Answer:

2.69%

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Face value (FV) = $1,000

Time period = 5 years

Present Value (PV) = $1,438.04

Coupon rate = 14%

Payment (pmt) = 14% × $1,000 = $140

So, by using excel function find YTM, we get

YTM = 4.13%

So, After Tax cost = Rate ( 1 - tax rate)

= 4.13% ( 1 - 35%)

= 4.13% × 65%

= 2.685% or 2.69%

Excel function is attached below.

Suppose that the price of product x rises by 20 percent and the quantity supplied of x increases by 15 percent. The coefficient
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: Coefficient of elasticity of supply is 0.75.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in the price of the good. It can be measured using the percentage point method,

e_{s} = \frac{Percentage change in Quantity supplied}{Percentage change in price}

=\frac{15}{20}

=0.75

Therefore, coefficient of elasticity of supply is 0.75. Since it is less than 1 we can infer that supply for this good is relatively inelastic.

iragen [17]

Answer:

111 pounds

Explanation:

The number of pounds Cynthia should order each day can be calculated as follows

Calculation

Standard deviation = 20

Mean = 100

Cost of actual utilization = 8-3 = 5

Cost of Under utilization = 4-2 = 2

Probability of sale = Co/(Cu+Co)

Probability of sale = 5/(5+2)

Probability of sale =0.714

Z score at above probability = z = 0.57

hence cynthia should order= mean+z*standard deviation

Order = 100+0.57*20

Order = 111.4 or 111 pounds
