For computing the new price of the bond we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Assuming Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 8.6%  ÷ 2 = 4.3%

NPER = 8 years  × 2 =

PMT = $1,000 × 6.5% ÷ 2  = $32.5

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Have you ever heard the phrase "there are lies, [email protected] lies and statistics"?

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

-1.33

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good X to changes in price of good Y.

Cross price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / percentage change in price of good Y

Percentage change in quantity demanded = (1700 / 1350) - 1 = 0.2593 = 25.93%

Percentage change in price = (1.65 / 2.05) - 1 = -0.1951 = -19.51%

25.93% / -19.51% = -1.33

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The answer is

A. 26.46%

B. $5,958,354.88

Explanation:

A.

IRR = CFo/(1 + IRR)^0 + CF1/(1 + IRR)^1 + CF2/(1 + IRR)^2 + CF3/(1 + IRR)^3 + CF4/(1 + IRR)^4 + CF5/(1 + IRR)^5

CFo = -$10,000,000

CF1 = $3,000,000

CF2 = $3,500,000

CF3 = $4,000,000

CF4 = $4,900,000

CF5 = $5,000,000

Using a financial calculator;

IRR = 26.46%

B.

NPV = -CFo + CF1/(1+ r)^1 + CF2/(1 +r)^2 + CF3/(1 + r)^3 + CF4/(1 + r)^4 + CF5/(1 + r)^5

CFo = -$10,000,000

CF1 = $3,000,000

CF2 = $3,500,000

CF3 = $4,000,000

CF4 = $4,900,000

CF5 = $5,000,000

Using a financial calculator;

NPV = $5,958,354.88
