical railways that have a duopoly on the route that connects the cities of Zurich and Munich
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Select the answer that best describes the strategies in this game.

  • Both companies dominant strategy is to add the train.

Does a Nash equilibrium exist in this game?

  • A Nash equilibrium exists where both companies add a train. (Since I'm not sure how your matrix is set up I do not know the specific location).

Explanation:

we can prepare a matrix to determine the best strategy:

                                                  Swiss Rails

                                     add train             do not add train

                                    $1,500 /             $2,000 /

           add train                     $4,000                $7,500

EuroRail

      do not add train    $4,000 /             $3,000 /

                                               $2,000                $3,000

Swiss Rails' dominant strategy is to add the train = $1,500 + $4,000 = $5,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.

EuroRail's dominant strategy is to add the train = $4,000 + $7,500 = $11,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.

A Nash equilibrium exists because both companies' dominant strategy is to add a train.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

de-industrialization

Explanation:

Deindustrialization refers to the  phase of social and economic event caused by the elimination or decrease of industrial base or operation in a region or country, in particular of manufacturing industries or mining. It's the reverse of being industrialised.

It is the opposite of  industrialization. Deindustrialization usually happens as it is no longer profitable for a specific industrial activity. It's a phase in which industrial development is eliminated or decreased in a country or area due to a major social or economic transition.

If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually:____.
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.

Explanation:

A marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) can be defined as an economic principle which is typically used to represent the rate at which a factor such as capital must decrease so that the same level or quantity of production is maintained when another factor such as labor is changed (increased).

An isoquant is the slope of a marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) which connects the two input factors provided that the level of output or production is the same.

Also, the diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution refers to the decline (fall) in marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) along an isoquant that produces the same quantity (level) of output.

When an isoquant has a diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution, the corresponding isoquants are convex to the origin. Thus, the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) would continue to diminish as more of a factor such as capital is used.

If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
