Answer:

This technique would be adopted because it would lower production costs and increase economic profit.

Explanation:

Consider the given problem here there are “4 factors” of production these are “Land”, “labor”, “capital” and “entrepreneurial ability”. Now, price of each input is given in the question.

given the price and the cost adopting “technique 1” is given by.

=> C1 = 4*2 + 3*1 + 3*5 + 2*3

         = 32

Similarly, given the price and the cost adopting “technique 2” is given by.

=> C2 = 4*4 + 3*2 + 3*2 + 2*1

          = 30  

Similarly, given the price and the cost adopting “technique 3” is given by.

=> C3 = 4*2 + 3*4 + 3*3 + 2*1

          = 31  

Now, given the price and the cost adopting “technique 4” is given by.

=> C4 = 4*4 + 3*1 + 3*1 + 2*4

          = 30

Finally, given the price and the cost adopting “technique 5” is given by.

=> C5 = 4*4 + 3*3 + 3*2 + 2*1

         = 33  

here the most efficient technique is “2 and 4” having least cost.

Now, for new technology the cost of using it is given by.

=> 4*3 + 3*3 + 3*1 + 2*2 = 28 < 30

Therefore, This technique would be adopted because it would lower production costs and increase economic profit.

A $ 5000 bond with a coupon rate of 6.7​% paid semiannually has eight years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 7.8​%. If int
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

As a result of an increase in the YTM, the price of the bond will fall $4677.19 from to $4593.67

Explanation:

The bonds are valued or priced based on the present value of annuity of interest payments and the present value of the principal. Based on the YTM of 7.8% the bonds are priced at,

coupon payment = 5000 * 0.067 *1/2  =  $167.5

Semiannual YTM = 7.8 *0.5  =  3.9%

Semi annual periods to maturity = 8 * 2  =  16 periods

Old Price = 167.5 * [( 1 - (1 + 0.039)^-16  + 5000 / (1+0.039)^16

Old Price = $4677.19

New semiannual YTM = 8.1% / 2  =  4.05%

New Price = 167.5 * [( 1 - (1+0.0405)^-16) / 0.0405] + 5000 / 1.0405^16

New Price = $4593.67
