A certain delivery service offers both express and standard delivery. Seventy-five percent of parcels are sent by standard deliv

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Probability, P(n) = 3/8

Explanation: Let standard delivery be S and express delivery be E.

I) When the parcels were sent:

S(n) = 75/100 and E(n) = 25/100

II) When the parcels arrived:

S(n)← = 80/100 and E(n)← = 95/100

The probability a record of a parcel delivery is chosen, P(n) = S(n)*E(n) + E(n)*S(n) = 75/100*25/100 + 25/100*75/100

P(n) = 3/16 + 3/16 = 6/16

∴ P(n) = 3/8

______has an absolute advantage in the production of alfalfa, and_______ has an absolute advantage in the production of barley.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The person with Absolute advantage is the one that produces more of a good than the other.

Dina has an absolute advantage in the production of alfalfa, and Charles has an absolute advantage in the production of barley.

The person with Comparative Advantage is the person who produces something at a lower opportunity cost.

Charles Opportunity Costs

Producing Alfalfa gives 12 bushels per acre instead of 6 bushels for Barley.

Producing 1 Alfalfa means 6/12 = 0.5 bushels Barley is given up

Producing 1 bushel of Barley means 12/6 = 2 bushels Alfalfa is given up.

Dina Opportunity Costs

Producing Alfalfa gives 15 bushels per acre instead of 5 bushels for Barley.

Producing 1 Alfalfa means 5/15 = 0.33 bushels of Barley is given up

Producing 1 bushel of Barley means 15/5 = 3 bushels of Alfalfa is given up.

Charles's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of barley is 2 bushels of alfalfa, whereas Dina's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of barley is 3 bushels of alfalfa. Because Charles has lower a opportunity cost of producing barley than Dina, Charlie has a comparative advantage in the production of barley, and Dina has a comparative advantage in the production of alfalfa.

Suppose you purchase a 10-year bond with 6.5 % annual coupons. You hold the bond for four years, and sell it immediately after

Andrews [41]

Answer:

a. What cash flows will you pay and receive from your investment in the bond per $ 100 face value?

Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4

-$109,13 $6,50 $6,50 $6,50 $112,53 (6,5+106,03)

b. What is the annual rate of return of your investment?

5,3%, the YTM of the bond.

Explanation:

If the YTM of the bond does not change during the year, it means that at the time the bond was sold, the total rate of return would be the same as was when the bonds were purchased, in this case 5,3%.

Bond Value

Principal Present Value = F / (1 + r)^t

Coupon Present Value = C x [1 - 1/(1 +r)^t] / r

Price of the Bond at the moment it was purchased:

The price of this bond it's $59,66 + $6,5 = $109,13

Present Value of Bonds $59,66 = $100/(1+0,053)^10

Present Value of Coupons $49,47 = $6,5 (Coupon) x 7,61

7,61 = [1 - 1/(1+0,053)^10 ]/ 0,053

Price of the Bond 4 years later:

The price of this bond it's $73,66 + $32,68 = $106,03

Present Value of Bonds $73,66 = $100/(1+0,053)^6

Present Value of Coupons $32,68 = $6,50 (Coupon) x 5,03

5,03 = [1 - 1/(1+0,053)^6 ]/ 0,053

The marketplace sets the price for wheat, so farmers who are trying to sell their wheat crops do not need a pricing strategy and

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

The only kind of market structure where the price is set by market forces and not the firms is pure competition. The firms in other market structures such as oligopoly, monopoly and monopolistic competition are price setters.

The market for wheat is a pure competition as there is a large number of sellers who are producing identical products. The firms are price takers and the price is determined by market forces.
