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
Answer: digital content transmitted online.
Explanation: This is a new type of communication that allows users to communicate with large audiences online simultaneously. This is done using social media platforms. This is often done in 2 ways: a platform where the audience can watch and react in real time, or a platform where the audience can only watch and listen.

An example of this on social media right now is Instagram live.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
I think you've already figured this out for yourself, but I thought I'd answer anyway and maybe clarify some things.
Supply is the total amount of a <u>good or service</u> that is available to consumers.
- Think about it: goods are physical things bought and sold, like apples. Services are actions done for another person, like taxi driving or renting a used car.
- None of the other answers make sense: a "device" is not a strictly defined term in economics; an "industry" can't be available to consumers, and a "warranty" isn't applicable.
Answer: The correct answer is "d. equal to average cost, including the opportunity cost of capital.".
Explanation: In the long run the prices charged by a firm in monopolistic competition will be equal to average cost, including the opportunity cost of capital.
In long-term monopolistic competition, the demand curve will be tangent to the average long-term cost and the price set at this level. The benefits will be equal to zero and therefore there will be no entry or exit of companies.
Answer:
economic (or business) cycles are less severe.
Explanation:
If the wages follow the general price level, it means that they will follow the inflation rate. When the economy is strong and inflation might rise, then the wages should increase accordingly. When the economy is starting to enter a recession then the inflation rate will reduce, so wages will not increase as much (if any increase at all).
This type of economic policy favors expansion cycles since private consumption is the main component of the GDP and also helps when the economy enters a recession because the wages will follow inflation rate which will help make the recession less severe and hopefully shorter.
One basic concept for this to work is that inflation is always a positive number, countries rarely (if ever) go through deflation processes.
