Answer:

Given that Honduras is a small economy in Central America, and it keeps a fixed exchange rate with the US, and capital is perfectly mobile, but interest rates are three percent in the US and six percent in Honduras, the explanation of the difference in these interest rates are as follows:

Honduras has a higher interest rate, meaning that its sovereign bonds pay higher values than the American ones, as well as its banks also pay higher interests on their investments compared to American banks.

This is so for a double reason: on the one hand, because the Honduran economy is less reliable than the American economy, which is larger and therefore more solvent and capable of overcoming eventual crises, with which the risk of default is less.

On the other hand, the Honduran economy is more dependent on foreign investment, so it must offer higher interest rates to attract such investments.

Consider the case of Demed Inc.: Demed Inc. has 9% annual coupon bonds that are callable and have 18 years left until maturity.
solong [7]

Answer:

A) YTM = 7.64%

B) YTC = 7.36%

C) 8 years

D )   7.64%

Explanation:

Annual coupon bond rate = 9%

number of year left until maturity = 18

par value of Bonds( FV ) = $1000

current market price( PV ) = $1130.35

Demed can call bonds in 8 years at a call price of $1060

A) what is the Bonds' YTM  ( yield to maturity )

we calculate the interest per period ( PMT )

= ( Fv * Annual coupon bond rate) / number of compounding per year

= (1000 * 9% ) / 1 = $90

next we calculate number of compounding periods till maturity ( NPER )

= number of years to maturity * number of compounding per year

= 18 * 1 =  18

using excel formula = RATE ( NPER,PMT,PV,FV) )

hence yield to maturity = 7.64%

B) what is YTC ( yield to call )

we calculate the interest per period ( PMT )

= $1000 * ( coupon rate / number of compounding per year )

= $1000 * ( 9% / 1 )  = $90

 next we calculate the number of compounding periods till sell

= 8 * 1 = 8

using excel formula = RATE ( NPER,PMT,PV,FV) )

Hence the YTC = 7.36%

C) Bonds will be called at 8 years and this is because the YTC is less than YTM

D )   The coupon rate for the bonds to be issued  at par,  is  7.64%

which will typically decrease with large number of units produced, fixed costs, total variable costs, fixed cost per unit, varab
Nady [450]

Answer:

fixed cost per unit,

Explanation:

Fixed cost is cost that does not vary with output. It remains constant regardless of the units of output produced. An example of fixed cost is rent.

fixed cost per unit = fixed cost / output

Let us assume that rent (fixed cost) is $500. When output is 1 unit,  fixed cost per unit = $500 / 1 = $500

when output is 2 units,  fixed cost per unit = $500 / 2 = $250

when output is 10 units ,  fixed cost per unit = $500 / 10 = $50
