Answer:

B) the other firm does not view the announcement as credible

Explanation:

The reason is that the other firm thinks that the announcing firm will make losses as it will not be able to sell the products in an imperfect market where both the firms have identical cost functions and knew all about the cost. So increasing the production when the demand is the same will decrease the price of the product and result in increased losses to the announcing company.

Which of the following statements are true regarding​ externalities? ​(Check all that apply​.) A. Deadweight loss can be either
ella [17]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.

A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.

Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible

Coase theorem has been proposed as a solution to externality. According to this theory, when there are conflicting property rights, bargaining between parties involved can lead to an efficient outcome only if the bargaining cost is low

Another solution to negative externality is through the activities of charities. Charities can raise donations to limit or regulate the activities of firms that constitutes a negative externality.

A bond has a 7.5% annual coupon rate with 4 years to maturity and pays annual coupon. par value is $1000
AveGali [126]

Answer:

1.1 Inflow (Coupon payment ) = $1000 * 7.5% = $75

  Year     Inflows    Pvf at 5%     Present value

      1            75        0.952381     71.43

      2            75       0.907029    68.03

      3            75       0.863838     64.79

      4            75       0.822702     61.70

      4           1000    0.822702     822.70

   Total                                       1,088.65

Price of Bond, when yield to maturity is 5% = $1088.65

1.2   Year     Inflows    Pvf at 5.2%     Present value

           1            75          0.95057           71.29

          2            75          0.9035839        67.77

          3            75          0.85892             64.42

          4            75          0.816464            61.23  

          4          1000        0.816464            816.46

Total                                                           1,081.18

Price of Bond, when yield to maturity is 5.2% =$1081.18

1.3  Change in price of Bond = (Decrease in price of bond / price of bond ) * 100

= $7.47 / 1088.65 *100

= 0.69%

Change in price of Bond when yield increases by 0.2%( i.e Decrease in price of bond)

= $1088.65 - $ 1081.18

= $7.47

1.4   Year    Inflows    Pvf at 5%       P. value    Year*P. value

        1          75          0.9523809    71.43            71.43

        2         75          0.907029       68.03           136.05

        3         75          0.863838        64.79           194.36

        4         75          0.822702        61.70            246.81

        4        1000       0.822702       822.70         3,290.81

     Total                                           1,088.65        3,939.47

Modified duration = Bond duration / ( 1+YTM)

= 3.6187 / ( 1+0.05)

= 3.446

Bond Duration = Sum of (PV of inflows) / Sum of (Year*PV of inflows)

= $3,939.47 / $1088.65

= $3.6187

1.5 % Change in price of bond = (-1 * Modified duration * % change in YTM in term of basis point)

= ( -1 * 3.446 * 0.2)

= -0.69 %
