Answer:

7.53%

Explanation:

Calculation for the discount rate of d(0,4)d(0,4)

The discount factor is : d=1/1+i

And given that the interest rates are compounded annually the discount factor will gives the present value of the bond when provided with the interest rate and maturity value.

Therefore the present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will be;

Present value=1 /(1+i1) (1+i) (1+i3) (1+i4)

Present value=1 / (1.07) (1.073) (1.077) (1.081)

Present value=0.748

The present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will therefore be 0.748.

Now, let calculate the discounting factor for the whole 4 years:

1 (1+d (0,4))‐⁴ =0.748

(1+d(0,4))=0.748‐¹/⁴

1+d (0,4) =1.0753

d (0,4)=0.0753

Therefore the discount rate will be 7.53%

Schach [20]

Answer:

A gain of $16,100

Explanation:

When the amount received from the disposal of an asset is higher than the carrying value of the asset, the company makes a gain on disposal.

The carrying amount of an asset is the difference between the cost of the asset and the accumulated depreciation of the asset.

Carrying amount

= $22,000 - $6,600

= $15,400

Gain/(loss) on sale of asset

= $31,500 - $15,400

= $16,100

The second-price auction model
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option B: charges the highest bidder only a penny more than the bid of the second-highest bidder.

Explanation:

To begin with, the model of <em>''the second-price auction''</em> is a non-truthful auction mechanism in which every bidder places a bid but with the little particularity that the one who has the highest bid, and therefore the one who gets the first slot, only pays the price bid by the second highest bidder, and this last one only pays the price bid by the third highest bidder and so on. Therefore that this auction mechanism is non-truthful because the bidder does not pay the price he said he would, but he pays the price bid by the other person.
