Answer:
The independent cases not given in the question are:
a. Case A: Market interest rate (annual): 4 percent.
b. Case B: Market interest rate (annual): 6 percent.
c. Case C: Market interest rate (annual): 8.5 percent.
At 4% issue price is $583,502.44
At 6% issue price is $501,500.00
At 8% issue price is $433,344.51
Explanation:
The price of the bond can be computed using the pv value formula in excel.
=pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the market interest given in the three cases divided by since the bond is a semi-annual interest paying bond. for example 4%/2=2%
nper is the time to maturity multiplied by 2 i.e 10*2=20
pmt is the coupon interest receivable by investor semi-annually which is 6%/2*$501,500=$15045
fv is the face value at $501,500
at 4%
=pv(2%,20,15045,501500)
=$583,502.44
at 6%
=pv(3%,20,15045,501500)
=$501,500.00
At 8%
=pv(4%,20,15045,501500)
=$433,344.51
Answer:
The correct answer is the third statement which says to maximize profits, the firm should produce less than 500 units.
Explanation:
The quantity of output produced is 500 units.
The marginal cost of producing 500 units is $1.50.
The minimum average variable cost is $1.
The price of the product is $1.25.
The firm will be at equilibrium when the price is equal to marginal cost. To maximize profits firm should decrease output to the extent that marginal cost comes to $1.25. At that point, the firm will earn profits as average variable cost is lower than the price.
Answer:
$1,545,000
Explanation:
The formula to compute the cost of the building equal to
Rate of return = (Rental income - expenses) ÷ (cost of building
)
where,
Rate of return = 8%
Rental income equals to
= ($600 × 4 units + $750 × 4 units + $725 × 4 units + $800 × 4 units) × 12 months
= $138,000
Total expense
= $1,200 × 12 month
= $14,400
Now the cost of building would be
8% = ($138,000 - $14,400) ÷ (cost of building
)
8% = $123,600
So, the cost of building equal to $1,545,000
Answer:
Different aspects to be considered:
First of all, the steakhouse probably has the most clients between 6 to 8 PM, that is why discounts are not offered during that time.
Second, the discount is offered to only a certain group, employees of other stores, because it is a promotional strategy aimed at increasing the number of clients during slow hours. Since this is a fancy place, it is probably expensive also. Most employees would not actually eat there except on a special event, e.g. birthday or anniversary dinner. Even with the 20% discount, not many of them will actually eat there.
This is something nice to offer, since a shopping mall is a close environment where a lot of different people work together, even if very few will actually take the offer. It is normal that different stores have distinct promotions for the employees that work there. It is similar to offering perks that help create a better working environment between the employees of different stores.
