Answer:

7.44 %

Explanation:

The Yield to Maturity (YTM) is the Interest rate that makes the Present Value of Coupons and Principle equal the Market Price or Current Price of the Bond.

The Yield to Maturity can be calculated using a financial calculator as follows :

PV = - $100

N = (15 -2) × 2 = 26

PMT = ($100 ×  7.30%) ÷ 2 = $3.65

FV = $103

P/YR = 2

YTM = ?

Therefore, Inputting the values in the calculator as shown gives the Yield to Maturity is 7.44 %.

Answer: $10,000 and $25,000

Explanation:

DEPRECIATION FOR 2022.

Straight line method of depreciation means it depreciates by the same amount every year. You can calculate by

(Cost - Residual Value) / useful life.

=($45,000 - $5,000) / 4

= $10,000.

Each year the framing machine reduces by $10,000 meaning in 2022 the depreciation will be $10,000.

BOOK VALUE AT DECEMBER 31, 2022

We've established that every year the value drops by $10,000.

On December 31, 2021, it dropped by $10,000.

On December 31, 2022, it dropped by another $10,000.

Adding that together gives you 10,000 + 10,000 = $20,000.

$20,000 is the total depreciation at the end of 2022.

Subtract that figure from the cost,

=$45,000-$20,000

=$25,000.

BOOK VALUE ON DECEMBER 31, 2022 is $25,000.

Why net profit will be higher if increases average prices to customers?​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Higher prices with same sales quantity will mean greater profit.

Explanation:

Let's hold some variables constant. If a business sells books, and they take the prices up, if they sell the same quantity (at higher prices) this would increase revenues. Higher revenues, less the same cost structure (variable and fixed costs) will lead to a greater profit generation. Of course in the real world, price elasticity of demand comes in play when prices are changed. If prices go up, typically sales quantity will decrease and there may be a net effect in revenue and hence profit. In the simple case where prices go up and sales quantity is unaffected, net profit will rise.
