The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question is incomplete because it does not attach the model to answer it we can comment on the following.
The problem is that Jamal, trying to increase profits, decided to sell two different products that are not part of the Subway products. When the franchisor visited Jamal's location, it realized the changes and set an ultimatum to Jamal to respect the franchise agreement.
The cause of the problem is that although Jamal wanted to diversify the products to have more income, this contradicts and is against the franchise agreement he signed when he bought the Subway franchise. The contract clearly states that the owner of the franchise can only sell products authorized in the contract by Subway. That is exactly one of the characteristics of a franchise. That you visit one of them any place in the world, and you are going to find de the same products with the same quality. That is the product guarantee of a franchise like Subway.
So the effects for the company are that its reputation an image can be questioned for selling different products that are hot approved by Subway. It is a major risk the company is not going to allow. Furthermore, it is stated in the contract. So Jamal has no right to break it.
One possible solution is that Jamal respects those 30 days to make the proper corrections, follow the guidelines established in the Subway's manuals, offer a sincere apology, and commit himself to operate the franchise just as it is stated on the agreement.

Answer:
Explanation:
First, find the YTM of the bond using the following inputs on a financial calculator;
N = 15*2 = 30 semiannual payments
PV= -925
Semiannual coupon payment; PMT = (8%/2)*1000 = 40
FV = 1,000
then CPT I/Y = 4.458%
Annual rate = 4.458% *2 = 8.92%
Next, use the YTM above and change the time to maturity to (15-5 )= 10 years or 20 semiannuals. Therefore, the price at year 5 will be as follows;
N = 10*2 = 20
Semiannual coupon payment; PMT = 40
FV = 1,000
Semiannual rate; I/Y = 4.458%
then CPT PV = 940.206
The price at year 5 will be $940.21
Answer:
The answers are:
1. combined producer surplus = $69
2. Alice and Amber (b)
Explanation:
A producer surplus is the difference between how much a producer sells a product in the market, and how much he is willing to sell the product for, if the market price is higher than the price he was willing to sell the product for.
The combined producer surplus of the ladies is the sum of their individual producer surpluses, and it is calculated as follows;
Alice: willing price = $35, market price = $70, therefore surplus
= 70 - 35 = $35
Amber: willing price = $38, market price = $70, ∴ surplus = 70 - 38 = $32
Andy: willing price = $68, market price = $70, ∴ surplus = 70 - 68 = $2
Combined producer surplus = 35 + 32 + 2 = $69
b. In this case the price of the 5 inch pot in the market is $45, Alice and Amber will sell their pots because the price in the market exceeds their willing price of $35 and $38 respectively and they will make producer surpluses of $10 and $7 respectively, but Andi on the other hand will not sell her pot because if she does, she will make a loss, as her willing price is $68 and the market price is $45, if she goes ahead to sell she will incur a loss of $23.
Mhm yeah I think soooo lol
