gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The 52 of its portfolio should be allocated to the zero-coupon bonds to immunie if there are no other assets funding the plan.

Explanation:

the duration of the perpetuity = (1+YTM)/YTM

                                                  = (1+0.04)/0.04

                                                  = 26 years

the weights of the bonds = w

5*w + 26*(1-w) = 15

5*w + 26 - 26*w = 15

21*w =  11

w = 0.52

Therefore, The 52 of its portfolio should be allocated to the zero-coupon bonds to immunie if there are no other assets funding the plan.

How did the New Deal change things for American Workers?
DochEvi [55]

The New Deal changed the role of government completely.  Before the New Deal, government had essentially no role in steering the economy or in providing for the people.  After the New Deal, the government has come to play a huge role in both of these things.

Before the New Deal, the government was expected to be more or less laissez-faire.  It was supposed to just stay out of the way and let the economy rise or fall "naturally."  If people were too old to work, they needed to rely on family.  If a bank failed, its depositors were out of luck.  The New Deal changed all of that.

Income Statement

                                   Actual                Budgeted            Variances

Sales                          510,400                 $ 519,000              8,600 U

Variable product costs    183400             188,000                 4,600 F        

Variable selling expense   48100              46,000                  2,100 U

Other variable expenses  5100                  3,300                  1,800 U

Contribution Margin      273,800              281,700              7,900 unfav

Fixed product costs   15460                       15,700                  240 F

Fixed selling expense   22920                   23,400                 480 F

Operating Income      235420                    242,600          7,180  unfav

Other fixed expenses   1460                       1,300                 160 U

Interest expense            710                          800                   90 F      

Net income                 233,250                  240,500           7,250 unfav

We calculate the actual amounts from the budgeted amount by adding the variances when they are unfavorable and subtracting them when they are favorable . But in case of sales this is reversed. The actual sales are calculated by   subtracting unfavorable variance from budgeted sales.

The fav amounts are subtracted from the unfav amounts to get the results .

8,600 u + ( 4,600)F + 2,100 U +1,800= 7,900 unfav
