Answer:

D. The GDP deflator but not the CPI

What is the problem with companies pursuing patents specifically to hinder, or prevent, competition?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:According to the article, when companies earn patents specifically to prevent competition, it hinders the innovation of products that might actually be better. For instance, Bruce Nolop describes how his company had to pay more attention to the "minefield of existing patents than on the expected value that we could bring to customers." Rosabeth Moss Kanter suggests a "use it or lose it" solution to this problem. She thinks that a company that patents an item would be forced to use the patented idea or product or risk losing the patent. This idea would encourage more competition and prevent patent abuse.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

YTM = 6.42%

Explanation:

current market value = $1,000 x 98% = $980

n = (15 - 2) x 2 = 26

coupon = $1,000 x 6.2% x 1/2 = $31

face value = $1,000

YTM = [coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

YTM = [31 + [(1,000 - 980)/26]} / [(1,000 + 980)/2]

YTM = (31 + 0.77) / 990 = 31.77 / 990 = 0.03209 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.641818 = 6.42%
