Answer:

$1003.92

Explanation:

The invoice price is calculated as the reported price plus the accrued interest. Therefore, the formula for accrued interest is shown below:

Accrued Interest =  \frac{Annual coupon payment}{2} * \frac{days since last coupon payment}{days separating coupon payments}

Given that the coupon rate is 8%, therefore the bond pays $80 of coupon payments every year.

January 14 was the day that the last coupon was paid, so it has been 14 days since the last payment.

The coupon period is 182 days.

Therefore, the accrued interest is

= \frac{80}{2} *  \frac{14}{182} \\= 3.297

The invoice price is calculated as:

$1000.625 + $3.297

= $1003.922.

Therefore the invoice price of the bond is $1003.92

Answer:

$1,003.92

Explanation:

the invoice price (or dirty price) of the bond = bond's market price + accrued interest:

  • bond market price = $1,000.625 (given by WSJ)
  • accrued interest = (coupon* / days within the period) x days passed since last coupon paid = ($40/182 days) x 15 days = $0.21978 x 15 days = $3.2967

dirty price = $1,000.625 + $3.2967 = $1,003.92

*semiannual coupon = $1,000 x 8% x 1/2 = $40

An increase in the costs of resources or inputs of production would shift the ________.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

C. short-run aggregate supply curve leftward

Explanation:

When the cost of production or inputs of production increase the short run supply curve shifts left because the producers are now willing to sell less at the same price because it is more expensive for them to produce, so at every price the production decreases because of which the supply curve shifts left. The long run supply curve isn't affected by an increase in costs of resources because it is the potential of the economy and an increase in costs of does not change the potential of the economy.

We often observe that addition of another unit of labor increases output but by an amount that is smaller than the addition of t
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The producer is experiencing diminishing marginal product.

Explanation:

The law of diminishing return explains that every additional unit consumed will have less utility/return than the previous one. Same is the case with labor productivity. The first unit of labor will yield maximum return, every additional unit will result in lesser return/productivity than the previous unit. The will continue up to the point of maximum return. After that point adding additional resources will yield less total output.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

$85

Explanation:

Costco Medical Supply's inventory:

                   Surgical Eq - Surgical Supp - Rehab Eq - Rehab Supp

Selling price     $260                  $100           $340               $165

Cost                  $170                     $90           $250              $162

Costs to sell     $30                      $15              $25                 $10

If we apply the net realizable value rule, the value of surgical supplies would be:

NRV = $100 = $15 = $85

the NRV is also the lower of cost since $85 < $90
