Answer:

Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>

1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.

PV * (1 + S1) = FV

1 + S1 = 1000 / 900

S1 = 1.1111 - 1

S1 = 0.1111  

S1 = 11.11%

1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950

Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50

950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2

950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2

1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905

(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905

1 + S2 = 1.160221/2

S2 = 7.714%

1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586

Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92

Suppose that a firm produces 10 units of output. Its Average Variable Cost (AVC) = $25, Average Fixed Cost (AFC) = $5, and Margi
Andreyy89

Answer:

Total Cost  = $300

Average Total Cost = $30  

correct option is a.) Total cost is $300

Explanation:

given data

produces output = 10 units

Marginal Cost = $30

Average Variable Cost = $25

Average Fixed Cost = $5

solution

first we get here total cost that is

Total Cost = Total Variable Cost + Total Fixed Cost    .................................1

so here Total Variable Cost = Average Variable Cost × Output    

Total Variable Cost = $25 ×  10

Total Variable Cost =  $250

and total fix cost is = Average Fixed Cost × Output

total fix cost = $5 × 10 =

total fix cost = $50

so Total Cost is here

Total Cost  = $250 + $50

Total Cost  = $300

A) is correct

and

Average Total Cost will be

Average Total Cost = \frac{total\ cost}{out\ put}    ...................2

Average Total Cost = \frac{300}{10} = $30

Average Total Cost = $30

STatiana [176]

<u>Answer:</u>Net Bi weekly pay is $519

<u>Explanation:</u>

Calculation of weekly pay

Given

No of hours 20

Per hour pay $15

Weekly pay = 15 x 20

=$300

Payment received is bi weekly so it is $600 for two weeks.

Calculation of bi weekly net pay

Federal income tax rate    (600 x  4.87%)                $29

State income tax rate         (570 x   1.04%)                $6

FICA and state insurance taxes (564 x 7.65%)         $46

Total deductions                                                          $81

Net pay = Bi weekly salary - deductions

=600-81

=$519

Net Bi weekly pay or take home after deductions is $519
