Answer:

The question is missing the par value of the Bond, tried searching online but i could not find it.

A Bond`s yield to maturity is the same as the Internal Rate of Return. It is the interest rate that will make the present value of cash flows equal to the price or initial investment. To calculate the Bond`s Yield to Maturity (YTM), we must have the Bond`s Par Value (this is missing), Year to Mature, Coupon Payment, Market Price.

Using a financial calculator, you enter the parameters as follows to calculate the YTM,

PV = $985.63

PMT = 5.825 % of par value

Period per year = 2

N = 3

FV = missing

YTM = ?

With just those steps and finally pressing I/YR button on your financial calculator you will get the yield to maturity that Ruth Lewis can  expect to earn.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

a. Labor productivity is 16.67 per hour

b. Multifactor productivity = 0.93

Explanation:

a.

Number of guitars produced = 100

Guitars good enough to sell = 80%

Number of guitars good enough to sell = 80% * 100 = 80 guitars.

Selling per price = 250

Labour hours per guitar = 12 hours

Value of output = 250 * 80 = 20.000

input in labor hourse = guitars produced * labors per guitar = 100 * 12 = 1200 hours

Labor productivity = output/input = 20.000 / 1.200 = 16.67 per hour

Therefore, labor productivity is 16.67 per hour

b.

labor cost = 11 per hour

material cost= 42 per guitar

overhead cost = 4.000

total labor cost = guitars produced* labor cost per hour*labor hours per guitar

= 100*11*12

=13.200

Total material cost = guitars produced * material cost per guitar = 100 * 42 = 4.200

Multifactor productivity = output / labour cost + material cost + overhead cost

Multifactor productivity = 20.000 / (13200 + 4200 + 4000)

Multifactor productivity = 20.000 / 21.400

Multifactor productivity = 0.93

Suppose your opportunity cost rate is 11 percent compounded annually. (a) How much must you deposit in an account today if you w
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

a. Amount = $1653.93

b. Amount = $1835.82

Explanation:

a.

The Present Value is the deposited amount of future payments.

The payments are annuity if they are made at the end of each year.

To compute the present value of an annuity with periodic payment, we'll make use of the following formula:

M(1 - (1 + r)^- T)/ r

Where

M = Periodic Payment = $230

T = Periods = 15

r = rate = 11% = 0.11

So, Amount of Deposit = 230(1 - (1 + 0.11)^-15)/0.11

Amount = 230(1 - (1.11)^-15)/0.11

Amount = 230 ( 1 - 0.209)/0.11

Amount = 230 * 0.791/0.11

Amount = 230 * 7.191

Amount = $1653.93

b.

In this case payments are made at the beginning of each period

This means that the payments are an annuity due.

To compute the present value of an annuity due with periodic payment, we'll make use of the following formula

M((1 + r) - ( 1 + r) ^ ( 1 - T))/r

Amount = 230(( 1 + 0.11) - (1 + 0.11) ^ (1 - 15))/0.11

Amount. = 230((1.11 - 1.11^-14))/0.11

Amount = 230(1.11 - 0.232)/0.11

Amount = 230 * 0.878/0.11

Amount = 201.94/0.11

Amount = $1835.82

horsena [70]

Answer:

If the bond is zero coupon then there only be one lump sum payment at the end of the bond period and we will have to discount is back using the yield of the  bond to find its present value or price. Because the convention is semi annual we will divide interest by 2 to find the semi annual interest rate and to number of periods we will multiply years by 2 because of semi annual convention.

Yield= 7/2= 3.5%

a. the maturity is 20 years

We have to discount 1,000 20 years back which means 40 periods back as 20*2= 40

1,000/1.035^40=252.5725

The present value of a zero coupon $1000 bond will be $252.5725 when the yield is 7% and maturity is 20 years.

b. the maturity is 30 years

We have to discount 1,000 30 years back which means 60 periods back as 30*2= 60

1000/1.035^60=126.93

The present value of a zero coupon $1000 bond will be 126.93 when the yield is 7% and maturity is 30 years.

c. the maturity is 50 years

We have to discount 1,000 50 years back which means 100 periods back as 50*2= 100

1000/1.035^100= 32.06

The present value of a zero coupon $1000 bond will be $32.06 when the yield is 7% and maturity is 50 years.

d. the maturity is 100 years

We have to discount 1,000 100 years back which means 200 periods back as 50*2= 200

1000/1.035^200= 1.02

The present value of a zero coupon $1000 bond will be $1.02 when the yield is 7% and maturity is 100 years.
