Explanation:
Breach of warranty is defined as a misrepresentation of the quality or type of a product. The seller fails to fulfil a promise or claim made during a transaction.
When a good is being sold there are certain assertions which the seller must stand behind.
In this scenario Mark tells Leslie that his stereo has quadraphonic speakers because he was told that when he bought it.
The fact that the stereo did not have quadrophinic speakers should have been discovered and stated by Mark. The misinformation he got when buying the stereo does not clear him of breach of warranty
Answer:
C) Exports decrease, imports increase
Explanation:
If the US dollar appreciates, the US dollar has now more value per unit of foreign currency than before. For example, suppose that today 1 US dollar buys 0.8 Euro, and tomorrow, Europe is hit by a financial crisis, and the US dollar appreciates, and buys 1.2 Euro. The US dollar has appreciated, has become more expensive, becomes now more euros are needed to buy 1 US dollar.
When the US dollar gains value, domestic goods become more expensive compared to foreign goods, and this promotes imports, and reduces exports.
This is the reason why China keeps a depreciated currency: China is an export economy and the cheap Chinese currency makes exports cheaper, and imports more expensive.

When the bond is sale at premium, it means the market rate is lower than coupon rate. So investor purchase the bond a higher price until the bond yield equal the market rate
If sold at discount, the market rate is higher than coupon rate. This means it's sold below face value to increase the bond yield to market rate.
YTM if market price is 887 = 10.7366190%
YTM if market price is 1,134.2= 7.1764596%
Explanation:
For the YTM we can calculate an estimated using the following formula:
Where:
C= coupon payment 1,000 x 9% = 90
F= face value of the bonds = 1000
P= market price = 887
n= years to maturity = 10
YTM = 10.7366190%
C= 90
F= 1000
P= 1134.2
n= 10
YTM = 7.1764596%
A more precise answer can be achieve using excle or a financial calculator.
