Answer: c. If their maturities and other characteristics were the same, a 5% coupon bond would have more price risk than a 10% coupon bond.
Explanation:
Price risk of a bond is the risk that the bond changes price or rather the degree of price volatility. Bond prices change in reaction to market interest rates with higher rates meaning lower prices and lower rates meaning higher prices.
When the market interest rates rise above the Coupon on a bond, the bond price will fall below par and when the interest rates are below the coupon, the bond will be above par.
A 5% coupon bond will be more prone to changes in prices because market interest rates are generally low and fluctuate below 10% which means that they will affect the 5% bond more than the 10% because there are better chances of rates rising above or falling below 5% than there are of 10%.
Answer:
d) the maximum level of total welfare is not achieved.
Explanation:
When the economic efficiency bears a loss, it is termed to be a deadweight loss. This condition occurs in the situation when the free market equilibrium is not able to be achieved. It occurs in the economy when the supply and the demand for the goods and services start to fall from being in the state of equilibrium. The resources allocated experiences a deficiency, thereby causing a deadweight loss.
Answer:
E) None of the above
Explanation:
In partnership, the partners earn profit. The salary allowances are considered as though paid to a third party and are considered before arriving at the net income.
As such, given that net income is $30,000 and is to be shared in the ratio 80:20 between Gary and Elaine respectively.
Elaine's share = (20/100) × $30,000
= $6,000
Answer:
1. Firms are operating in the short run - relatively inelastic
2. Firms would have a hard time storing their goods - relatively inelastic
3. Firms have a large amount of excess capacity - relatively elastic
4. Firms can easily relocate from one location to another - relatively elastic.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply is less in the short run than in the long run. In the short run supplier does not have enough time to adjust the production level so supply is inelastic. The firms facing hard to store their goods then the supply is inelastic. If the firm has spare capacity available then the supply is relatively elastic because supplier can produce more if the demand is greater. The mobility factor also effects elasticity, if firm can easily relocate itself then the supply is elastic.
Answer:
(a)
For Job G15:
Direct labor = $20,000
Overhead applied = 16,000
Overhead rate = 
= 0.8 × 100
= 80%
Overhead applied = Direct labor × 80%
= $20,000 × 80%
= $16,000
Overhead is applied on direct labor. Hence, rate is 80%.
Overhead for Job B10 = Direct labor × 80%
= $54,000 × 80%
= $43,200
Therefore,
Total overhead applied = $43,200 + 45,750 + 16,000
= $104,950
(b) Hence,
Overapplied overhead for February:
= Total overhead applied - Actual Overhead
= $104,950 - $68,500
= $36,450
