Answer:

6.64%

Explanation:

The pretax cost of debt is the Yield to Maturity (YTM). Since the coupons are paid semiannually, adjust the duration and the coupon payment amount to semi-annual terms.

You can solve for the YTM using a financial calculator with the following inputs;

Maturity of the bond; N = 20*2 = 40

Face value ; FV = 1000

Semi-annual coupon payment ; PMT = (7%/2)*1000 = 35

Current price of the bond; PV = -1.04*1000 = -1040

Then compute the semiannual interest rate ; CPT I/Y =  3.318%

Therefore, pretax cost of debt; YTM = 3.318 *2 = 6.64%

There will be a lower equilibrium price and higher quantity if _____.
77julia77 [94]

Answer: A) supply increases and demand stays the same

Check out the diagram below. The curves S1 and D1 are the original supply and demand curves for some product. If we shift S1 to the right, we get some new curve S2. This is increasing supply. Keeping D1 the same means that the equilibrium price slides down and the quantity goes up.

In short, we have more stuff in the market, and each of those items is cheaper.

deff fn [24]

The answer is : The demand is elastic.

Elasticity =

[(80,000 - 180,000)/((80,000+180,000)/2)]/[($40 - $30)/(($40 + $30)/2)]|

[(-100,000/130,000)]/[(10/55)] = -.7692/.1818= -4.23

The answer is -4.23, however when considering own price elasticity of demand, we ignore the negative sign and look at the absolute value to determine whether it is elastic or inelastic.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is e. -$4,940.

Explanation:

This problem requires us to calculate the amount of the cash flow to creditors. The cash flow to creditor means all payment made to creditors in form of interest payment or principal payment. The amount borrowed is deducted from it. The detail calculation is given below.

Interest =  Earning before interest and taxes - Net income - Taxes

Interest = 27,130 - 16,220 - 5,450

Interest = $ 5,460

Cash flow to creditors = 31,600 + 5,460 - 42,000 = -$ 4,940
