Answer:

False

Explanation:

In a competitive market, if production (and consumption) continues until the marginal benefit of one more unit equals marginal cost, then total surplus is maximized.

As for any extra unit produced

Marginal Benefit > Marginal cost = Surplus

Marginal Benefit = Marginal cost = No Surplus / No loss

Marginal Benefit > Marginal cost = loss

When your Marginal benefit is maximum and Marginal cost is minimum then the surplus will be maximized.

Most efficient situation in which benefit is maximum and the cost is minimum results in maximized surplus.

A Treasury bill with 119 days to maturity is quoted at 97.630. What are the bank discount yield, the bond equivalent yield, and
Dovator [93]

Answer:

discount yield=7.17%

bond equivalent yield=7.34%

effective annual yield =7.64%

Explanation:

Discount yield =discount /face value*360/t

where t is the number of days to maturity

discount =face value -issue price

discount=100-97.63

discount=2.37

discount yield =2.37/100*360/119

discount yield=7.17%

bond equivalent yield=(1+periodic yield)^360/t-1

periodic yield =discount/face value=2.37/100=2.37%

bond equivalent yield =(1+2.37%)^(360/119)-1

bond equivalent yield=7.34%

effective annual yield=(1+HPY)^365/t-1

Holding period yield (HPY)=discount/price=2.37/97.63

HPY=2.43%

effective annual yield=(1+2.43%)^(365/119)-1

effective annual yield =7.64%
