Answer:
Negative linear
Explanation:
Negative linear is when two variables move in the opposite direction. Movement by one variable causes the other to move in the opposite direction. Negative linear is similar to an indirect relationship between the variable. For Bungerjoy, the variables are price and sales of hamburgers.
An observation has been made that if the price of hamburgers decreases, the sales increase. Changes in the price of the hamburgers will result in sales moving in the opposite direction. Positive linear correction is when two variables move in the same direction.

Complete question:
Assume that the Texas legislature is not in session and the economy has gone into recession. What must occur before legislators can act to reformulate policy
A. The legislature as a body must wait for the comptroller to decertify the budget.
B. The legislature must wait for a special session to be called.
C. The legislature must wait for economic conditions to deteriorate to a point where a constitutional provision allowing deficit spending kicks in.
D. The legislature must wait until the federal government increases monies for state governments.
Answer:
The legislature must wait for a special session to be called.
Explanation:
Once the Texas legislature passes a budget and the governor has acted, after 6 months does the budget go into effect.
The Texas legislature passed a law that requires that an agency take a specific action in order to solve a problem. At formulation stage of the policy making process did the passage of this law occur
A special session (also a exceptional session) in a parliamentary term is a time when the assembly meets outside the usual legislative session. Anyone holding a special meeting would be subject to different requirements, such as by a legislative vote in a normal session, the president, or the presiding officer of the legislature.
Answer:
Coupon (R) = 6.8% x 10,000 = $680
Face value (FV) = $10,000
Number of times coupon is paid in a year (m) = 2
No of years to maturity = 8 years
Yield to maturity (Kd) = 8% = 0.08
Po = R/2(1- (1 + r/m)-nm) + FV/ (1+r/m)n
m
r/m
Po = 680/2(1-(1+0.08/2)-8x2) + 10,000/(1 + 0.08/2
)8x2
0.08/2
Po = 340(1 - (1 + 0.04)-16) + 10,000/(1 + 0.04)16
0.04
Po = 340(1-0.5339) + 10,000/1.8730
0.04
Po = 3,961.85 + 5,339.03
Po = $9,300.88
Explanation:
The current market price of a bond is a function of the present value of semi-annual coupon and present value of the face value. The present value of semi-annual coupon is obtained by multiplying the coupon by the present value of annuity factor at 8% for 8 years. The present value of face value is obtained by discounting the face value at the discount factor for 8 years. The addition of the two gives the present value of the bond. All these explanations have been captured by the formula.
Answer:
Project A
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 250,000 1 -250,000
1-10 45,100 6.144 277,094.40
Sum of all present value=NPV=27,094.40
IRR (by using trial and error method) = 12.4696%
Note: Discount factor for the year 1-10 is calculated by using annuity formula i.e [1-(1+10%)]/10% = 6.144
Project B
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 (350,000) 1 (350,000)
1 72,500 0.91 65,975
2 65,500 0.83 54,365
3 73,800 0.75 55,350
4 71,500 0.68 48,620
5 69,800 0.62 43,276
6 75,500 0.56 42,280
7 31,000 0.51 15,810
8 47,500 0.47 22,325
9 55,500 0.42 23,310
10 29,200 0.38 11,096
Sum of all present values=NPV=32,407
IRR(by using trial and error method=12.4186%
On the basis of NPV project B is better because it gives higher NPV than project A. Whereas, Project A is better than project B on the basis of IRR because project A has slightly higher IRR than project B.
b)The conflict between both the investment appraisal technique is likely due to different cash flow patterns of both the project. In such situation decision should be based on NPV because this is an absolute measure
