Answer:

47,885 bonds

Explanation:

In determining the number of bonds that must be sold to raise $87.9 million to fund the project , the current price per bond can computed which can thereafter be used to divide the expected proceeds from the issue in order to determine the number of bonds to be issued.

The current price of the bond can be calculated using the pv formula in excel which is given as:

=pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the yield to maturity divided by 2 since interest is paid twice a year

that is 6.67%/2

nper is the time to maturity of the bond multiplied by 2;20*2

pmt is the six month interest  receivable by investors 5.92%/2*$2000=$59.2

fv is the face value at $2000

=pv(6.67%/2,40,59.2,2000)

pv=$1835.66

The number of bonds=$87,900,000/$1835.66

                                     =47885 bonds

Answer:

47,884.79  units of bonds

Explanation:

The units to be sold to arise $87.9 million  will be equal to the

$87.9 million / divided by the bond price

The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity. These cash flows include interest payment and redemption value

The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:

Step 1

PV of interest payment

Semi-annual coupon rate = 5.92/2 =  2.96%

Interest payment =2.96%× 2,000= 59.2

Semi annual yield = 6.67%/2  = 3.335

PV of interest payment

= A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

=  59.2× (1-(1.03335)^(-2×20))/0.03335)

= 1,297.22

Step 2

PV of redemption value

PV = FV× (1+r)^(-n)

= 2,000 × (1+0.03335)^(-2× 20)

= 538.43

Step 3

Price of bond =

= 1297.22 + 538.43

= $1835.65

Step 4

Units to be used

= $87.9 million/ $1,835.65

=  47,884.79  units

Which of the following characteristics differentiates a firm in an oligopolistic market from a firm in a perfectly competitive m
Oliga [24]

Answer:

A) A firm in an oligopolistic market has to consider its own impact on price when making production decisions

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market is a market with many firms selling identical product. There are free entry and free exist and the decision of a firm does not affect the price in the market as all firms are price takers. Therefore, each firm is independent under perfectly competitive market and production decisions of a firm in a perfectly competitive market does not affect the price in the market nor will it cause any reaction from other firms.

However, Oligopolistic market is a market where there are few firms which are 3 or more firms but not more than 20 firms selling identical or differentiated product.. Firms in oligopolistic market are interdependent which implies that the decision of one firm can affect price and this can cause reaction from other firms and then lead to a price war. A price war occurs when each firm continually reduces its own price in order to increase its market share which causes other firms to react reducing their own prices and this will make none of the firms to gain in the end. In order to avoid the price war, each firm in an oligopolistic market has to consider its own impact on price when making production decisions.

"Convergence occurs as ________ is sought, such as for the EC countries, and as competitive pressures in free-trade zones, such
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": harmonization.

Explanation:

In economics, convergence refers to the fact that poor countries' income per capita increases at a faster pace than in rich countries. At a certain point in time, every country's income per capita should converge at the same point.

Several actions could be carried out to fasten that process such as standardizing labor conditions across the European Community (EC) or free-trade blocks such as the North American Free-Trade Agreement (NAFTA). <em>Once labor conditions have been subject to </em><u><em>harmonization</em></u><em> regardless of the region in the world, convergence will be a more attainable objective.</em>

irga5000 [103]
<span>Annualized consumption dropped immensely in November 2008. The 5 years prior to 2008 were some of our strongest yet, also, a GDP of $14 trillion is nothing to balk at. I am thoroughly surprised that the decline we experienced then came so soon after a long streak of winning.</span>
