Answer: A. I and IV only

Explanation:

The relationship between bond prices and interest is an inverse one. This is because bonds have fixed rates so when for instance interest rates increase, the fixed rate of bonds will become less attractive as people would want to make the higher interest. They will therefore demand less of bonds and the prices will drop. The reverse is true.

Also, long term bonds are more affected by interest rate changes then short term bonds. This is because, as they have a longer term till maturity, they will be even less attractive when interest rates rise.

sammy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A point on U=800 is (5, 16)

From BL:

400*F+100D =4000

400*5+100*16 =3600<4000

Therefore u = 800 affordable.

U= 1200

F = 1200/10D

If D = 20

F = 1200/200

=6

Now from BL:

400*6+100*20= 2400+2000=4400>4000

Not affordable.

Maximization:

L = 10DF+ʎ[100*D+400*F – 4000]

Differentiating wrt D and F:

dL/dD = 10F + ʎ*100

dL/dF = 10D +ʎ*400

equating to zero;                      

ʎ= -F/10

ʎ=-D/40

equating the two:

F/10=D/40

D = 4F

From BL:

400*F+100*D = 4000

400F+100*4F = 4000

800F = 4000

F = 5

D = 4*5=20

The net income is the actual earnings of the business which is determined from the profit or loss statement by deducting all the expenses from the revenues earned.

The effect of the adjusting entries on the net income will be as follows:

2) Interest revenue will be of $1,200. It is charged for 6months. This will increase the net income.

3) The depreciation expense of $16,000. This will decrease the net income.

Therefore for the overall effect on the net income, if there will be no effect of the above adjustments then it will show net income by higher amount then the actual net income, by $22,800.
