Answer:

Explanation:

Exploitation often involves a denial of an individual's right (in this case a consumer's right).

Consumers are often exploited in this three areas:

Poor quality standard: For example, one may purchase an electronic device, which in most cases the quality level is determined only after using the product and then discover that the product has failed to meet expectations like performance failure.

High Prices: This is often happens when a consumer isn't aware of the average price of a particular product and may be the taken advantage of by the seller.

False or Incomplete product description: Online shopping often presents this type of exploitation. For example, an individual may buy a wrist watch he thinks is made of silver, but receives the item an discover it is actually made of rubber material.

Finger [1]

Answer:

The decline of industry decreases aggregate supply, but it also decreases aggregate demand, i.e. fewer workers = lower demand for goods and services. Since the government receives money form taxing both industries and households, if both industries' and households' income decreases, the government will receive less tax revenue. Less revenue results in higher deficit.

Stech Co. is issuing $9 million 12% bonds in a private placement on July 1, 2017. Each $1,000 bond pays interest semi-annually o

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Expected selling price =$ 1,271.81

Explanation:

The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.

These cash flows include interest payment and redemption value

The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:

Step 1

PV of interest payment

coupon rate - 12%, yield - 8%, years to maturity- 10 years

Semi-annual coupon rate = 12%/2 = 6%

Semi-annual Interest payment =( 6%×$1000)= $60

Semi annual yield = 8%/2 = 4%

PV of interest payment

= A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- interest payment, r- yield - 4%, n- no of periods- 2 × 10 = 20periods

= 60× (1-(1.04)^(-10×2))/0.04)

= 60× 13.59032634

=$815.41

Step 2

PV of redemption value (RV)

PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)

RV - redemption value- $1000, n- 2×10 r- 4%

= 1,000 × (1+0.04)^(-2×10)

= $456.38

Step 3

Price of bond = PV of interest payment + PV of RV

= $815.41 + $456.38

= $ 1,271.81

Expected selling price =$ 1,271.81
