Answer:
6.11%
Explanation:
For computing the variance, first we have to determine the expected return which is shown below:
= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)
= (12% × 5%) + (10% × 85%) + (2% × 10%)
= 0.6% + 8.5% + 0.2%
= 9.30%
Now the variance would equal to the
= Weightage × (Return - Expected Return) ^2
For boom:
= 5% × (12% - 9.3%) ^2
= 0.3645
For normal economy:
= 85% × (10% - 9.3%) ^2
= 0.4165
For recession:
= 10% × (2% - 9.3%) ^2
= 5.329
So, the total variance would be
= 0.3645 + 0.4165 + 5.329
= 6.11%
Answer:
exports are $15 billion, and imports are $10.5 billion
Explanation:
GDP is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.
GDP = Consumption + Investment spending + Government Spending + Net Export
14 billion = 4.5 billion + $3 billion + $2 billion + Net Export
Net Export = $4.5 billion
Net Export = export - import
Net Export is positive so it indicates that exports is greater than imports.
Going through the options, it is only option d that is equal to 4.5 and the export is greater than the import.

Answer:
b) The company will incur a loss
Explanation:
The market rate at the time of issue = 9%, while coupon rate = 8%, it says bonds provide lesser return when compared to the market rate.
At end of year 2 market rate drops to 6% which is lower than the Bond's coupon rate. Which means the bond's providing high return when compared to the market. So, company to retire the bonds need to pay more than the par value.
As company should retire these bonds more than par value, the company incur a loss.
Option 'B is correct
The company incur a loss

Answer:
Explanation:
interest rates on a three-year bond =(int in year1+int in year2+int in year3)/n = (3+4.5+6)/3 =4.8%
interest rates on a six-year bond = (3%+4.5%+6% +7.5%+ 9%+ 10.5%)/6 = 7.35%
interest rates on a nine-year bond = (3%+4.5%+ 6%+ 7.5%+ 9%+ 10.5%+ 13%+ 14.5%+16%)/9 =10.23%
So, int rate on a 3 year bond is 4.8%; on a 6 year bond is 7.35%; on a 9 year bond 10.23%
