Answer:
As a result of an increase in the YTM, the price of the bond will fall $4677.19 from to $4593.67
Explanation:
The bonds are valued or priced based on the present value of annuity of interest payments and the present value of the principal. Based on the YTM of 7.8% the bonds are priced at,
coupon payment = 5000 * 0.067 *1/2 = $167.5
Semiannual YTM = 7.8 *0.5 = 3.9%
Semi annual periods to maturity = 8 * 2 = 16 periods
Old Price = 167.5 * [( 1 - (1 + 0.039)^-16 + 5000 / (1+0.039)^16
Old Price = $4677.19
New semiannual YTM = 8.1% / 2 = 4.05%
New Price = 167.5 * [( 1 - (1+0.0405)^-16) / 0.0405] + 5000 / 1.0405^16
New Price = $4593.67
The correct answer should be 30 because you don't want too much pressure .
Answer:
The answer is: C) 2.5 and producers are very responsive to the price change.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply refers to what percentage does the quantity supplied change when the price of the good changes in 1%. It is calculated using the following formula:
- price elasticity = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price
Price elasticity of supply of tablets = 20% / 8% = 2.5
For every 1% that the price increases, the quantity supplied will increase by 2.5%.
Since PES > 1, the supply is very price elastic.
Price elasticity can be calculated using the attached formula where:
the first term represents the % change in quantity and the second term represents the % change in price
% change in quantity = (100-120) / (220/2) = -2/11 x 100 = -18.1818%
% change in price = (7-5) / (12/2) = 33.3333%
price elasticity = 18.1818/33.3333 = 0.55Note that the price elasticity is usually taken as an absolute value.
