Answer:

cheaper labor

Explanation:

Until the recent past, cotton production was labor-intensive. Factories needed to hire many casual laborers to assist them in the production process. The US has always had a minimum wage policy. Because the factories had to adopt the minimum wage policy, the labor expense became unsustainable. Cotton factories had to relocate to other countries such as China, where labor was affordable.

Leona [35]

Answer:

P₀ = $106.96

Explanation:

the current dividend paid by IBM was $6.30 per stock

Div₀ = $6.30

Div₁ = $6.615

Div₂ = $6.94575

Div₃ = $7.2930375

Div₄ = $7.657689375

Div₅ = $8.040573844

Div₆ = $8.321993928

we must first determine the terminal value at year 5 = Div₆ / (rrr - g) = $8.321993928 / (10% - 3.5%) = $128.0306758

now we must discount the future values using the 10% discount rate:

P₀ = $6.615/1.1 + $6.94575/1.1² + $7.2930375/1.1³ + $7.657689375/1.1⁴ + $8.040573844/1.1⁵ + $128.0306758/1.1⁵ = $6.013 + $5.740 + $5.479 + $5.230 + $4.993 + $79.50 = $106.96

Bob is evaluating a bond issue to determine the right price for the bond. In his evaluation, he gathers the following informatio
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The price of the bond is $1000. Thus, option a is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The price of a bond is calculated using the present value of the interest payments made by the bond, which is in the form of an annuity, plus the present value of the face value of the bond. The present value is calculated by discounting the annuity of interest and the face value by the YTM or yield to maturity. In case YTM is not provided, we assume that it is same as or equal to the coupon rate paid by the bond.

The formula for the price of the bond is attached.

Bond Price = 25 * [(1 - (1+0.025)^-8) / 0.025]  +  1000 / (1+0.025)^8

Bond Price = $1000
