Answer:

Current yield = 0.05238 or 5.238% rounded off to 5.24%

option B is the correct answer

Explanation:

The current yield is the return on investment in form of interest or dividend expressed as a percentage of the current market value of the instrument. Thus the formula for current yield on a bond will be,

Current yield = Interest per year / Current market price

Assuming that the value of bond is 100. The interest or coupon payment on bond will be = 100 * 5.5% = $5.5 per annum

Current yield = 5.5 / 105 = 0.05238 or 5.238% rounded off to 5.24%

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The expected profit is -$13,162.

I would not recomend the investor to make this investment.

Explanation:

The expected profit can be calculated multypling the probabilities of every outcome and the profit of each outcome, and substracting the total invevstment.

The outcomes are:

1) probability 0.39 of a $23,000 loss,

2) probability 0.24 of a $8700 profit,

3) probability 0.12 of a $31,000 profit, and

4) probability 0.25 of breaking even

NOTE: It is assumed that the outcomes does not include the initial investment.

Then, the expected profit of this investment is:

E(P)=[0.39*(-23,000)+0.24*8,700+0.12*31,000+0.25*0]-10,000\\\\E(P)=[-8,970+2,088+3,720+0]-10,000\\\\E(P)=-3,162-10,000\\\\E(P)=-13,162

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option A) charging slightly lower price and raising production .

Explanation:

A cartel can be defined as a group of firms , that join forces together to decide what level of output should be produced and at what prices they should be sold at. A cartel generally forms in oligopoly market where there are few firms in the market and they all have significant share in the market.

Reason why firms join forces together is because they want to have more dominant position in the market and increase the market power. So these type of cartels forms a monopoly n the market and earn high profits. But there are always chance of firms cheating each other in market, by either increasing the production or decreasing the price by a small percent, which will allow them to earn more profits.
