Answer:

b. 7.28%

Explanation:

This question is asking for the yield to maturity(YTM) of the bond. You can solve this using a financial calculator with the inputs below. Additionally, adjust the coupon payment(PMT) and time to maturity(N) to semiannual basis.

Time to maturity; N = 5*2 = 10

Face value; FV = 1000

Price of bond; PV = -1071

Semiannual coupon payment; PMT = (9%/2) *1000 = 45

then compute semiannual interest rate; CPT I/Y = 3.64%

Next, convert the semiannual rate to annual rate(YTM) = 3.64% *2

YTM = 7.28%

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Overhead costs are assigned to production using an overhead application rate, whereas no such "application rate" is used to assign the costs of direct materials and direct labor to production. The reason for this difference in procedures is that:

Overhead is an indirect cost which cannot be traced easily and directly to specific units of product.

Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead costs are not direct costs.  They are not generally traceable to units of products.  They include such indirect costs as Depreciation Expense, Property Taxes, Indirect Labor, Indirect Materials, etc.  No unit of product can be ascribed such costs except as an approximation.

Bakers are much likely to supply pastries to the market if property rights are not enforced. In the presence of market failures,
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1) When there is only one car dealership in a small town, giving the dealership the ability to influence the price of cars, market failure is due to <u>MARKET POWER. </u>

2) When a manufacturing plant dumps chemical waste into a nearby river, poisoning the water supply for a small town downstream, market failure is due to <u>EXTERNALITY.</u>

Explanation:

The car dealership has an excessive market power , which refers to the firms ability to increase the price of its products (cars) above the price of a competitive market.

When the manufacturing plant dumps chemical wastes into the river, it is causing a negative externality  on the town's water supply. This means that the town (which is a third party in this case) is suffering from the actions  of another party's economic transactions.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Final balance = $ 14,272.93

Explanation:

Annual Deposits(PMT) = $1,000

Number of years(N) = 12

Rate of interest (r) = 3.1% = 0.031

Future Value = ?

Computation:

Future\ Value = PMT[\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{i} ] \\Future\ Value = 1,000[\frac{(1+0.031)^{12}-1}{0.031} ] \\Future\ Value = 1,000[\frac{(1.031)^{12}-1}{0.031} ] \\Future\ Value = 1,000[\frac{1.44246-1}{0.031} ] \\Future\ Value = 1,000[\frac{0.44246}{0.031} ] \\Future\ Value = 1,000[14.2729] \\Future\ Value = 14,272.9252

Final balance = $ 14,272.93

While charging a general admission price of $15 for adults most days of the week, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston offers free
kow [346]

Answer:

Basically, the museum might price this way because of the low number of people that go to the place that specific day and<u> in order to stimulate the demand from visitors</u>.

Explanation:

To begin with, the reason why organizations price this way, in where they offer one day total free admission is due to the fact that commonly that day selected does not count with much visitors in comparison with the other days of the week supported by statitics of the place and therefore the museum, in this case, wants to increase the amount of people that enter the building, basically.

Secondly, once that the main reason of why the museum might price this way is said, the reason why the are likely to choose a day like Thursday rather than Saturday is due to the fact that Saturdays tend to be the day where those kind of places are full of people because most of the people do not work on weekends and therefore the organization do not need to encourage the entrance of visitors, they will go anyways without any stimulation.
