Answer:

Missing question "<em>If the interest rates increase by 50 basis points, What will be the percent change in price for the bond? Why? "</em>

Modified Duration = Macaulay Duration / (1 + YTM)

Modified Duration = 7.2 / (1 + 10%)

Modified Duration = 7.2 / (1 + 10%)

Modified Duration = 6.55

% Change in Bond Price = - Modified Duration x Change in int rates

% Change in Bond Price = - 6.55 x 0.5%

% Change in Bond Price = - 3.27%

Thus, the Interest rates and bond prices are inversely related. Hence, increase in interest rates would lead to decline in bond prices.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: their domestic consumers are demanding

Explanation:

In Porter's Diamond Strategy, he explains why some nations are more competitive than others. One of the factors mentioned was the DEMAND CONDITIONS.

He posited that home demand has a huge influence on how favourable domestic industries are.

How?

A larger market at home presents companies with challenges as well as more opportunities to grow and become better and more efficient.

Striving to satiate such a demand will enable companies to scale new heights and they will learn more about consumer behavior much quicker. They will then use this knowledge to apply and conquer new markets thanks to being forced to adapt early by their own domestic market.

QS 8-7 Computing revised depreciation LO C2 On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,200 for sound equipment. The band estimates
seraphim [82]

Answer:

$25,280 per year

Explanation:

The computation of the revised depreciation for both the second and third years is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

Depreciation for year 1 = [Cost – Salvage Value] ÷Useful Life

= [$65,200 - 2,000] ÷ 5 Years

= $12,640

Now Book Value at point of revision is

= Cost - First year depreciation

= $65,200 - $12,640

= $52,560

Now

Remaining Depreciable Cost = Book Value at the point of revision - Salvage Value

= $52,560 – 2,000

= $50,560

And, finally Depreciation per year for Year 2 and 3 is

= Depreciable cost / Remaining useful life

= $50,560 ÷  2 Year

= $25,280 per year
