Answer:

6.67% and 6.694%

Explanation:

The computation of the approximate yield to maturity and the exact yield to maturity is shown below:

For Approximate yield to maturity it is

= 2 × ((Face value - current price) ÷ (2 × time period) + face value × coupon rate ÷ 2) ÷ (Face value + current price) ÷ 2)

=2 × (($1,000 - $950) ÷ (2 × 10) + $1,000 × 6% ÷ 2) ÷ (($1,000 + $950) ÷ 2)

= 6.67%

Now

the Exact yield to maturity is

= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV)

= RATE (10 × 2, 6% × $1000 ÷ 2,-$950,$1,000) × 2

= 6.694%

Is it possible to decrease inflation without causing a recession and its concomitant increase in unemployment? The orthodox answ
NeTakaya

Answer:

The answer is: E) It would not necessarily be considered high elsewhere

Explanation:

Usually the inflation rate in the US and Europe is around 1-3%. In the early 1980's the US inflation rate was above 10% so it was considered huge. But if you consider it against inflation rates in other countries, like Argentina for example, which currently has an annual inflation rate of over 60% then it wasn't that big. During the 1980's many countries suffered from hyperinflation, with monthly inflation rates of over 50%.

So the high inflation rate in the US and Europe wasn't necessarily high for other countries.

Suppose the quantity demanded of a particular good increases by 30%, and (the absolute value of) the price elasticity of demand
viktelen [127]

Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Quantity demanded increases by = 30%

Price elasticity of demand = 2

Therefore,

Price elasticity of demand = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{Percentage\ change\ in\ prices}

2 = \frac{30}{Percentage\ change\ in\ prices}

Percentage change in prices = \frac{30}{2}

                                                = 15%

Therefore, price of a particular good decreases by 15%.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

JetBlue's equity at the end of the year was $1,888 million

Explanation:

Basing on accounting equation:

Total asset = Liabilities + Equity

At the beginning of a recent year, JetBlue's liabilities = Total asset - Equity = $7,071 - $1,757 = $5,314 million.

During the year, assets decreased by $1 million and liabilities decreased by $132 million.

At the end of the year:

JetBlue's assets = $7,071 - $1 = $7,070 million

JetBlue's liabilities = $5,314 - $132 = $5,182 million

JetBlue's equity = JetBlue's assets - JetBlue's liabilities = $7,070 - $5,182 = $1,888 million
