d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

1. Supply will decrease

Explanation:

Due to the basic economic principle that when supply superceeds the demand for goods and services, the prices of such goods and services fall. As a result of this, and an expected increase in future prices, the supply of coffee beans by coffee merchants to the markets will decrease.

This is because the merchants want to receive higher profits and to do so, they will withhold supply to sell in the next six months when the price is higher.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

$C(t)=0.1t+25$

Explanation:

So, we are looking for a linear equation. As we know Equation of a line has different forms, let´s use slope-intercept form:

$C(t)=mt+b$

Where C is the total cost as a function of t, t is the amount of airtime in minutes, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Now, let´s use the data provide in order to find m and b:

$40=150m+b$ (E1)

$55=300m+b$ (E2)

We have a 2X2 system of equations, let´s solve it using elimination method:

$2(E1)-(E2)$

$25=0+b\\b=25$

Replacing b in (E1) or (E2):

$m=\frac{40-25}{150}$

$m=\frac{1}{10}=0.1$

Knowing the slope m and the y-intercept b the linear model that represents the total cost as a function of t is:

$C(t)=0.1t+25$

You can check the results evaluating t=150 and t=300, the results must be 40 and 55 respectively

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

YTM is 7.54%.

Explanation:

The yield to maturity can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)

Where;

YTM = yield to maturity = ?

nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity = original maturity number of years - number of years between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2018 = 20 - 2 = 18

pmt = annual coupon payment = face value * annual coupon rate = 1000 * 9% = 90 (Note: This is an inflow to the bondholder and it is therefore a positive figure).

pv = present value = current bond price = -1141.20 (Note: This is an outflow to the buyer of the bond and it is therefore a negative figure).

fv = face value of the bond = 1000 (Note: This is an inflow to the bondholder and it is therefore a positive figure).

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

YTM = RATE(18,90,-1141.20,1000) ............ (2)

Inputting =RATE(18,90,-1141.20,1000) into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 7.54%.

Therefore, YTM is 7.54%.
