Answer:

Bond Price = $877.3835955 rounded off to $877.380

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is an annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and r or YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 0.064 * 1000 = $64

Total periods (n)= 25

r or YTM = 7.5% or 0.075

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 64 * [( 1 - (1+0.075)^-25) / 0.075] + 1000 / (1+0.075)^25

Bond Price = $877.3835955 rounded off to $877.380

The town of Chester has an economy composed entirely of two equally sized food companies. Both company Q and company R produce p

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

C) abandon the production of jam to fully specialize in the production of peanut butter and then trade with Company Q for jam.

Explanation:

According to different theories about trade specialization, a company or even a country should specialize in producing only those products that they can make better than their competition, i.e. have a comparative or absolute advantage in their production.

In this case, since Company R has a comparative advantage in the production of peanut butter, it should specialize in producing only that. In case they need jam, they should trade with Company Q in order to get some jam. Eventually Company Q will only produce jam since they have a comparative advantage in jam production.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer

Hello,

Well, a diverse society is stable and alive with positive dynamics, easy to adapt to changes and always geared towards a positive evolutionary.

As an individual, a diverse society offers greater opportunity for personal and professional growth.

In the society, diverse cultural views can inspire creativity and innovation. A diverse society has a pool of diverse skills base which allows an organization to produce broader and more adaptable range of goods and services.

A challenge in this is that integration across multicultural groups can be difficult due to negative cultural stereotypes. Some countries require navigating visa and application of employment laws that could be challenging requirements.

Diversity quotas in colleges can be outlawed but still allow colleges to consider race in admitting students.

Wish you luck!

Answer:

Chevron Phillips (CP)

a. The gross income or annual savings is:

= $804,846.

b. The income tax for the 1st year assuming a marginal tax rate of 40% is:

= $131,600.

c. The after-tax cash flow for the 1st year is:

= $559,400.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations;

Cost of new laboratory equipment = $1,770,000

Borrowed capital = $849,600 ($1,770,000 * 48%)

Borrowing rate = 13.4%

Borrowing interest expense for the first year = $113,846

Depreciation = $362,000

Taxable income = $329,000

Gross savings = $X

$X = $804,846 ($113,846 + $362,000 + $329,000)

Income tax for the 1st year:

Marginal tax rate = 40%

Taxable income = $329,000

= $131,600 ($329,000 * 40%)

After-tax Cash Flows for the 1st year:

Gross savings = $804,846

Interest expense 113,846

Depreciation 362,000

Taxable income $329,000

Income tax 131,600

Net income $197,400

Cash Flows:

Net income $197,400

Laredo advertises a reward for the return of his lost dog. Miguel, who does not know of the reward, finds and returns the dog, w

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

b. did not know of the reward when he returned the dog.

Explanation:

Laredo advertises for getting his dog back. This does not infer that the dog will only be returned when the reward will be paid.

Miguel did not know about the reward, so the reward in this case is not mandatory to be paid, but if Laredo initiates the reward himself, that can be accepted.

This is a clear demonstration of being kind and get what you know.

So if you do not know the facts, you are on fault.
