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.

A manufacturer of hospital supplies has a uniform annual demand for 320 comma 000 boxes of bandages. It costs ​$10 to store one
mash [69]

Answer:

100 times per year

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Annual Demand , D = 320,000 boxes

Cost of storing one box, C = $10

Plant set up cost for production, c = $160

Now,

The optimal ordering quantity = \sqrt\frac{2cD}{C}

or

The optimal ordering quantity = \sqrt\frac{2(160)(32,000)}{10}

or

= 3200

Therefore,

Number of timer in year company produce boxes = \frac{\textup{Demand}}{\textup{Optimal order quantity}}

= \frac{\textup{320,000}}{\textup{3,200}}

= 100 times per year

Phillips Equipment has 80,000 bonds outstanding that are selling at par. Bonds with similar characteristics are yielding 7.5%. T
ollegr [7]

Answer:

A) 10.15%

Explanation:

Cost of equity (Re) = 14.06% or 0.1406

cost of preferred stock (Rp) = 7/65 = 0.10769

cost of bonds (Rb) = 7.5% or 0.075

 outstanding shares = 2.5 million shares x $42 = $105 million

bonds outstanding = $1,000 x 80,000 bonds = $80 million

preferred stock = $65 x 750,000 = $48.75 million

corporate tax rate = 38% or 0.38

total market value of equity + debt (in millions) = $105 + $48.75 + $80 = $233.75

WACC = [(outstanding shares / total market value) x Re] + [(preferred stock / total market value) x Rp] + {[(bonds outstanding / total market value) x Rb] x (1 - tax rate)}

WACC = [($105m / $233.75m) x 0.1406] + [($48.75m / $233.75m) x 0.10769] + {[($80m / $233.75m) x 0.075] x (1 - 0.38)}

WACC = 0.06316 + 0.02246 + 0.01591 = 0.10153 or 10.15%

describe the difference between autonomous expenditure and induced expenditure. Which sectors of the economy are assumed to have
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The difference between autonomous expenditure and induced expenditure is as follows:

The autonomous expenditure is incurred even without a disposable income.  The expenditure is incurred to provide basic necessities of life.  In such a situation, the person spends from savings account or borrows to ensure that the basic necessities are provided.

On the other hand, induced expenditure is a disposable income-based expenditure.  This implies that when disposable income rises, induced expenditure also rises, and vice versa.  Induced expenditure is usually incurred to fund normal goods and services and not necessities.  Without disposable income, there is no induced expenditure.

All the four sectors of the economy engage in these expenditures.  The public (government) and household sectors are mostly affected.  However, even the business and non-profit sectors are also affected by these types of expenditure.

Explanation:

We can distinguish between two types of aggregate expenditure.  The first one is autonomous aggregate expenditure, which does not vary with the level of real GDP while induced aggregate expenditure varies with real GDP.
