Answer: x-inefficiency.

Explanation: Since it does not face any competition in its industry, the actions of Metropolitan Power and Light are an example of x-inefficiency which is a situation in which monopolies find themselves wherein they do not have to act efficiently since they are protected from competitive pressures. X-inefficiency is also applied to analyzing the average costs in imperfectly competitive markets whose average costs are higher than they would be if the market was more efficient.

A bond has a modified duration of 8 and a price of 112,955 calculated using an annual effective interest rate of 6.4%. EMAC is t
quester [9]

Answer:

Option E (143) is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

According to the question,

The modified duration will be:

= \frac{Macaulay \ duration}{(1+yield)}

= 8\times 1.064

= 8.512

The percentage change in price will be:

= -0.6\times 8 \ percent

= -4.8 (%)

Now,

The EMOD will be:

= 112955\times (1-4.8 \ percent)

= 107533.2 ($)

Or,

The EMAC will be:

= 112955\times (\frac{1.064}{1.07} )^{8.512}

= 107675.7 ($)

Hence,

⇒ EMOD-EMAC=107533.2-107675.7

                                  =-142.5

⇒ EMAC-EMOD=143
