Answer: A. 101

Explanation:

Amortization is done on the premium of the bond if elected to be done by the owner.

Bonds at par are worth 100 so a 102 bond has a premium of 2.

If amortized, this premium will have to be amortized over the period till maturity which in this case is 4 years.

Amortization per year = 2 points / 4 years

= 0.5

In 2 years the amortization would therefore be 1 point.

Cost basis of Bond = 102 - 1

= 101

The Federal Reserve purchases ​$8 million in U.S. Treasury bonds from a bond​ dealer, and the​ dealer's bank credits the​ dealer
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The bank will be able to lend:

$42,105,263 ($8 million/ 0.19)

Explanation:

The above amount which the bank can lend from the $8 million received from the Federal Reserve for a customer is a function of $8 million deposit in a customer's account and the reserve ratio.  This is called the money multiplier.

The money multiplier is the amount of money that banks generate with each dollar of reserves. Reserves is the amount of deposits that the Federal Reserve requires banks to hold and not lend.  The level of Reserves and deposit liabilities determine the amount a bank can lend out.

The process by which banks create more money than the physical money is called money creation.  This shows that a bank creates more money in the economy through its lending activities.

Product V72 sells for $20 per unit as is, but if enhanced it can be sold for $25 per unit. The enhancement process will cost $52
Furkat [3]

Answer:

It will incur an Opportunity cost of $8,000.

Explanation:

It will incur the opportunity cost of $8000 because the additional unit produces by the company then the additional revenue that is generated will be equal to the amount (25 - 20) x 12,000 = 60,000. Since the additional cost, that incurs for the production of 12000 units is 52000. Therefore the profit earned is $8000.

So if the company does not produce it then it will lose the profit of $8000.
