Answer:

5.32%

Explanation:

The computation of the coupon rate on the bonds is shown below:

As we know that

Current price = Annual coupon × Present value of annuity factor(6.1%,8 ) + $1,000 × Present value of discounting factor(6.1%,8)

$952 = Annual coupon × 6.18529143 + $1,000 × 0.622697222

Annual coupon is

= ($952 - 622.697222) ÷ 6.18529143

= $53.24

Now

Coupon rate is

= Annual coupon ÷ Face value

= $53.24 ÷ $1,000

= 5.32%

Working notes:

1. Present value of annuity is

= Annuity × [1 - (1 + interest rate)^-time period] ÷ rate

= Annual coupon × [1 - (1.061)^-8] ÷ 0.061

= Annual coupon × 6.18529143

And,

2.Present value of discounting factor is

= $1,000 ÷ 1.061^8

= $1000 × 0.622697222

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

8.78

Explanation:

The computation of the cash cycle is given below;

We know that

Cash cycle = Inventory conversion period + Receivables conversion period - Payables conversion period.

Here

1. Inventory conversion period = Avg. Inventory ÷ (COGS ÷365)

= (11,000) ÷ (395000 ÷ 365)

= 10.16

2. Receivables conversion period = Avg. Accounts Receivable ÷ (Credit Sales × 365)

= (27000/520000) × 365

= 18.95

3. Payables conversion period = Avg. Accounts Payable ÷ (Purchases  × 365)

= (22000 ÷ 395000) × 365

= 20.33

Now the cash cycle is

= 10.16 + 18.95 - 20.33

= 8.78

You have $130,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expect
Finger [1]

Answer:

Let X be the amount invested in stock A

Let 1-X be the amount invested in stock B

Expected rate = (Required rate of X* X) + (Required ratebof Y * (1-X))

0.146 = (0.128 * X) + (0.078 * (1-X))

0.146 = 0.128X + 0.078 -  0.078X

0.146 - 0.078 = 0.128X - 0.078X

X = 0.068/0.05

X = 1.36

Amount to be invested in Stick X = $130,000 * 1.36

= $176,000

Amount to be invested in Stock Y = (1-X) * Available amount

= (1-1.36) * $130,000

= $46,800

Therefore, the amount to be invested in Stick Y = -$46,800

Calculation of the portfolio beta

bp = w1b1 + w2b2 + ........ + wnbn

bp = (1.36*1.3) + ((-0.36) * 1.05)

bp = 1.768 - 0.378

bp = 1.29

Therefore, the portfolio beta is 1.39

Real GDP is the value of final goods and services produced in a year expressed in the prices of that same year. during a recessi
laila [671]

Answer:

The correct answer is: expressed in the prices of a base year.

Explanation:

Real GDP is an inflation-adjusted measure to calculate changes in economic output. It calculates the value of final goods and services produced in an economy in a year expressed in the prices of a base year.

Real GDP does not include changes in the price of products as it is calculated at constant prices.  

Nominal GDP, on the other hand, is calculated on the basis of current prices. It includes changes in prices and is not inflation-adjusted. That is why real GDP is preferred over nominal GDP.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

For both 10,000 units and 20,000 units, the best alternative is Vendor B

Explanation:

Using the information provided in the question, we can write the following:

Annual Volume of 10,000 units

Internal Alternative 1

Variable costs = 170,000 (we multiply the variable cost per unit by total units)

Fixed costs = 20,000

Total costs = 370,000

Internal Alternative 2

Variable costs = 140,000

Fixed costs = 240,000

Total costs = 380,000

Vendor A

Total cost = 200,000 (we simply multiply the price by the quantity)

Vendor B

Total cost = 180,000

Vendor C

Total cost = 190,000

The cheapest option is Vendor B

Now for the 20,000 units:

Internal Alternative 1

Variable costs = 340,000

Fixed costs = 200,000

Total costs = 540,000

Internal Alternative 2

Variable costs = 280,000

Fixed costs = 240,000

Total costs = 520,000

Vendor A

Total cost = 400,000

Vendor B

Total cost = 360,000

Vendor C

Total cost = 380,000

Therefore, Vendor B is once again, the cheapest alternative.
