Answer:

A. The travel industry changed from a consolidated structure to a fragmented one.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the speaker talks of the change in the way travels are managed. Initially, few large travel agencies took control of the way travel is arranged, from booking tickets to managing hotel rooms.

But as the internet grew and many people are able to access it, travels, accommodations, etc. are being managed by the individuals themselves or even smaller travel agencies are able to do the work without the need for such large companies to be involved.

This shows that the travel industry changed from a consolidated, large companies structure to a fragmented one, that of smaller agencies and even individuals themselves.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Aaron promises to sell his boat to Matt, and Matt promises to buy it from Aaron. What type of contract is this? Group of answer
Minchanka [31]

Answer: c. A bilateral contract

Explanation:

In a bilateral contract, the parties involved promise to both perform duties to the other which will make them both an obligor and an obligee.

An obligor is one who owes a duty to another and the obligee is one who a duty is owed to.

Aaron both owes a duty to sell the boat to Matt as well as being owed by Matt the duty to buy his boat. The same goes for Matt thus making this a bilateral contract.

kifflom [539]

Microhard has issued a bond with the following characteristics: Par: $1,000 Time to maturity: 21 years Coupon rate: 9 percent Semiannual payments Calculate the price of this bond if the YTM is  6% (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.):

Answer:

Price of bond = $982.63

Explanation:

<em>The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV). </em>

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond for Microhard can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

PV of interest payments

Semi annul interest payment  

= 9% × 1000 × 1/2 = 45

Semi-annual yield = 6%/2 = 3 % per six months

Total period to maturity (in months)

= (2 × 21) = 42 periods

PV of interest =  

45 × (1- (1+0.03)^(-21)/0.03)= 693.6

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value

= 1000 × (1.03)^(-21×2) =288.95

Price of bond

= 693.6 + 288.95 =982.63

Price of bond = $982.63
