1 answer:

4 0

Skewed distribution happens when there is an imbalance/anomaly in the distribution, so it will violate the assumption.

Arlecino [84]

The options available are:

A. After subscription prices in the cable TV market fall, customers also purchase higher-speed Internet service.

B. Julie usually buys generic cereal because it is cheaper. One day she notices one of the brand-name products falls in price, so she decides to buy it.

C. Movie ticket prices plummet to $1, so you cancel your Netflix subscription in favor of attending movies at the theater. In addition, the cheap tickets leave you with extra money for concessions.

Option A. "After subscription prices in the cable TV market fall, customers also purchase higher-speed Internet service" is a perfect example of the real income effect.

Option B. "Julie usually buys generic cereal because it is cheaper. One day she notices one of the brand-name products falls in price, so she decides to buy it," is an example of the substitution effect.

While Option C. "Movie ticket prices plummet to $1, so you cancel your Netflix subscription in favor of attending movies at the theater. In addition, the cheap tickets leave you with extra money for concessions, " is an example of both the substitution and real-income effects

However, option D example "Kyle notices the cost of premium peanut butter has fallen. He considers this and then purchases less bread, " does not fit any of the substitution and real-income effects.

You observe the following term structure: Effective Annual YTM 1-year zero-coupon bond 5.2 % 2-year zero-coupon bond 5.3 3-year

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. If you believe that the term structure next year will be the same as today’s, calculate the return on (i) the 1-year zero and (ii) the 4-year zero.

b. Which bond provides a greater expected 1-year return? O 1-year zero-coupon bond O 4-year zero-coupon bond

The return on one year bond is = 5.2%

The price of 4 year bond today

$=\frac{ 1000}{ (1.055)^4}$

Price of 4 year bond today = 807.22

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be

$=\frac{ 1000}{(1.054)^3}$

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be = 854.04

Return

$=\frac{ (854.04 - 807.22)}{807.22}$

Return = 5.8%

The longer term bond has given the higher return in this case at it's YTM fell during the holding period(4 -year)

You run a hospital with 100 rooms. Fixed daily cost is $880.00 which includes staff salary, property charges, maintenance etc. V

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

$924

Explanation:

The computation of the profit/loss is shown below:

= Sale - variable cost - fixed daily cost

where,

Sale = Selling price per room × Number of rooms sold

= $55 × 41 rooms

= $2,255

And, the variable cost would be

= Variable cost per room × Number of rooms sold

= $11 × 41 rooms

= $451

And, the fixed daily cost is $880

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= $2,255 - $451 - $880

= $924
