Kuzio Corporation produces and sells a single product. Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Sell

avanturin [10]

Answer:

The company's monthly net operating income increases $4,600

Explanation:

The company is currently selling 6,000 units per month:

Total sales = $130 x 6,000 = $780,000

Total Variable expenses = $78 x 6,000 = $468,000

Net operating income = Total sales - Total Variable expenses - Fixed expenses = $780,000 - $468,000 - $184,000 = $128,000

If Kuzio Corporation increases in the monthly advertising budget of $5,800:

Total sales = $130 x 6,200 = $806,000

Total Variable expenses = $78 x 6,200 = $483,600

Fixed expenses = $184,000 + $5,800 = $189,800

Net operating income = $806,000 - $483,600 - $189,800 = $132,600

The company's monthly net operating income increases = $132,600 - $128,000 = $4,600

You observe the following term structure: Effective Annual YTM 1-year zero-coupon bond 5.2 % 2-year zero-coupon bond 5.3 3-year

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. If you believe that the term structure next year will be the same as today’s, calculate the return on (i) the 1-year zero and (ii) the 4-year zero.

b. Which bond provides a greater expected 1-year return? O 1-year zero-coupon bond O 4-year zero-coupon bond

The return on one year bond is = 5.2%

The price of 4 year bond today

$=\frac{ 1000}{ (1.055)^4}$

Price of 4 year bond today = 807.22

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be

$=\frac{ 1000}{(1.054)^3}$

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be = 854.04

Return

$=\frac{ (854.04 - 807.22)}{807.22}$

Return = 5.8%

The longer term bond has given the higher return in this case at it's YTM fell during the holding period(4 -year)

To what extent is primary product dependency the

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: Primary product dependency is a large constraint on economic growth and development within LEDCs due to the fact that commodities and their producers are highly susceptible to price fluctuations.

Explanation:

Primary product dependency discourages investment in other aspects of the economy. Concentrating on primary products does not always help the long-term development of an economy because it can contribute to a lack of investment in other aspects such as education and industrial production.
