Answer: Third
Explanation:
Diminishing returns to labor refers to the phenomenon where every additional worker leads to an increase in production at a decreasing rate.
Using the scenario described, when there was only one employee the company could mow 4 lawns a day. They added a 2nd worker and that figure went to 9 lawns a day which is an increase of FIVE.
When they added a 3rd worker, the figure again went up but only to 12 which is an increase of THREE only as opposed to the last increase of FIVE.
After the third worker therefore, there was an increase but at a smaller rate.
Answer:
The YTM is less than 10%
Explanation:
If a coupon rate of a bond is greater than its yield to maturity (YTM), the bond is said to trade at a premium. The Bond's current price would be greater than its Face value
If a coupon rate of a bond is less than its yield to maturity (YTM), the bond is said to trade at a discount. The bonds current price would be less than its face value
In this Question, the bond's current price ($1,197.93) is greater than its face
($1,000) which means that the bond is trading at a premium. Therefore, we can conclude that the bond's YTM is less than its coupon payment. In this question the coupon rate is 10%, therefore the YTM should be less than 10%.
Amount invested in both schemes is $45,000
returns in investment g is 75,000 in 6 years.
yearly return is:
75000/6=12,500
returns in investment h is 105,000 in 9 years
yearly return is:
105,000/9
=11,666.67
from the above results we can conclude that investment g has the higher returns.
