Answer: -12.1%
Explanation:
Bond Sam was priced at Par which means it could have been priced at $1,000 and its yield was the same as the coupon rate of 8%.
If interest rates rise by 5%, the yield becomes:
= 8% + 5%
= 13%
Price of bond is attached:
Yield = 13% /2 = 6.5% per semiannual period
Coupon = 8% * 1,000 * 0.5 = $40 per semi annual period
Period till maturity = 3 * 2 = 6 semiannual periods
Price = $878.97
Percentage change in price:
= (878.97 - 1,000) / 1,000 * 100%
= -12.1%
Answer:
Lower price for new houses.
Explanation:
The decrease in the income of people will decrease the demand for houses and the demand curve will shift leftwards. Meanwhile, the decrease in the wages for carpenters, plumbers, etc will decrease the cost of production so the producer will supply more when the cost of production decreases. So supply curve will shift rightwards. Resulting there will be lower prices due to shifts in the leftward demand curve and rightward supply curve.
Answer:please refer to the explanation section
Explanation:
direct labor hours = 39000 hours
Finished Goods = 13000 units
direct labour hours per unit = 3 hours
Direct Labor cost per hour = $12
Direct Labor Cost = 13000 units x 3 hours x $12 = $ 468000.
William corporation will pay $480000 (40000 x $12) as per the contract agreement with labour union but Direct Labor cost to be capitalized on Cost of Finished Goods is $ 468000. The cost of $ 12000 should be treated as an expense
Solution :
a). At the break even units, the total contribution margin = fixed expenses
We know that : (Selling price - variable cost) x units sold = fixed expenses
i.e. (20-14)x = 225,000
6x = 225,000
x = 37,500
Therefore, the number of units sold, x = 37,500
So, the break even analysis = 37,500 x 20
= 750,000
b). 

= 30%
The Breakeven sales = 

= 750,000
c). 

= 37.5%
d). Units needed :



units
Therefore, the sales required = 62,500 x 20
= 125,000
