Answer:

Price change in dollars = $104.22

% decrease in price of dollars = 11.13%

Explanation:

We assume the corporate bond have a face value of $1,000

Face Value = $1000

Coupon = 6.5%*1000/2 =32.50

Number of Periods = 15*2 =30

Semi annual rate of BBB bond = 7.2%/2 =3.6%

Price of BBB Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value =

Price of BBB Bond = 32.50*(((1-(1+3.6%)^-30)/3.6%)+1000/(1+3.6%)^30

Price of BBB Bond = $936.43

Semiannual Discount Rate for BB bond = 8.5%/2 = 4.25%

Price of BB Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value

Price of BB Bond = 32.50*(((1-(1+4.25%)^-30)/4.25%)+1000/(1+4.25%)^30

Price of BB Bond= $832.21

Price change in dollars = $936.43 - $832.21

Price change in dollars = $104.22

% decrease in price of dollars = $104.22 / $936.43

% decrease in price of dollars = 0.111295025

% decrease in price of dollars = 11.13%

These workers state the "only thing they have is their work". This statement suggests that without this work, they would have a
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Even if the workers have the work only to rely upon, they do not deserve to be treated with disdain, bias and victimization as mentioned in the case.

The values, whether they belong to western or eastern societies, do not allow anyone to work under forcible and inhuman conditions.

For a sportswear giant like Nike, it is the exposure to harsh reality of its partners in the developing world, and a shame that it could not detect, monitor and control the code of ethics it follows back home.

The Shapely Company uses the high-low method to determine its cost equation. The following information was gathered for the past
Naddik [55]

Answer:

$633,000.

Explanation:

We use the High-low method to get the cost formula:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}High&14,250&710,000\\Low&9,250&570,000\\Diference&5,000&140,000\\\end{array}\right]

This means 5,000 machine hours generate 140,000 labor cost

We divide and get the variable cost generate per machine hour:

Cost 140000

machine hours 5000

140,000/5,000 = 28

variable cost 28

Next, we use this to calculate the fixed cost:

total cost = variable cost + fixed cost

fixed cost = total cost - 28 X DL

<u>High:</u>

Total Cost 710,000

Variable 399,000 (14,250 x 28)

Fixed Cost 311,000

<u>Low:</u>

Total Cost 570,000

Variable 259,000 (9,250 x 28)

Fixed Cost 311,000

Now with the cost formula we solve for 11,500 machine hours

cost = 311,000 + 28 X Machine Hours

cost = 311,000 + 28 x 11,500

cost = 633,000
