Answer:

Ai.Zero coupon bonds = 68.75%

Aii. Perpetuity= 0.3125

Bi. Zero coupon bonds = 70.58%

Bii. Perpetuity= 0.2942

Explanation:

ai. Calculation for How much of the zero-coupon bond

Duration of Zero Coupon Bond = 5 years

Duration of Perpetuity = 1.05/0.05 = 21 years

Using this formula

Dp=W×D1 +(1-W)×D2

Let plug in the formula

10 = 5w + (1 - w)21

10 = 5w + 21 - 21w

21w-10w=21-5

11w=16

w=11/16

w = 0.6875*100

w=68.75%

Zero coupon bonds = 68.75%

Therefore How much of the zero-coupon bond

you hold in your portfolio will be 68.75%

aii. Calculation for the perpetuity you will hold in your portfolio

Perpetuity= 1 - 0.6875

Perpetuity= 0.3125

Therefore the perpetuity you will hold in your portfolio will be 0.3125

bi. Calculation for how will these fractions change next year if target duration is now nine years

Duration of Zero Coupon Bond = (5 -1) =4years

Duration of Perpetuity = 1.05/0.05 = 21 years

Using this formula

Dp=W×D1 +(1-W)×D2

Let plug in the formula

9 = 4w + (1 - w)21

9 = 4w + 21 - 21w

21w-9w=21-4

12w=17

w=12/17

w = 0.7058×100

w=70.58%

Zero coupon bonds = 70.58%

Therefore How much of the zero-coupon bond

you hold in your portfolio will be 70.58%

bii. Calculation for the perpetuity you will hold in your portfolio

Perpetuity= 1 - 0.7058

Perpetuity= 0.2942

Therefore the perpetuity you will hold in your portfolio will be 0.2942

Ben Gordon, Inc. manufactures 2 products, wheels and seats. The company has estimated its overhead in the assembling department
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

$90,000

Explanation:

We could allocate assembly overhead on the basis of the parts used in the assembly process:

wheels ⇒ 300,000 x 2 parts = 600,000 parts

<u>seats ⇒ 600,000 x 3 parts = 1,800,000 parts</u>

total parts assembled     2,400,000 parts

overhead costs per part assembled = $360,000 / 2,400,000 parts = $0.15 per part

so the overhead allocated to wheels should be = 600,000 parts x $0.15 per part = $90,000

Identify a major transportation problem in any vicinty in ghana or the world (safety, infrastructure, vehicles, policies and so
podryga [215]

The Major problem facing transportation in Ghana and around the world is the human capital and infrastructural issues.

<h3>Human Capital</h3>

   The importance of Human capital cannot be overemphasized in curbing the problems of transportation in Ghana and the world at large. Human capital must interface with physical capital to bring about good transport systems because physical capital will always remain out of existence without the input of human capital.

<h3>Infrastructure</h3>

Transport infrastructure is generally lacking in Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa. There is absence of well developed and functional infrastructure to drive the transport system. Such infrastructure include fast trains, durable roads etc.
